Happy New Years! Here's This Lil Edit

Wait wait!!! The skin doesn't quite match up and we really need more photos of the specimen to match it with Benjamin!

The article is confusing I'll admit 😭

THEY FOUND BENJAMIN’S REMAINS!?!?!??!?!?

You know what? That's it.

I found this interesting thylacine image I have not seen before

Preserved head of a female thylacine at Oxford University Museum of Natural History and a photo of the same animal when she was alive. This individual was captured in 1925 and sold to Beaumaris Zoo in Hobart, before being transferred to London Zoo in 1926. She died on the 9th of August, 1931. She was the last living thylacine to be exhibited outside of Australia.

Here are some more thylacine recolors for y'all!!

This photo, thought to be from the 1880s/1890s, is one of the earliest to show a thylacine. In it, a mother is posed at rest, curled around her joeys, one of which is nestled in her pouch. This taxidermy set represents the only known mount of a mother thylacine and her young, and despite its pricelessness, was supposedly destroyed in 1935. [ x ]

Australian thylacine stamp from 1962.
