Footage of the last Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger)...and possible 2009 sighting?

The thylacine was a large carnivorous marsupial that was once native to Australia, but later survived on the island of Tasmania. It is now considered to be an extinct species due to intensive hunting and the last known thylacine died in 1936 at The Hobart Zoo in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. A truly amazing creature and a shame it was hunted to extinction.

Here is footage from 1933 of the last-known survivor of the species:



This is a short clip from a man who claims this is footage of a living thylacine that he recorded in 2009:
