the user name "im-lying-i-swear" doesn't exactly inspire trust lol... but nice thought though eh!
And it DOES make a nice change from a mainland fox blurry photo passed off as Tassie footage of a tiger

A bit embarrassing for you that this is the closing scene from the movie The Hunter

I didn't realise that they used live footage of a Tiger in the movie

I was hoping this would be slightly interesting... nope.

The poor thing looks like he/she has a hip problem.

The weather at the date the video claims to have been filmed is inconsistent with the snow on the ground, see http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/dwo/IDCJD ... test.shtml. It's a cute video though.

Micro-climate.

I thought the shadows looked wrong. I'm also pretty sure you can see Neil Armstrong in the background shaking hands with Elvis.

Its not fake...

Its from the last 5 minutes of the film "The Hunter" which was filmed here last year (great flick BTW IMO).

Seems more like groundhog day to me!

looking at your avatar I'd say we have found a real tiger from Tassie

He's a paper Tasmanian. He's got far too much genetic diversity in his DNA.

I moved here so it felt like I was living amongst the British aristocracy
... and talking of animals, why do Macpac make a koala baby backpack? Haven't they got pouches like other marsupials?

Blame the NZ education system.

PS: our teeth are better than the British aristocracy.

What if the Koala has twins? (Ollster, not tassie twins, I mean 2 different bodies)

The dominant twin usually eats the subordinate.

Ah facts just get in the way of a good yarn anyhoo....

[Grindelwalddave]

On a serious note, I remember when I was younger tiger sightings were quite common. Are there still reports of their existence from time to time? Or have the sightings dried up?

Maybe they're extinct again? Or maybe home stills are less popular than they were...

[southwestwalker]

Oops, I diddnt realise, it actually sais it's from the movie in the discription of the video ahaha :s

[Liamy77]

or maybe there were just more sightings during mushroom season?!

I was on the Overland Track from the 6th till the 11th of Jan and I can tell you there was snow on the ground.......

Genius tourism ploy!!
