Tim Noonan joins researchers from the University of Tasmania to search for the elusive Tasmanian tiger using camera traps around the island. Tim broadens his search beyond the island's shores to Papua New Guinea, hoping for new developments.

Tim explores reports of the elusive creature in the remote forests of Papua New Guinea, despite the threat of hostility from the locals, and manages to collect potential DNA evidence. In Australia, Jeremy Austin reveals his findings from the DNA.
