To catch a Tasmanian tiger!
In South Australia, in the late 1960s, there were a spate of sightings as farming land was opened up in the south-east of that state. Then, in 1973, some of the most intriguing film footage was captured of an animal running through a camp-ground with a gait that can only be described as inelegant. If only there were film footage from the 1930s of a running thylacine to make a comparison!
Moving east, Victoria too has its share of sightings with one report suggesting sightings of up to 63 tigers in a state park merely 25km from the capital city. In New South Wales there seems to be a hot-spot on the far north coast with details of 50 sightings being published recently. In 1995, intriguing film footage was again captured, this time in Queensland. This film, together with the 1973 footage from South Australia, is for me the most tangible evidence of Tasmanian tigers alive on the mainland today. The 1990s also heard reports of tigers living in remote regions of Irian Jaya, Indonesia.
In 2005, German tourists Klaus Emmerichs and Birgit Jansen captured two digital photographs they claim show a live Tasmanian tiger. Skeptics quickly dismissed the photos, stating that they were almost identical to a photograph taken in the 1930s. However, these photos became a turning point in my search for the Tasmanian tiger. Having two photos meant that you could build a three dimensional model of the scene being photographed. It would have to be a very clever hoax to produce two photos that show a three-dimensional scene consistently; unless, as critics would say, you are photographing a real cardboard cut-out.
Spending countless hours performing measurements and overlays, holding phone calls with Klaus and email discussions with experts, I had to conclude that no photo will be sufficient to prove the thylacine still exists. However, the analysis led to the birth of my website, "Where Light Meets Dark", dedicated to examining evidence for rare fauna.
What began with tiger fever has grown to encompass devils, quolls, wallabies, potoroos – all bizarre both in name and in nature. There are still gems to be found: a rabbit-like marsupial called Gilbert's potoroo was rediscovered after a 115-year absence; Tasmanian devils have turned up – alive and dead – five times during the 1990s and one book presents evidence for Tasmanian tigers alive and well on the mainland in the 1800s. To catch a tiger – on film at least, please!
