    well is believed that thylacines werent social animals,they probably made small family groups which would consists of the female and her joeys.But again there's not much information about thylacines' social life

    So whats your suggestion for the collective of Thylacines? Can be worked out, can be fun, can be a combo of both!

    I’m also liking a Fire of Thylacines for the reasons I listed before re. Flame of Thylacines. With your permission, @Pootle, I’d like to organise a vote.

    I've seen a taxidermied one at the Museum of Natural History in Berlin. They only exist as taxidermies because they went extinct for almost 100 years.

    I hate that we've driven so many great species like this to extinction. It would've been really cool to see a Thylacine :(

    Lets just imagine...

    Someone next week got great film footage of a Thylacine romping about, what happens next...?

    1. People say it is fake and dismiss and ridicule the person filming it.
    2. Convince people it has been generated to look real.
    3. Just ignore it. (sounds daft but would happen).
    4. Insist on more proof. - like what, another video or a selfie with it?

    Until you have 100% proof, people will not believe other people, that is people for you, generally following the popular view/crew.

    On another creature, the 'Patterson Gimlin film' provides just about 100% evidence that another living creature which Patterson himself filmed exists. Despite 10000s of witness's it does not exist yet. Some of the reasons of these two 'creatures' don't or no longer exist are linked actually.

    Of course it’s a mistake - a big one - but the 1969 map of Rome zoo includes a thylacine.

    There are two seperate 10 second segments to this film. One features the Devil, with the Thylacine obscurely behind it. The other one shows just the Thylacine- clearly.

    You can probably get a pretty good sense of what would happen from the claimed ivory billed woodpecker video from 2005. It generated huge scientific and public interest, and massive attempts to replicate the sighting, none of which brought convincing results. Now it is mostly dismissed.

    What would happen with a modern thylacine video would depend on whether it was confirmed with verified follow-up sightings or not.
