Interestingly Currumbin has succesfully bred Tasmanian Tigers....lol well according to a newspaper article regarding the panda import thay have successfully bred many animals from koalas to kangaroos and tasmanian Tigers.... Idiots!
it happens all the time. journalists and media moguls are responsible for the dumbing down of australian society and the simpsons too but on the subject of thylacines, well, currumbin breeding them, that is an acheivement lol
I thought they were extinct . I also heard that Steve Irwin once went to Tasmania trying to find one ( he didnt succeed with that one ) It would be an awful long way to go if Currimbin did actually have some off site !
Has anyone tried a serious search in the New Guinea Highlands yet? Its within their historical range and there have been many modern reports of a similar-looking creature from local tribesmen.
yes there indeed have. a close friend of mines father is geologist and has spent plenty of time hiking around the new guniea highlands. he has some interesting storis of local who claimed that they have seen a thylacine-like animal. his son has seen UFO's and claimed for years he saw a flamingo at lakes entrance (and i STILL failed to convince him otherwise zoopro!!! )
If PNG really was withing the old range of thylacine habitat i wouldn't call a wandering geologist convincing proof that the thylacine doesn't exist anymore... Considering the facts that only recently an expedition to PNG's mountain ranges yielded about 30 new species of animals, inlands of PNG are not accesible by anyone that doesn't have about 30 or so permits and Okapi's (not the smallest creature in the world) weren't discovered untill the 20th century i wouldn't say that there might be no chance of ever finding one... Still the odds are getting smaller...
I just believe now (having followed its story for many years including visiting Tasmania three times....) that if the Thylacine is ever rediscovered, it will be in New Guinea rather than Tasmania.
