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

This is an awesome book

I definitely recommend it

Sorry if you’ve already said, but what’s the book you’ve been reading about thylacines?

colorized thylacine footage

Brighton Thylacine details, an eye and a front and back foot. This thylacine taxidermy can be found at the Booth Museum, Brighton. (handy reference for artists and model makers.)

LOST THYLACINE FOOTAGE REDISCOVERED

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.
