Where's the Thylacine thread?

The Shrike · 22nd February 2021, 06:04 PM

Twitter is abuzz today with a Thylacine fanboi group claiming they've got game cam footage of mama, papa, and joey Thylacine. They should have confirmation (??) by the end of the week.

Yawn.

Checkmite · 22nd February 2021, 06:46 PM

Well, it's a foregone conclusion that whatever they imagine was spotted, it wasn't Thylacines. Thylacines are striped.

Was there any actual trailcam footage?
I just skipped through the fat, deluded Tasmanian talking bollocks and didn’t actually see any “proof”.

What did I miss?

Nothing. No actual footage or still pictures. Just the fat guy talking.

Of course we could lump all the Thylacine threads in one because they're the same: dude claims to see Thylacine; doesn't.

Watch out it is probably another one of those joke animals the Australians keep making up to mess with us - like Kangaroos and Platypus. Don't know why they do that given they have such real animals such as Drop Bears.

It is a little known fact that Thylacines are actually extinct because they were the Drop Bears favourite food. Since then the Drop Bears have thrived, having found a new food source - Tourists, who are too busy looking at the ground to avoid snakes, rather than up into the trees to avoid Drop Bears, but also fail to smudge Vegemite on their face for protection.

Pure coincidence but yesterday I stopped for 3-4 minutes on a Kratt Brothers Wild Creatures (?) episode that had them time traveling back a century or so to save the T Tiger from extinction.
I'm not the target audience so I bailed before finding out what they did.

The thylacine seems to have been misidentified as a Sydney morning herald.

Yep. A Sydney Morning Herald is another type of Australian animal. (Journalisti enebriatus) This fast evolving species was once only found at drinking holes around the Holt St publishing head quarters of the Sydney Morning Herald, laying bets on horses.

However with the invention of the mobile phone and the evolution of the chief of staff, a symbiotic relationship evolved where the chief of staff would howl "Getbacktotheofficeyoudrunkedbastardsoryour'efired " which causes Journalisti enebriatus to rush back to a cavernous structure called the main office.
