Colorized Thylacines Pt. 3

You know what? That's it.

**Tasmanians your tiger**

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 ]

just remembered they had both a thylacine mount AND skeleton in the museum in darmstadt so i needed to show you all!

I'll be posting some backlog cuz why not- this is a sketch I finished like a month ago but the original sketches were from 1-2 years ago. Thylacines are really goofy looking, basically Kangaroos but with dog configuration.

Hi!!! I baguely remember a photo of a thylacine with a joey poking out of the pouch and it stuck with me a lot because it surprised me to learn their pouch opened backwards, but I can't for the live of me to find it. Do you perhaps have it around? Thank you!!

Hello! Thank you for the ask!

I have a few ideas what the photo you are looking for might be.

First is the Buckland and Springbay mother and pups photo. This was a taxidermy that was later destroyed, however portrays a joey emerging from the pouch:

Next is the family group from the Washington zoo:

(portrait done by Joseph M Gleeson of the Washington zoo family)

This was a mother and 3 Joey's that were brought into the national zoo in Washington DC. The Joey in the pouch ended up passing away in September unfortunately.

Beaumaris zoo group:

This was a mama with an extended pouch from four Joeys. In the film where the keepers are getting them into the den for the night her pouch is easily seen moving as she walks.

Lastly pictographs:

These are a collection of pictographs from around mainland Australia that depict Thylacinus Cynocephalus. Note the two middle on the left that have an extra tail, showcasing young in the pouch.

This doesn't show the pouch but it's one of my favorites.

If none of these are it and you have more ideas on what the picture may be let me know! Send as many asks as you'd like! As far as I know I'm aware of all or at least the majority of thylacine media.

I spend a lot of time in archives *sob*
