What's wrong with that? They want to take a picture of an animal that's been labeled extinct for seventy years but they think there still might be some tazmanian tigers in the deepest bush, and there's a million dollar reward to take a photograph of one and prove they still exist. So, those guys go out hunting to try and take a picture of one (if there are any), with the chance of getting rich at the same time.

I'm more curious about the million dollar reward. Why would the newspaper sponser that? Do you think they could make that much money from owning the rights to the picture that would likely be spread all over the internet in like two seconds?

It's a publicity stunt on behalf of the news paper.
