images of the thylacine you have probably never seen before

The term Blobsquatch is used when an image is taken of a supposed Sasquatch but nothing can be deciphered out of the vaguely human-shaped “blob”. These blobs can commonly be debunked as dead trees, tree stumps, or shadows. The term was first used on Bigfoot Forums in the early 2000s by a man by the name of Vito Quaranta. 

1933 Thylacine Footage Colourised

Through his company, the Paris-based Composite Films, Samuel François-Steininger has developed a well-deserved reputation as a leader in the field of colourising black-and-white archival footage. The NFSA scanned the original film negative using a Scanity HDR (High Dynamic Range) film scanner and sent Ultra High Definition ProRes files to Samuel in Paris. Samuel's team then commenced extensive research before embarking on the colourisation process. Samuel writes: 'For the thylacine, I faced a different kind of challenge – and responsibility. I had to take care of the rare filmed footage and pay tribute to the last representative of a species, which disappeared 85 years ago.' 'From a technological point of view, we did everything digitally – combining digital restoration, rotoscoping and 2D animation, lighting, AI algorithms for the movement and the noise, compositing and digital grading. 'More than 200 hours of work were needed to achieve this result.'

Here's a nice way to celebrate National Threatened Species Day in Australia (September 7) - some enhanced and colorized thylacine footage! Watch it on the NFSA Website.

(By the way, as of September 7th, 2021, it has been 85 years since the death of the last confirmed thylacine in 1936.)

This is the most famous photo of Champ, the Lake Champlain monster. It was taken in 1977 by Sandra Mansi who was out with her family on the lake. As her sons waded in the water and she and her fiancé looked after them, Sandra noticed what she thought was a school of fish about 150 yards from the shore. After a little bit “the head and neck broke the surface of the water” and when her fiancé quickly ushered her sons out of the water, she snapped the photo with her camera. Sandra estimates the creature surfaced for four to seven minutes as they watched it. The original photo has been looked at by several experts and they can find no evidence of tampering with the photo to fake it. As of now, this is the most solid evidence of a monster in Lake Champlain.

Inktober Day 12: The Ahuizotl

The ahuizotl is an amphibious creature, and when on land its fur dries into spikes as hard as steel. Its main prey is humans, although it only consumes the hair, fingernails, and teeth of its victims, leaving the rest of the body unscathed.

We still have enough time in 2019 to bring back the thylacine
