Sightings of live thylacines have been reported from time to time, but there are no clear photographs or video records; usually, the subject involved may be a dog or fox. Recently, two independent independent sightings on the Cape York Peninsula in northern Queensland in March 2017 received some news attention<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/mar/28/tasmanian-tiger-sighting-search-thylacine-queensland-australia</ref>. Large rewards are usually offered as well for the capture of a live specimen, such as the March 22, 2005 Australian magazine ''The Bulletin'' 750,000 euro reward; these offers always go unclaimed.

In 2007, Australian zoologists from the Australian Center for Ancient DNA at the University of Adelaide wanted to begin DNA analysis of feces collected during the 1950s and 1960s, in the belief that it survived in the wild much longer than previously thought. More ambitious involves outright cloning, which began in 1999 with reconstructing the DNA from preserved tissue samples and a fetus kept in alcohol since 1886<ref>http://www.smh.com.au/news/Science/Clone-again/2005/05/14/1116024405941.html</ref>.
