Can YOU find the Tasmanian Tiger in this picture? Long-time seeker insists it contains proof the elusive Australian mammal is NOT extinct ---- A trail camera has captured an image that has sparked a debate whether one of Australia's lost animals has a sub-species living in Perth. The footage was captured on the outskirts of Perth and shows a dog-like animal with an extremely long tail. The cameras were placed in the property after the owners said their pet dog was killed by an unknown animal. With recent sightings reported of the extinct Tasmanian Tiger roaming around just an hours drive of Perth, an online debate is raging whether the animal could be a fox or a mainland species of the thylacine. The Tasmanian Tiger or thylacine officially became extinct in 1986, despite the death of the last known thylacine in Hobart Zoo in 1936. The Tasmanian Tiger looked like a long dog with stripes and had a heavy stiff tail. With debate raging whether the animal could be a fox, Thylacine Awareness Group Of Australia founder Neil Waters said it could possibly be a sub species of the thought to be extinct Tasmanian Tiger. Mr Waters said there have been numerous reported sightings of the Tasmanian Tiger an hours drive from Perth, both historical and recent, but none have been confirmed. In November the Thylacine Awareness Group Of Australia released special footage of what they believed to be a Tasmanian Tiger captured by trail cameras on a property in Nannup in Western Australia. Mr Waters told Daily Mail Australia the animal moved exactly like a thylacine. | Daily Mail
