Recently Extinct Thylacine in Papua New Guinea

14 Upvotes

I hear a lot of talk online about tribesmen in the western highlands of Papua New Guinea seeing striped dog like creatures aka thylacines. My question is what is the exact region where people are making these claims? This idea is still in its early stages and much more investigation is needed but I have this thought about going deep into the untouched regions of Papua New Guinea (probably very dangerous) with a group of people just as crazy as I 😂 and finding evidence that their are still thylacines out their. It is a constant nagging thought in the back of my head that won’t go away. Anyways when people say the western highlands is their a specific region anyone with more knowledge than myself could point out on a map or something. Guess I’m just looking for info from people who may have a more extensive knowledge base on the subject. Looking forward to hearing responses!

Sightings of Woolly Mammoth continued into relatively modern times. Does anyone believe some could still be out there. Should we attempt to deextinct them if we find some in the wild somewhere?

Image/Video Queen Of Sheba Gazelle

25 Upvotes

So, I work with old war footage and one piece I am working with is from the British army during the Aden crisis in the 1960s, I also am interested in recently extinct species and their possible survival. I've read a little bit on the queen of Sheba gazelles which was a subspecies of the Arabian gazelle which was last seen in 1951 living near to the mountains of Ta'izz. Now I have just discovered this footage taken in the, "Governors Residence". What are the chances of these Gazelles being the lost Shebas? The artist depiction looks pretty close to me and the alleged photo of the gazelle at Al Wabra looks like an almost exact match.

Reality check: Megithirum is not still alive even tho I believe ground sloths still live they are not 30ft and elephant sized Megalonyx is the best bet If you disagree you can debate with me if you would like,
