This photo, thought to be from the 1880s/1890s, is one of the earliest to show a thylacine. In it, a mother is posed at rest, curled around her joeys, one of which is nestled in her pouch. This taxidermy set represents the only known mount of a mother thylacine and her young, and despite its pricelessness, was supposedly destroyed in 1935. [ x ]

A woman looks into a diorama of three Thylacines, date and location unknown. [ x ]
Haha that's cool I like this theory
(Also note: no shade to you op. that taxidermy was made super inaccurately, they could kinda stand on their tails but not like a kangaroo like in that taxidermy stance)
But I love this!! I definitely think he might be a Thylacine now XD
He’s a thylacine. Thylacinus cynocephalus. Also known as the Tasmanian wolf or Tasmanian tiger.
Sounds like a bold claim to make? Let’s look at the facts.

Sorry if you’ve already said, but what’s the book you’ve been reading about thylacines?
This thylacine footage was recently rediscovered by researchers Gareth Linnard, Branden Holmes and Mike Williams on March 4, 2020.
Originally filmed by the Bester family c. 1933-1936, the 9.5mm black and white film includes 7 seconds of a captive thylacine in its enclosure at the Beaumaris Zoo.
Such a rare and amazing find!

The Brighton Thylacine, at the Booth Natural History Museum. The egg is a Great Auk egg. Although the museum is mainly a memorial to several Victorian collectors, the exhibits now have a strong conservation message, and they really do need more visitors and donations to preserve the collections.
