A video that was shot in 2008 seems to have captured a Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine in Western Victoria. It is sure to please those interested in cryptozoology.

Neil Waters, who heads the group Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia believes the video to be authentic. He states, “This thylacine here was a lot bigger and broader than the fox,” he said. “It does appear to have its rear hock go flat when it steps which would give the indication that it has that typical rear foot like a thylacine. It’s got an incredibly thick neck and it’s very stocky in its build.”

“It also has that very long, stiff tail that looks like an extensions of the back bone essentially, it doesn’t really move, it certainly doesn’t sway side to side like a dog.”

Here is the video with commentary from the woman who caught this mysterious cryptid creature in action.

I think it could be. Here is an historical pic from www.australaingeographic.com
