Are "chupacabras" actually displaced thylacenes (Tasmanian tigers)?

[Hammerfest]

[Heladys]

Nothing else left to say.

An interesting video from Sasquatch researcher...

Well that's as far as I got.

Nothing else left to say.

Any excuse not to look at a video about the extinct thylacene, eh?

For shame.

[Mormolyce]

I'm going to have to go with no.

[Egomaniac]

Yo Dawg..I heard you like conspiracy theories..so i put a conspiracy theory in your conspiracy theory...

[Kaleredar]

While this thread is obviously complete hogswizzle, an interesting note...


People usually think Chupacabras are beasts from latin folklore that date back some centuries... in fact, the myth of the chupacabra arose in exactly the year 1995. The speculated origin is that an elderly woman in Puerto Rico watched the science fiction film "species" and thought that the alien depicted in the movie was an actual creature and reported it as the probable cause for odd livestock deaths.

I don't want to be sceptical, but the first thing that came up when I googled thyacene was that someone was offering a sizable reward for a live one.

Gee, what a surprise.

Generally speaking, an animal whose entire lifestyle would be to attack farm animals would not have lasted long, as predators usually have the brainpower to realize ''sheep=food=good, but sheep=humans=death). To be blunt, they would find chubacabras raiding garbage bins [I]way/I] before attacking cattle.

And this makes the thread "higswizzle" because...?

[Z-Man]

So, everyone then.

Very few people survive meeting one, so eyewitness account are rare. They're more dangerous than unicorns.

[Kaleredar]

And this makes the thread "higswizzle" because...?

Because both chupacabras and extant thylacines are hogswizzle

[Immitis]

a chupacabre is a fucking chupacabre what kind of question is this??

[Hammerfest]

Because both chupacabras and extant thylacines are hogswizzle

Why are thylacines "hogswizzle?"

[Egomaniac]

And this makes the thread "higswizzle" because...?

Because you're talking about a creature that can't be proved to actually exist actually being a creature that no longer exists.

It's basically like a Leprechaun expert saying the Loch Ness Monster might actually be a Thalassomedon.

[Kaleredar]

Why are thylacines "hogswizzle?"

Because they went extinct many decades ago. Hence the notion of them being "extant" (I.e not extinct) is hogswizzle. Much moreso in central/South America

"Hogswizzle" means "extinct?"

[Daedius]

That's a dog with mange...

[Kaleredar]

"Hogswizzle" means "extinct?"

No hogswizzle means "hogwash," "horseshit," "bullshit," and any other manner of animal excrement meaning "nonsense"

[Noomz]

An interesting video from Sasquatch researcher MK Davis. He discusses the possibility that what they are calling the "chupacabra" in Central and South America today are actually Tasmanian tigers that were spared the culling that took place around a hundred years ago.



Anyway, I thought it was an interesting idea.

(Edited to add: Yeah I misspelled "chupacabras" in the thread title. If someone wants to fix that for me they can.)

They'd have to be extremely fucking displaced and completely unable to be found, with no fossil record in latin America or anything. "Sasquatch researcher" hahaha, yeah alright.

That is one angry beast
