Possible Thylacine York Peninsular, South Australia

Looks like a roo to me

a reply to: Mandroid7

Well the Thylacine does have a pouch. Marsupial.

Kind regards,

Edit: Thylacinus cynocephalus, Greek for "dog-headed pouched one", was the largest known carnivorous marsupial of modern times.

Thanks Wikipedia.

I hope it is indeed one, but it looks too stocky and the neck maybe not long and thin enough.
Good hunting (with the camera, of course).

Looks like one to me also

If there is any film of one running that could help

One thing i knoticed it looks like the back leg is hurt ... but it also looks like its moveing pritty fast for a limp ... and looks big

Are we sure this footage isn't CGI? I'm pretty exhausted and don't have the energy or will tonight to do any further research.

The silloutte looks promising and to me I think it looks convincing if this footage is real.

Interesting and lucky find indeed!

Did he check for scat or tracks? Anybody find this out yet?

Not an expert, obviously, but I would be amazed if it is a tiger. To me it looks to be a type of canine.

Lol

Tasmanian Tigers were/are not tigers... they were/are a carnivorous marsupial complete with a pouch.

Yeah, after watching some videos, I don't think it's a kangaroo...
Cool Video, I am not sure what else it could be, it almost looks injured

some of the authors comments on youtube:

I was filming the sunrise. I had my camera set to time lapse initially. But when I saw what I thought was a fox or dog appear off to the right, I stopped time lapse and put it on normal and zoomed in slightly, hoping to get a silhouette shot in front of the sun. Had I suspected it was a tiger, I would have grabbed the camera and pursued it to get a closer shot. But I only realized afterwards that the creature could be a Thylacine unfortunately, so an opportunity missed. That said, I am glad I was there at the right time with my camera going.

Wow. So many assumptions about me. Here are the facts. I wasn't there to film a Thylacine. I was filming the sunrise when something bounded across in front of my camera and it was only after I got home and viewed the footage that I realised what it might be. So next time maybe check you facts. All this info is out there to read already.

Oh it's real alright. A few people have claimed it's fake, but I stake my reputation for producing original content on it being absolutely legit footage.

a reply to: bally001

you and me both, although the area it was filmed has had lots of heavy rain the past week

a reply to: harold223

Maybe CGI.... just throwing that out there haha.
You never know with silhouettes against the sun and all... would be a perfect setup.

If it is a Tas, God Speed!

a reply to: oddnutz

Well, I guess that explains, leastways, why he didn't further investigate it at the time.

Kudos to him for posting the video.

kind regards,

bally

also for some reference, here is another carnivorous Australian marsupial (Tassie Devil) running. Contrary to popular WB cartoons, they don't spin around in a tornado lol

a reply to: oddnutz

Great vid. Speed it up 20 times and you'd have the cartoon character.

Hmmm interesting.

For those of you who do know know much about South Australia, the whole state apart from Adelaide is pretty depopulated so it is just possible that something like this could be lurking around largely unnoticed.

Down our way we have the great Tantanoola Tiger legend

a reply to: markosity1973 Yes, like great Murray Cod. Legend stuff in SA.





kind regards,

I think it's a roo, but it would be brilliant if it was a Tassie Tiger.

He should have gone to look for tracks.

a reply to: harold223

The big problem i have is the location . The land around Moonta is for the most part cropping land .



Not many places to hide around there and lets face it the thing has got to eat . The reason they were hunted in the first place was because they killed livestock .


Now if the sighting was a hundred odd kilometers south we would have a whole new ball game . Plenty of space to hide there . And it's tough terrain .

a reply to: hutch622

Correct.

Looks to be too an open an area for such an apparently elusive animal.

Yes they are the hide and seek champions of the animal kingdom .
