Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Irian Jaya (the western, Indonesian half of New Guinea),"

Irian Jaya is now called "Papua". The locals want it that way.

Of all the animals on earth, the tiger is the one that I fear the most.

I live on the island of New Guinea, in Papua.

Could be. In New Guinea it was thought by the European colonial powers that the highlands were basically deserted and that all the population was on the coasts. But the highlands turned out to be the most populated. So if people were only discovered there in the 1930’s, who can say what still is to be found there?

They're in witness protection and have changed their name to New Guinea Pigs.....

I totally believe it still exists either on the Australian mainland or on some of the surrounding islands/archipelagos.

Predators are by their nature even at best of times sparsely populated and solitary. Even now I wonder about the big cats in North America, how they successfully maintain a population, with densities of one per square mile or even less...

Exciting. Hope they still exist. They were wrongfully blamed for stock losses in Tasmania.
