I was thinking Tasmanian something too. Didnt they have a striped wolflike animal? This looks bigger than the Tasmanian Devil to me.
Not a Tasmanina devil. Goggle it, they have photos of them before they were wiped out by idiots in Tasmania.
The hardest thing to swallow about these cryptozoological stories is that in order for an unknwon species to exist, it needs a large enough breeding colony to sustain genetic diversity. The larger the critter, the larger the range it needs to occupy, and in today’s shrinking world, the less likely such a large critter could possibly go unnoticed.
