do you remember how we used to run
The thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, is not a tiger. Nor is it a dog, a fox, or a wolf. It is an extinct carnivorous marsupial…
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 ]
Detail from an illustration in Alfred Wallace's book, The Geographical Distribution of Animals. Australasian mammals.
I can guarantee these are real thylacines.
I do not think the recent photos that just came out are real :/ sorry yall.
These are stills from a 1928 Beaurmis zoo film by James Malley.
Apologies for the screenshots 😭 idk how to get better quality images of the photos from the thylacine museum.
Uh oh sisters! It's Sad o'clock because I saw a thylacine at a museum again!
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.

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!
“In the collection stores of the Australian Museum is this beautiful specimen which has kept its vibrant fur thanks to minimal exposure to light or touch. As our Manager, Programs Matt put it, “Pulling the drawer open is an awe-inspiring, solemn and shameful experience.”
