    Not meaning to steer this thread off course but when do you suppose you'll be finished? Knowing you spent over a year just on one exhibit for the Design a Zoo thread it might be a while;)

    No clue. I do know it will need some massive rewrites to clean stuff up.

    I reckon it was still around at least until the early 1980's.;) I have a cast from a set of footprints taken then, they were identical to those shown by Eric Guiler in one of his books and purported to be those of Thylacine, as found during one of his 1960's searches on the Woolnorth property in the North West of Tasmania.

    Description; the prints matched the only known sketches/depictions of the shape of the pads. They were widely spaced apart but evidently from an animal with a narrow build. No dragmarks of a tail but the film footage clearly shows the tail raised and not touching the ground during locomotion.

    They were definately not; Dog, Devil, Wombat or Wallaby and were too large for any other of the Tasmanian native marsupials.

    There have been many photographs and casts of footprints produced over the years as sub-evidence of its continued existence. Some of these are easily identifiable as misidentification, principally with domestic Dog prints- but others do very closely match the (believed appearance of)) prints of the Thylacine.

    Make of that what you will.;)

    I can easier believe the unicorn story than the one about him shooting 11 holes in one the first time he played golf.

    Is his name "Skeeter"? Does anyone watch the reality show with Lizardlick Towing? I can so see those guys coming to repossess his car.

    Just trying to liven up the thread. Ironic when you look at what I used to do that:p What an entirely nanoboy-like thing to say...

    Well, the Ketchum bigfoot paper was finally published in a peer reviewed journal. Except that they had to create a whole new journal just to publish this codswallop. If I can just create my own peer reviewed journal I can publish my theory the Lesser Fijian Trolls are accomplished accordion virtuosos suffering from a lack of love from their third cousin twice removed.

    I'm saying the whole trying to liven up the thread with a story about the undead is a joke you'd make:p

    I don't think even nanoboy is callous enough to make a joke about the living impaired.
