The thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, is not a tiger. Nor is it a dog, a fox, or a wolf. It is an extinct carnivorous marsupial…
(will update when I pull out my info I wrote down, I just woke up =w=)
EDIT IM SO SORRY
LOOK BEHIND THE DEVIL GDFSGDHFFVB LOL
This thylacine taxidermy at QVMAG has been nicknamed “Frankentiger” because it was constructed from the parts of two different individuals. American taxidermist Frank Tose is pictured in the black and white photograph above constructing Frankentiger’s plaster form in 1937.
Photos are from Where Light Meets Dark. [x]
I found this interesting thylacine image I have not seen before
Detail from an illustration in Alfred Wallace's book, The Geographical Distribution of Animals. Australasian mammals.
Originally shot by Dr. Randle Stewart, an Australian psychiatrist, whilst on honeymoon in Tasmania, these 18 seconds of combined footage show the last captive thylacine in the world.
Commonly referred to as “Benjamin”, the individual lived at the now-abandoned Beaumaris Zoo from the early 1930s to his death in September of 1936, incidentally the same year thylacines were granted official protection by the Australian government.
The footage, shot in 1931, had been considered lost since the late 1970s.
This is my favorite photo of them
