The Tasmanian tiger, a large striped carnivore, is believed to have gone extinct over 80 years ago — but newly released Australian government documents show sightings have been reported as recently as two months ago.released a documentThe thylacine, a marsupial that looked like a cross between a wolf, a fox, and a large cat, is believed to have gone extinct after the last known live animal died in captivity in 1936.

One report last February said that two people, visiting Tasmania from Australia, were driving when an animal with a stiff tail and striped back walked onto the road. Another report filed the same month described a striped"cat-like creature" moving through the mist in the distance. In 2017, another driver reported seeing a possible thylacine near the Deep Gully Forest Reserve in northwestern Tasmania. He didn't see stripes, but he was about 150 meters away -- likely too far to have seen that level of detail. He"seemed certain that if it was a cat it was a bloody big one," the report said.
