Is there still a possibility that the stellar sea cow, caspian tiger, or tasmanian wolf still live.

Question

Because the stellar sea cows died out 27 years after it was discovered.

Answer 1

Im not sure. I dont think so.

Answer 2

There are reported sightings of all 3, but nothing solid.  They will be listed as extinct until a live specimen can be caught and confirmed by a biologist.

There is a possibility, but it is very slim.

Answer 3

Soon after their discovery, fur hunters began to kill the defenseless Steller’s Sea Cow for its tasty meat, and within 27 years, the Steller’s Sea Cow had been systematically slaughtered to extinction. The last Steller’s Sea Cow supposedly died on one of the Bering Islands in 1768.

From time to time, rumors have circulated that Caspian tigers still exist, but these have never been scientifically verified. According to some experts at the Iranian Department of Environment, tigers may still survive in the mountains south of Aliabad, on both sides of the Turkmenistan border, and in the southeastern corner of the Caspian coast near or within the Parvar protected region. It is here that, some years ago, feline tracks were discovered which caused great excitement in IDOE. Twenty huge prints, 12cm long and 14.5cm wide, were found in both snow and on the ground. These were too large to be those of a Caspian leopard (Panthera Pardus), a large cat that still exists in this region, unless this was an extraordinarily large leopard.

In 1981, aborigine tracker Kevin Cameron was hired to investigate thylacine sightings. In 1985, he showed people colored pictures of a thylacine and casts of the animal’s footprints. There was a debate over the authenticity of the pictures.

In 1982, a NPWS ranger saw a thylacine about 20 feet from his car. He described it as an adult male who appeared to be in excellent health.

Reports of sightings continue to be made from the sparsely inhabited areas of Tasmania, New Guinea, Iran Jaya and Australia.

The debate as to whether or not the thylacine exists continues.

Answer 4

There a possibilty that they are still alive.Although the Thylacine is formally extinct, many people believe the animal still exists. Sightings are regularly claimed in Tasmania, other parts of Australia and even in the Western New Guinea area of Indonesia, near the Papua New Guinea border. The Australian Rare Fauna Research Association reports having 3,800 sightings on file from mainland Australia since the 1936 extinction date,while the Mystery Animal Research Centre of Australia recorded 138 up to 1998, and the Department of Conservation and Land Management recorded 65 in Western Australia over the same period.Independent Thylacine researchers Buck and Joan Emburg of Tasmania report 360 Tasmanian and 269 mainland post-extinction 20th century sightings, figures compiled from a number of sources. On the mainland, sightings are most frequently reported in Southern Victoria.[An artist's depiction of two Thylacines from 1883.Sightings of the Red Fox (first introduced as early as 1864 and again in around 2000)in Tasmania are taken very seriously, despite only minimal evidence of the presence of the species on the island.h While the Fox Free Tasmanian Taskforce receives government funding, there is no longer any funding for searches for the Thylacine. The difficulty of locating foxes in the Tasmanian wilderness points to some chance of the Thylacine's survival away from human contact. Despite many sightings being instantly dismissed, some have generated a large amount of publicity. In 1982 a researcher with the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service, Hans Naarding, observed what he believed to be a Thylacine for three minutes during the night at a site near Arthur River in the north west of the state. The sighting led to an extensive year-long government-funded search. In January 1995, a Parks and Wildlife officer reported observing a Thylacine in the Pyengana region of North Eastern Tasmania in the early hours of the morning. Later searches revealed no trace of the animal. In 1997, it was reported that locals and missionaries near Mount Carstensz in Western New Guinea someone had sighted Thylacines. The locals had apparently known about them for many years but had not made an official report. In February 2005 Klaus Emmerichs, a German tourist, claimed to have taken digital photographs of a Thylacine he saw near the Lake St Clair National Park, but the authenticity of the photographs has not been established The photos were not published until April 2006, fourteen months after the sighting. The photographs, which showed only the back of the animal, were said, by those who studied them, to be inconclusive as evidence of the Thylacine's continued existence.

Answer 5

There could be an extremely small chance but i highly doubt that.

Answer 6

there could be a small chance. there are many claims of sightings, though nothing will be confirmed without solid evidence, like a live specimen caught. however, if there is space for them to live and breed, and unless scientists do an incredibly thorough sweep of where they may live and find nothing, there is a (small) chance there may still be some out there.

Answer 7

It would be extrememly unlikely. If they were to be still alive, there would have to be some population of them around in which no one has seen since the species was last seen alive. n the case of the Stellar sea cow, they have not been seen alive for over 150 years, and they were rather large animals, they would have to be very well hidden to avoiddetection all these years

That bing said, there are new species of large mammals being discovered all the time. Perhaps one of these species may have a hidden breeding population somewhere
