MYSTERY MARYLAND ANIMAL COMPARISON TO THE THYLACINE *PIC*

I have compared several images to the marsupial Thylacine known as the Tasmanian Wolf or Tiger to the mystery animal recently cited in Maryland. More than one of these animals has likely been sighted in Maryland and an animal resembling the one in the video has recently been caught.

The animal in the video resembles closely the Thylacine and could be a member of the Thylacine family. The animal recently photographed seems to have a short mane on the back leading up to the head, which is slightly different than the Thylacine. However, there seems to be many striking similarities to the Thylacine, even more so than found in a hyena, dog or fox.

Observe the markings on the underside of the neck and on the haunches of the hind legs of this recent image compared to the markings on the Thylacine. There are roughly three dark bands on the underside of the necks on both animals. On the upper image faint stripes can also be seen just above the hind legs as in the image of the Thylacine below. The animal recently photographed also has a long peculiar tail not shown in this image.

I have compared many of the images and the body design like the ears, snout, nose, neck, torso, legs and long tail, and they are very similar. I collected several images of the Thylacine from the internet and the Thylacine seems to have several slightly different body shapes and coloring. Even though the animal recently photographed does not have as pronounced stripes on the back, on the one recently shot light stripes can be seen as in the Thylacine. The two animals are more similar than any other animal I have seen. It could be a member of the marsupial Thylacine family.

Here is an article detailing the mystery animal of Maryland. If you click on the link in the article there are several images to view. The images of particular interest are the last few that are of the live animal videoed previously which seems to be somewhat different than the one recently caught in the images, and those seem to be slightly different than the images of the animal recently shot in Texas. Those last few images are very similar to the Thylacine.
