Is the tasmanian tiger or thylacine still exist ?

This is the latest video footage submitted by Thylacine Awareness Group.

The last Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, is said to have died in 1936 and was declared extinct in 1986. 
The Thylacine Awareness Group claims there have been 5,000 reported sightings of thylacines in the past 80 years.
The last known Tasmanian tiger named "Benjamin" died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936.
This adding fuel to the theory that tasmanian tiger is not extinct, when a women recently witnessed at Aldinga Beach, South Australia.

The thylacine, more commonly known as the Tasmanian Tiger, was named for its final habitat though fossil records and cave paintings show it was once common across Australia and also lived in Papua New Guinea.

Despite being called tigers due to the distinctive stripes on their back, thylacine are actually predatory marsupials, very closely related to the Tasmanian Devil.

By the time Europeans arrived in Australia thylacine were already confined to coastal regions and Tasmania, believed to have been out-competed by other species such as dingoes.

Aggressive hunting by the new settlers in order to protect flocks of sheep they brought with them all but wiped the thylacine out, with bounties offered per scalp a hunter could bring back.
