With a new report of a possible Thylacine sighting in the vicinity of Donovans, a town on the Glenelg River in South Australia, Loren Coleman harks back to an incident in the same region, the shooting of the "Tarantoola Tiger" over a century ago. Now two questions arise from the 1885 shooting of the supposed creature that had been preying on the area's sheep: Was the creature shot and mounted for display the creature that everyone referred to as the Tarantoola Tiger? What was a European wolf doing in Australia? There's still the question of what Richard Elliott of Donovans saw Monday afternoon, too, "that resembled a Tasmanian tiger." With images. There's also more on the recent filming of an anomalous creature of Vermont's Lake Champlain in ABC News on Champ Video + New Enhancements.
