thylacine shelf

I'VE BEEN SUMMONED

Can't wait to see how these come out recolored!

Some beautiful 35mm stills from a 1928 film of three thylacines residing at the Beaumaris Zoo, Hobart. Stills taken by James Malley.

Thought y'all might enjoy this.

I used an app to recolor black and white photos of thylacines.

This thylacine taxidermy at QVMAG has been nicknamed “Frankentiger” because it was constructed from the parts of two different individuals. American taxidermist Frank Tose is pictured in the black and white photograph above constructing Frankentiger’s plaster form in 1937.

Photos are from Where Light Meets Dark. [x]

some more images of the thylacine you have probably never seen before

tiger time

Damn I also think of thylacines and laika a bunch. That's nuts.

do you remember how we used to run

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.

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.
