The Thylacine De-Extinction Scam: Conservation or Cash Grab?

ambiguous world 2025-09-12 | The Thylacine De-Extinction Lie: Nature for Sale explores the truth behind thylacine extinction and the rise of the de-extinction project. From thylacine cloning and thylacine DNA experiments to recent thylacine sightings in 2024 and 2025, this documentary asks whether de-extinction technology and genetic engineering for de-extinction are really about conservation or profit. We dive into thylacine facts, the future of de-extinction animals, and the ethical issues in de-extinction. With thylacine sightings still emerging and universities, corporations, and investors pushing the de-extinction narrative, the line between science, spectacle, and ownership has never been thinner. with Colossal, this investigation explores how extinction is being transformed into a industry.

0:00 – Intro. You’ve been lied to — the Thylacine story is not what you think.
0:15 The Mirage of De-Extinction. Colossal Bioscience’s promises and the spectacle of CRISPR cloning.
1:00 The Consequences of CRISPR. How gene editing extends beyond animals to profit motives and human applications.
1:52 What If the Thylacine Is Cloned? The risk of erasing real survivors in Victoria.
2:31 Manufactured Support & Media Influence Forrest Galante, celebrity backers, and media mockery shaping perception.
3:18 Institutions for Sale. Universities, advisory committees, and political ties to Colossal.
4:16 Wall Street & Nature Credits. How finance plans to profit from biodiversity credits and tokenization.
4:47 Sightings in Victoria: Wilsons Promontory, Gippsland, and historical witness accounts.
7:04 The Jester’s Frenzy. How ridicule, mockery, and staged “evidence” discredit real sightings.
8:50 Conclusion. Extinction as industry, profit over preservation, and the survival of truth.

🌑 The Thylacine and the Lie Officially extinct since 1936, the thylacine continues to be reported in Victoria — from Wilsons Promontory to Gippsland. Witnesses are often ridiculed, compared to “Bigfoot chasers,” and dismissed. Critics argue this ridicule serves a purpose: protecting the extinction narrative, which fuels funding and hype.
🧬 Colossal and CRISPR Founded in 2021, Colossal Bioscience promises to resurrect lost species, including the thylacine, through gene editing. With backing from universities, celebrities, and Wall Street investors, Colossal’s projects attract headlines. Yet experts warn the science is incomplete — reconstructed genomes and surrogate hosts produce not true thylacines, but engineered hybrids. Critics say the spectacle is as much branding as biology.
⚖️ The Consequences CRISPR is powerful but risky. De-extinction projects are less about wildlife than about building profitable biotech platforms. Gene editing animals allows companies to test, patent, and refine methods for agriculture and even humans, with fewer regulations. In this way, extinction becomes a gateway to control over life itself.
💰 Wall Street and Nature Credits Behind the science is finance. Biodiversity credits, modeled on carbon offsets, promise to turn nature into a tradeable asset. Supporters call it conservation; critics call it greenwashing. Tokenizing nature could mean ecosystems become collateral for the wealthy while excluding those with less access. Wall Street stands ready to profit.
🐅 Sightings in Victoria Despite media dismissal, sightings of striped, dog-like animals continue in Victoria. Farmers and locals describe encounters at Wilsons Promontory and East Gippsland. Could the thylacine have survived? If so, what happens when Colossal’s clone takes its place — and reality is replaced with a corporate copy?
🔚 Conclusion The thylacine may or may not walk among us, but one thing is clear: extinction has become an industry. Colossal, universities, and Wall Street present their projects as salvation, yet critics argue profit, not conservation, drives the agenda. The survival of the thylacine — and the truth itself — remains caught in the balance.

New 2025 Thylacine Footage from Mainland Victoria. 3 Years. 3 Sightings. Has the Thylacine Returned?

ambiguous world 2025-08-23 | In this wildlife documentary, I investigate one of the most mysterious animals in Australia, the possible Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger). I filmed the Yarra Ranges across 2023, 2024, and now in 2025. Using advanced thermal cameras, including the InfiRay T2 Pro and the InfiRay TS60 scope, I captured multiple encounters of a quadruped stalking kangaroos under extreme weather conditions. Grey Kangaroo mobbing behaviour, unusual predator activity, fresh carcass evidence, and historical predator comparisons all raise one question: has the Thylacine returned to Victoria? This video examines the footage, the evidence, and the possibility that the Thylacine, thought extinct, still roams the Yarra Ranges.

The Hidden Cost of Kangaroo Culls | Drought $$ for Quota Chasers | Roo Bounty | Marsupial World Ep1

ambiguous world 2025-06-26 | Marsupial World — an unambiguous podcast
🎙️ Episode 1: Roo Bounties, Drought Dollars and Lessons from a Lost Species
Hosted by Christian Harding | Episode by Tom Jones

👉 Subscribe for more unambiguous takes on Australia’s wildlife, land management, and the uneasy intersection of science, politics, and profit.

💥 Episode Summary
In this powerful debut episode, we expose the hidden reality behind South Australia’s kangaroo management strategy during its worst drought on record.

When a $73 million drought relief package included $3.1 million for kangaroo and feral pest management, the government framed it as compassion — removing starving roos to prevent suffering. But as we reveal, this is no act of mercy. It’s political damage control, propping up a failing kangaroo harvest industry at the cost of native wildlife.

🔎 Key topics:
✅ The myth of compassionate culling
✅ Government bounties & inflated kangaroo population quotas
✅ Echoes of the thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) extinction
✅ Why invasive species like feral deer, goats, pigs, and foxes remain under-managed
✅ The collapse of kangaroo leather markets (Nike, Adidas, Asics, and others)
✅ The moral failure of “ethical meat” narratives

Through field data, historical parallels, and market realities, we ask: Why are native species paying the price for human-made crises — again?

⚡ Featured voices:
🎧 Christian Harding — Host and environmental storyteller
🎧 Tom Jones — Field correspondent and analyst

📜 Includes excerpts from Stock Journal’s “Roo Restrictions” podcast (2023) and insights from roo shooter Tom Kuerschner.

🌱 The bigger question:
Why are we still scapegoating native animals while the real ecological threats — feral pests, invasive species, land mismanagement — go largely unchecked?

👉 If history taught us anything from the thylacine’s fate, it’s this: stop blaming wildlife for the damage we’ve caused.

📌 Coming next on Marsupial World:
We flip the story. Watch for Episode 2 — featuring never-before-seen footage of a thylacine. Not in Tasmania, but on the Australian mainland. Is it a blurry myth — or undeniable proof?

BOBUCK Filmed in Thermal 4K | Undiscovered No More | Infiray TS60 Thermal Scope

ambiguous world 2025-05-22 | Experience 7 minutes of thermal footage of the elusive Mountain Bobuck in Australia’s Gondwana rainforest. Thought unidentifiable by thermal footage due to its fur, this possum's bushy tail appears vividly on camera. Once confused with brushtail possums, the Mountain Bobuck was only declared a species in 2002.

🔍 Mountain Bobuck – Key Facts
🧬 Species Identity
Scientific name: Trichosurus cunninghami

Common names: Mountain Bobuck, Mountain Brushtail Possum

Formally classified as a separate species in 2002 — before that, it was grouped with the Common Brushtail Possum (Trichosurus vulpecula).

🏞️ Habitat & Range
Native to southeastern Australia, particularly Victoria and parts of New South Wales.

Prefers cool, wet, high-altitude forests — especially temperate rainforests like the Gondwana rainforests.

Closely associated with eucalypt forests and mountain ash ecosystems.

📏 Physical Features
Stockier and more robust than the common brushtail possum.

Has a shorter snout, rounder ears, and a thick, bushy black tail.

Generally darker fur, often with a silvery-grey to brown coloration and a pale underbelly.

🌙 Behavior
Nocturnal and solitary, but may share den trees in cooler climates.

Territorial and will mark trees and logs with scent glands.

Known to use tree hollows, rock crevices, or logs as dens.

🍃 Diet
Herbivorous, feeding mostly on leaves, flowers, and fruits — especially eucalyptus and acacia species.

May occasionally eat fungi and bark.

👶 Reproduction
Breeds mainly in autumn and winter.

Typically gives birth to a single joey, which stays in the pouch for several months, then remains in the den or on the mother's back before independence.

🛡️ Conservation Status
Not currently listed as endangered, but habitat loss, especially from logging and bushfires, poses ongoing threats.

Sensitive to climate change, as they depend on cooler, wetter environments.

The Mainland Thylacine BODY with a EYEBALL & TONGUE / This Discovery that Baffles Scientists

ambiguous world 2025-05-08 | In this video, we investigate the mysterious discovery of a Thylacine body found in a Nullarbor cave during a 1966 geological survey. With an eyeball and tongue still intact, the carcass emitted the sweet smell of cadaverine, raising questions about its preservation, carbon dating results (estimated at 4,000 years old), and the possibility of a mainland Thylacine surviving longer than believed. Nearby were the remains of a rat, cat, dingo, and Tasmanian devil, all in worse decay — despite being much more recent. Could this be the Thylacine they don’t talk about?

🔍 What You’ll See:
0:15 Thylacine Body found in a Nullarbor cave.
0:33 Still with it's tongue and eyeball intact along with the fresh smell of death.
01:05 Scientist have their say on the age of the Thylacine Body (Carbon dating).
01:37 Real evidence does back up the carbon dating.
02:23 Animals that were only in Australia from 1788 were found in worse condition than the Thylacine.

ambiguous world 2025-04-30 | Background and Setting:
The Yarra River floodplain, nestled deep in Victoria's Yarra Ranges, is a landscape shaped by millions of years of natural processes. This ancient system supported a web of life, from the platypus in the water to wombats in the scrub, to kangaroos grazing the plains. Indigenous communities have long known the importance of these floodplains — not only as hunting grounds but also as places of spiritual significance and ecological wealth.

The Purpose of This Exploration:
With growing concern about the health of the river and the noticeable decline in native species, I decided to launch a small-scale project. Armed with two high-resolution thermal cameras, I aimed to survey the nocturnal activity along the riverbanks and adjacent woodlands. Would the natives still be hanging on? Would invasive species dominate? And most importantly — could we still turn things around?

Thermal Survey Methodology:
Over two consecutive nights, I set up thermal cameras at strategic points along the floodplain, focusing on the river and Billabongs— the places where native animals would most likely appear if they were still present. This passive surveillance allowed for minimal human disturbance and maximum authenticity in the results.

Wildlife Observed:

Platypus: One of Australia’s most iconic (and increasingly rare) river mammals, a platypus was seen foraging in a slow-moving section of the Yarra River.

Wombat: Wombats made a few appearances, seemingly in good health and numbers.

Rakali (Native Water Rat): Captured briefly moving along the water's edge and swimming?— these often-overlooked animals are vital indicators of waterway health.

Possums: Both common brushtail and ringtail possums were seen navigating trees and lower vegetation.

Bats: Microbats, also known as insect-eating bats, are common in the Yarra Valley and play a vital role in the ecosystem. They are small, fast, and mostly nocturnal, and they use echolocation to navigate and hunt insects, including agricultural pests, making them important for controlling insect populations.

Birds: Ducks and maybe a Owl (?) which landed / took off from the camera.

Non-Native Species Observed:

Cows: Feral cattle were caught on camera standing directly in the river, contributing to bank erosion and water contamination.

Foxes: At least three individual foxes were recorded hunting, posing a serious threat to ground-dwelling native animals.

Black Rats: These invaders were frequently seen near human-altered sections of the floodplain.

Disturbingly Missing:

No kangaroos. No wallabies.

The total absence of these key grazers signals a major ecological imbalance and possibly local collapse.

Environmental Threats Identified:

Severe riverbank erosion

Sediment-heavy, nutrient-polluted water

Weed invasion: Blackberry, thistle, and other aggressive species

Feral animal impacts

Dead or decaying livestock near water sources

Why It Matters:
The Yarra River isn’t just an isolated system — it feeds into larger networks that support agriculture, urban water supplies, and recreational areas. Damage upstream eventually affects millions of people downstream. Plus, if these floodplains collapse entirely, we risk losing unique species that have evolved over millions of years.

The Path to Recovery:
It’s not too late. Simple but powerful actions could make a huge difference:

Fencing off waterways from cattle

Active fox and pest control programs

Weed removal and native plant restoration

Community-led monitoring projects

Stronger legislative protection for critical habitat areas

Call to Action:
We have a narrow window of opportunity to protect what’s left and rebuild a thriving, healthy floodplain ecosystem. Whether it’s through direct conservation work, raising awareness, or supporting habitat restoration projects, everyone can play a role.

ambiguous world 2025-04-20 | ChatGPT analyses my thermal footage and gives the animal filmed a rating of 89% of being a Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger)

89% Thylacine | Hit by car? | ChatGPT Thermal Analysis | Forrest Galantes Wildlife Expert Review

ambiguous world 2025-04-16 | Government Report: Analysis of Suspected Thylacine Sighting – Yarra Ranges Date of Observation: 14th September 2024 Time: 19:36 hrs
Location: Yarra Ranges, Victoria, Australia Observation Method: InfiRay TS60 Thermal Rifle Scope Weather Conditions: Wet and drizzly conditions under heavy cloud cover Moon Phase: Waxing Gibbous (~81.9% illumination), with a Supermoon occurring on 18th September 2024
1. Introduction
This report presents a detailed analysis of thermal imagery, audio, anatomical features, and environmental context pertaining to a quadruped animal recorded in the Yarra Ranges. The investigation includes comparisons to known Australian and introduced fauna to assess the likelihood of the animal being a Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus).
2. Environmental Contexts
• Temperature: Approx. 8°C
• Weather: Cloudy, wet, and drizzly
• Moon Phase: 81.9% Waxing Gibbous
• Supermoon: Scheduled for 18th September 2024
3. Thermal Observation Summary
• Duration of Footage: ~18 seconds
• Technology: InfiRay TS60 Thermal Rifle Scope
• Thermal Signature: Uniform, showing no indications of mange or patchy fur loss
• Animal Interaction: Observed moving through a mob of Eastern Grey Kangaroos; joeys and juvenile females retreat as the animal approaches. The animal halts behind the dominant male (Boomer).
4. Gait and Locomotion
• Stride: Smooth, fluid, and even across all limbs
• Tail Behaviour: Rigid, used as a counterbalance
• Rear Sway: Subtle lateral movement consistent with some marsupials (e.g., quolls, devils, and thylacines). No indication of limp or injury.
5. Body Proportions (Relative to 100% Body Length)
Measurements are based on thermal frame analysis and comparison to skeletons and preserved specimens. Values are approximations:
Body Part Observed Animal Fox Dog Cat Quoll Devil Thylacine
Head 19% 21% 22% 22% 24% 25% 18–20%
Neck 11% 10% 11% 11% 10% 10% 10–12%
Torso 40% 38% 39% 38% 36% 35% 38–42%
Rear Leg (total) 48% 50% 49% 48% 45% 43% 48–50%
Tail ~50% 35–38% 30–45% 30–35% 25% 26% 40–52%
6. Rear Limb Proportions (as % of Body Length)
Segment Observed Animal Typical Thylacine Fox Dog Cat
Femur ~18% 18–19% 16% 16% 17%
Tibia ~20% 19–20% 18% 18% 19%
Metatarsus ~10–12% 10–12% 8% 9% 9%
7. Tail Analysis
• Length: Consistent with historical Thylacine range (~40–52% of body length)
• Base Structure: Thick, muscular, and merges seamlessly into the body, unlike canines and felines which typically show a distinct narrowing at the base
• Texture: Uniform thermal emission indicates healthy fur coverage. Lacks the typical bushiness seen in foxes and dogs
• Tail Tuft: Visible in multiple frames, particularly as the tail passes in front of a kangaroo silhouette. Not prominent but discernible, aligning with historic accounts of aroused male Thylacines displaying a raised tail tuft.
8. Head and Ear Analysis
• Head Shape: Elongated and narrow, with a gentle sloping forehead. Does not resemble a fox, which typically has a more angular cranial structure
• Snout: Long and straight, consistent with museum specimens of Thylacines
• Ear Shape: Upright, rounded rather than pointed. Ears appear relatively short compared to those of foxes or domestic dogs, aligning more with historical thylacine depictions
• Thermal Profile: No signs of ear-mange or lesions; healthy structure retained
Feature Observed Animal Thylacine Fox Dog Quoll Devil
Head Shape Narrow/elongated ✔ ✘ ✘ ✘ ✘
Ear Shape Rounded ✔ ✘ ✘ ✔ ✔
Snout Straight ✔ ✘ ✘ ✘ ✘
9. Thermal Signature and Health
• Mange Assessment: No signs of thermal inconsistency such as 'hot spots' or patchy loss typically seen with mange
• Body Condition: Uniform heat signature, rounded musculature, and symmetrical fur density all indicate a healthy individual
• Common Mange Zones: Foxes with mange exhibit visible thermal thinning on limbs, ears, tail base, and hindquarters—all of which appear unaffected in this specimen
10. Species Likelihood (% Confidence Rating)
Species Likelihood (%) Rationale
Fox 2% Tail too straight, head-to-body ratio mismatched, lacks mange
Feral Cat 1% Incorrect scale, thermal profile and tail shape
Dog 5% Lacks domestic gait and head morphology
Quoll 1% Far too large, tail and posture inconsistent
Devil 1% Size and gait inconsistent
Possum 1% Incorrect scale, posture, and tail shape
Thylacine 89% Matches tail length/rigidity, gait, head shape, thermal health, behaviour
11. Artist’s Impression
Image Caption: "Most likely artist impression of the thermal animal."
12. Conclusion
The subject captured in the thermal footage exhibits a range of physical and behavioural traits highly consistent with a healthy, mature male Thylacine. Features such as tail morphology, rear leg proportions, head shape, and lack of mange suggest that it does not belong to any currently known native or introduced species in the region.
When all anatomical, thermal, and behavioural evidence is considered collectively, the likelihood that the animal is a Thylacine is estimated at 89%.

NEW Mainland Thylacine FOOTAGE | Yarra Ranges | Tasmanian Tiger

ambiguous world 2024-11-08 | I had picked up my Thermal cameras and was walking home, 6:20AM. I noticed a sandy coloured animal some ~75m away. I decided to get my mobile phone out and film it. I then noticed the Kangaroos to the left, and got a wee bit distracted by them. Then I noticed the sandy coloured animal was a Thylacine and was moving towards where the Kangaroos had moved too. The Thylacine then noticed me....and ran. I apologise for the potato quality of the footage, modern phone cameras at their best!
0:01 Introduction
0:17 Full raw footage of the mainland Thylacine tracking the kangaroos.
0:51 Zoomed in and slowed down footage.

Tracking Dingoes of the Yarra Ranges | Thermal HD | InfiRay TS60 Tube

ambiguous world 2024-11-07 | I've spent a while tracking these Dingoes and found an area where I could clearly get footage if they crossed the bridge rather than going through the creek. After a few nights of setting up the camera and picking it up in the morning with nothing on it, I eventually filmed them.
This area is only ~50km as the crow flies from Melbourne.
0:01 Introduction
0:14 Dingo Scats just some of the evidence I have used to track these quadrupeds.
0:22 First Dingo enters first with a injured front right leg. Followed by the 2 other dingoes.
0:57 The 3 dingoes wait for the Alfa Male Dingo has gone through the mountain creek.
1:14 The Dingoes walk up the slight incline with the injured Dingo clearly bobbing it's head. The Alfa Male brings up the rear.
