I've always liked this image bc it really shows the differences between thylacine and wolf skulls

Things to note about thylacine skulls:

-thylacine eye sockets lie "deeper" into the skull

-no stop whatsoever

-8 upper incisors (rather than six), different (pre)molars

-Skull is bottle shaped when viewed from the top

The body of Wilf Batty’s thylacine, stiff with rigor mortis, tied to a fence on the man’s farm. Mr. Batty shot the animal, believed to be a male, in May of 1930, after it had reportedly been going after his chickens. It’s commonly believed that this represents the last thylacine to be killed in the wild. The photo itself, one of just five known to exist of the individual, was uncovered and shared by the great grandson of the original photographer. [ x ]
