I've read that there may still be some in the wild. Every now and then someone claims to have spotted one. You never know. The Grizzly Bear is supposed to be extinct throughout much of the U.S., but a few years back, a hunter came crawling out of the Southern Rocky mountains after being mauled by one. A few survivors here and there. One can hope (for Grizzlies and Tasmanian Tigers)...
What agency do you work in, Ronald, being near the Canberra Nature Park and alll?
Yes there are persistant rumours of them being spotted every now and again. Just as there a rumours of big cats being seen in the bush in norhern NSW. The story goes something like that in WWII american troops stationed here had pumas or similar cats as mascots, and that they were then let go and bread. As with the tiger there's no film of either.
I work for Navy Training. I issue qualifications. The Canberra Nature Park is all around Canberra and also covers the hills within. So, we have lots of nature walking tracks etc.
