Thylacine By: W. S. Berridge From: A History of Land Mammals in the Western Hemisphere 1913

I went to the natural history museum at Harvard a few weeks ago, saw a Tasmanian Tiger in person for the first time, cried about it, and then proceeded to take photos of it from every angle possible as I stared longingly at it for many many minutes.

drew a thylacine and am really happy with how it turned out!

This is an adult male thylacine taxidermy from the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. The most striking aspect of this mount is the little fangs - they may not be anatomically correct, but they’re pretty cute and give him a unique look :)

Unfortunately there is no information about where this specimen came from, the date it was collected or who donated it to the museum.

The mount is in fair to poor condition, with significant damage on the ears, belly, medial aspects of the legs, and near the base of the tail. The white band was placed around the belly in an effort to prevent the skin from cracking further. I did my best to show only his good side, but he’s in need of some serious restorative work. It’s a shame because his facial expression, pose and color are all quite good.

Eternal thanks to @diplotomodon for alerting me to the existence of this specimen!

(My main blog, @sixth-extinction is listed on the images.)

Haha, oops! Sorry the individual is behind the devil!

I still haven't found a way to colorize gifs. But I don't think a lot of people know about this thylacine footage.

(will update when I pull out my info I wrote down, I just woke up =w=)

The tiny skull of a thylacine joey, part of the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Prior to her premature death, this individual lived alongside her mother and two siblings at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park. [ x ]
