Uh Oh Sisters! It's Sad O'clock Because I Saw A Thylacine At A Museum Again!

Colorized Thylacines pt. 3

Antique Magic Lantern glass slide of a thylacine. Magic Lanterns are an early type of image projector used for entertainment and educational purposes from the 17th to 19th centuries.

Here’s a nice thylacine photograph I personally hadn’t seen before. From Eric Guiler’s book “Tasmanian Tiger: A Lesson to be Learnt.”

Photo caption in the book states that it’s a male at the Beaumaris Zoo.

The Brighton Thylacine. This specimen lives in the Booth Natural History Museum and is on display at the time of writing. The collection  consists of natural history specimens collected by several Victorian collectors,(mostly taxidermy birds) plus others donated and found by locals. The museum now is themed around conservation and education.

The Thylacine was collected and mounted in the 1870s and is sadly quite faded, it is missing it’s stripes, though there is a chance it might not have had any. The feet are well preserved, as is it’s face. The display allows you to get close. I took more detailed photos which I will post. 

New Thylacine Photos

A taxidermy mount of a male thylacine, donated by the Macleay Family and currently part of the Chau Chak Wing Museum‘s collection. Going by its display card, it’s possible the animal was shot by a William Petterd (1849-1910) in Tasmania in 1875. [ x ]

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=)

EDIT IM SO SORRY

LOOK BEHIND THE DEVIL GDFSGDHFFVB LOL

Thanks for the tag!

Here are more photos of thylacines from the Berlin zoo. There were 4 individuals in total, 3 males 1 female all from different times except for the last two who arrived at the same time (a male and the female)

unfortunately all were very stressed and showed behaviors such as pacing and chewing on the bars (seen in top photo) which wore down their teeth.
