【目击探讨】最后的袋狼——昆士兰虎
昆士兰虎是一种被报导在澳洲东部地区生存的神秘生物。在当地土语中，昆士兰虎被称为yarri。它被形容为犬一般大小的猫科动物，身上有条纹，长尾，口中有突出的獠牙，充满了野性。一些猜测认为，它是袋狮的幸存者或后裔，也可能是野猫的变体（可能与袋狮的牙列不符）。1926年，澳大利亚动物学家勒苏韦夫 （Albert Sherbourne Le Souef）在著作《澳大利亚的野生动物》（The Wild Animals of Australasia）中将它描述为一只“长着条纹的有袋大猫” （Striped marsupial cat）, 这条信息不久也被收入埃利斯·特劳顿（Ellis Le Geyt Troughton，澳大利亚博物馆动物馆长期馆长）的《澳大利亚的有皮毛动物》（Furred Mammals of Australia）。据说，这种神秘动物是最接近官方认可的一种神秘生物。

昆士兰虎（Queensland Tiger）首次目击于1871年，据称这是一种体长4英尺（约1.2米）的四足食肉有袋类（Marsupial）生物。
在1940年—1950年昆士兰州（Queensland）曾出现过一系列有关昆士兰虎的目击，人们试图捕捉这只神秘的野兽，但没有成功。
目前已知昆士兰虎（Queensland Tiger）具有食肉与攻击性，会捕食家畜与澳洲本土生物，如袋鼠（Kangaroo）。
有资料称昆士兰虎（Queensland Tiger）具有尖爪与爬树能力。
目前关于昆士兰虎最著名的两个理论分别为“袋狮说”和“袋狼说”，另两种较冷门理论则分别是“未知物种说”与“逃匿猫科动物说”。

另外呢，澳洲也有一种名为布德林姆之兽（Beast of Buderim）的UMA，据说这是一种类似袋狼的生物，而且活动范围与昆士兰虎（Queensland Tiger）有所重叠，有人认为布德林姆之兽与昆士兰虎是同一种生物，而且是残存下来的袋狼呢。

1964年目击者Rilla Martin拍下的照片，目前普遍认为这张照片是塔斯马尼亚虎（Tasmanian Tiger）。另外也有观点认为这是昆士兰虎（Queensland Tiger）甚至是袋狮（Marsupial lion）呢。不过这张照片自出现以来就不断遭受质疑，加之底片的丢失让照片的真伪更加扑朔迷离。
续上，根据Rilla Martin女士的说法呢，她当时是在驱车前进时看到了一只神秘生物，于是立即停车拿起她的相机进行拍下了这张著名的照片。但当Rilla Martin女士正打算下车拍张清晰照片时呢，这只动物已经跑掉了啊。
对于Rilla Martin女士滴说法，很多科学家与神秘爱好者都是不信哒。（楼主深思熟虑后决定删掉此楼，因为我无法保证翻译与理解的正确性）
话外音：直接不发不是更好么......

据说捏~Rilla Martin女士当时拍照用滴照相机是一种名为布朗尼（Brownie）的笨重相机呢~下图是维基百科中一些不同型号的布朗尼（Brownie）相机的图片~Furthermore, Martin's supposed ability to stop driving, erect her box Brownie camera, and then take a reasonably good photo of a running animal is slightly suspicious.

由于昆士兰虎的攻击性，会捕食当地居民饲养的家畜，因此目击者较为倾向于攻击昆士兰虎，甚至有传出一些枪杀昆士兰虎的传闻，但非常可惜的是，由于没有意识到它的科学意义，因此尸体通常都被简单的丢弃了。另外呢，据说曾经一名目击者“卡嘣”一声打死一只昆士兰虎啦，但是尸体依旧被抛弃在野外，头和身体还遭到野猪啃食，毛皮也腐烂了。等到被专业人士发现时早就已经不成样子无法辨识啦。根据目击者描述绘制的昆士兰虎图像。
Lots of that uninhabited land is pretty harsh.
The Thylacine has been extinct on the mainland for over 2,000 years though, the extinction is attributed to competition from indigenous humans and invasive dingoes, Tasmania was where the last of the species resided. That was where we wiped them out, along with the Tasmanian indigenous culture. Every Tasmanian Aborigine was also erradicated. Almost every Tassie indigineous language has been lost.
We managed to wipe out the people, why not the Thylacine?
Of course it is not a ridiculous or impossible notion, David Fleay caught one after the extinction was announced, but it escaped the trap. I do not discount David Fleay. I feel there is no doubt the species survived the 1930 extinction date, but was the MVP big enough? What a pity David Fleay did not manage a capture. Had he done so, I doubt the animal would be considered extinct today.
Undeadsketic, PM a member called Tia. She had a print analysed in her backyard of a suspected Thylacoleo Carnifax. She is from the Blue Mountains. Intruiging.
Personally I find the idea hard to believe (I know, that is going to SHOCK a great deal of people).
Mostly because the creature would be feeding on livestock, which is heavily monitored and the bite would be unmistakeable. Having grown up on a farm, I have reasonbable experience in hunting predators.
I am quite sure the early famers would have been mistaken, or a little drunk. I assure you, I never heard such a rumour in rural Queensland. We have Ostriches, Deer, German Shepards and Feral cats, but never seen or heard of someone claiming a Thylacoleo. As mentioned, this is a big place, and avoiding men with guns 200 years ago was not all that hard. Some would be still around, and killing livestock, and one bite mark from this unique beastie would be easily identified.
I think a Tassie Thylacine a much better chance of still being around.
What's Rexy got to say on the Thylacoleo?
*Chuckles - prolly has a pet one*

地图显示1936年至1980年塔斯马尼亚（Tasmania)出现的袋狼目击案例位置。
Map showing location of sightings between 1936 and 1980 in Tasmania.
黑色=1目击，红色=5目击（这句绝对有问题哈哈）
Black = 1 sighting, red = 5 sightings
自我吐槽：其实我自己都看不懂我到底在写什么。

澳洲有着许多的野猫，其中一些体型非常大且有着类似昆士兰虎的条纹，各位吧友觉得是否有可能是巨型野猫误判呢？

有关昆士兰虎较早的一个理论认为这是一种名为袋狮（Marsupial lion）的古生物或是袋狮的近亲。提出这一理论的是神秘生物学家杰姆罗·克拉克与罗兰·科尔曼，他们认为目击者描述的昆士兰虎有类似猫科动物的头部以及爬树能力，而这些与袋狼是不相符的。（下图是昆士兰虎）
