Wild dogs and prospecting

[goody2shoes]

I want a Yowie to cuddle :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[20x]

Camera caught this critter roaming around the other night.
Sort of a cross between a Dingo / Whippet and a Fox but that is not possible.
Really Long Tail.

Looks more like a Madagascan fusser lol

Another pic from the other night.
Just got to go through around 1050 more photos as the camera has been counting cars go past is why it is there in the first place.
Ridiculously Long Tail.

 

[goody2shoes]

Should send the photos of to the local papers

 

[Bush]

Just a Wild Dog until verified.
Best leave the creature to have it`s Private Life.
Who knows maybe there`s some Quack out there cloning DNA.
Dinosaurs next.

Fly By.

Whenever I heard wild dogs around my camps in WA or FNQ, I would let off my stock or bull whip.
That clears them.
Never worried about dingoes though - their howling would send me to sleep.

Looks like a fox with mange to me. :Y:

Despite officially listed as extinct, many people believe the species has survived in remote areas of Tasmania and the Mainland.
Cannot validate or dismiss the initial posted photos above.
Certainly has corresponding similarities as mentioned in these links below including sightings.
There seems tobe some variables in makes and models.
It is possible that Thylacine characteristics change or evolve to suit their environment.
Will set up the camera again and see what takes place and re posted.

No Bushy Tale.

Just an observation here, the rear foot section on the Tazzie Tiger is very short in comparison to the middle and upper sections on the rear legs.
The animal in your camera picture has a longer rear foot section very close in size to the middle and upper lengths of the rear leg.
Just an observation but still can't rule out or confirm what it actually is.
Fingers crossed you can get a better pic of it, how good would it be to know and confirm the Tiger has managed to survive all these years.

Hmmm, I'm going to keep eye on this space. When we take into consideration those pics of the Thylacine were taken in captivity, meals provided...what you have imaged there Bush looks pretty thin on it.

Put some tucker out in front of the camera for it, do it a few times and see if you can get a closer shot.

PP post 79# has highlighted that it definitely isn't a Tassie Tiger.

Your right that tail is quite different to what we'd expect to see in a dog or fox.

Shakergt might be on the money.

Not a Fox.
This is a Fox `i` played Ball with it.
Came into my House a few times & Eats Pumpkins.
Dead now neighbor shot it eating his chickens.
Probably best as they cause erosion.
Cameras set up all i got last night was a couple of Roo`s.
Foxy Lady.

 

[Bush]

Few more Foxy Shots just for the Record.
Honey she was.
A couple more weeks `i` think `i` could have had her sitting and shaking paws on command.
Red Necks need not comment `i` totally understand.

 

[Bush]

He he he now where`s the chickens.
There are 21 different species of fox throughout the world, but only the red fox is found in Australia.
The red fox has big ears, a bushy tail and variable coat colour and pattern.

That tail is of mutant genes :/ it's definitely not a fox either, lower leg is too long on this mystery dog. Daughter and son in-law have a Shepard which has similar length structure of the legs but not the tail. Would be great to find out what it actually is.

 

[Pro-oz]

Looks to have a very long tail in this photo.

 

[Bush]

There are that many things getting around here they keep me awake at night.
Tried to catch what seemed tobe a black staffy pup but had fangs on it like a Saber Tooth Tiger.
Followed it along the road for a click then it dashed off into the scrub.
Even a White Alpine Dingo was caught in the area by a neighbor.
It`s part of or near The Never Never National Park.

Dog with mange

 

[RM Outback]

Here a picture of the Shepard's hind leg, very similar bone length which makes me think it's a dog of some sort showing up in your camera.
