UM-Bot Posted February 18, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2006 It was 3.30am on a mild January morning when North Coast resident Mick Stubbs watched a cat-like creature walk along a roadway near Mullumbimby and then duck under a fence before disappearing into the long grass. "In the first split second I said 'oh look, there's a fox' and then straight away I realised it was no fox because it had a huge long tail that was thin and even in length.

AztecInca Posted February 22, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) Well there are always sightings down here, even on the mainland but still sadly no real, evidence that can`t be dismissed. I believe there may be a few still out there but whether we will ever catch one again is debatable! Edited February 22, 2006 by AztecInca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+joc Posted February 22, 2006 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I think it is highly likely that they were not extinct as previously believed...I mean look at the Mountain Lion in California...they were on the endangered species list and now they are simply everywhere....give the Tamanian Devil time...it'll come back.

Harks Posted February 25, 2006 #9 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Capture a male and a female then start a Thylacine farm... I think that you might get a few genetic mutation with only using two genetic lines. Inbreeding has always had it's drawbacks, while you promote good genes you always promote bad ones as well. Only after a long selected breeding program (approx 7 generations), can you get rid of most of the bad genes. It is a good thought though (if we only had two, at least one would be a good start).

Erikl Posted March 1, 2006 #12 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Capture a male and a female then start a Thylacine farm... The problem is that even when it was still abundent and introduced to zoos, it never bred in captivity. Also one has to note that it always was a secretive animal who preffered to avoid human contact as much as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if few exist, and the reason no one sees them today is that their population is limited because of competition with other introduced predators such as cats, dogs, etc., rather than human hunt.

thecreeper Posted March 2, 2006 #14 Share Posted March 2, 2006 yup, a small orange thylacine shaped bush...very common around those parts. about as common as bigfoot shaped bushes in America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harks Posted March 4, 2006 #15 Share Posted March 4, 2006 about as common as bigfoot shaped bushes in America You are right in a sence, there are still a few places in the world for many a creatures to hide, for now; as we expand and devoloped for more land for growing populations and require more rescources the world will become a smaller place. There will be no where else to hide, either they will adapt or die. We are land animals so it is only logical that we devolop all the continents of the world, before we venture else where, (the moon, Mars, under sea, (then you might see your mermaid again )).
