Watch: Rare footage of the “extinct” Tasmanian Tiger

Footage has emerged which apparently shows a Tasmanian Tiger roaming the wilds of southern Victoria in Australia, reports Russia Today.

The Thylacine aka “The Tasmanian Tiger” was officially declared extinct in 1936.

Since then various images and pieces of footage have emerged proving the existence of the animal although none have officially been verified until now.

“The video, which was released by the Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia, shows close up footage of the animal, with experts very confident it is a Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine to give it its scientific title.”

“Filmed in 2008 but only released on Friday, Thylacine Awareness Group founder Neil Waters says there are a number of features which would indicate the animal is a thylacine, or a possible subspecies of it.”
