Fascinating study suggests it's very likely that the thylacine, last confirmed to exist in 1936, only truly went extinct late in the 20th century...and there's a small chance a few could be roaming Tasmania's most remote wildernesses even now. 😮

Commission for Dawn of her thylacine OC Drusa!

It was so fun to draw a swimming character! Making her hair look flowy and adding the lighting were my favourite parts ^^

First impression of my new urban #edc #messenger #bag: the #hazard4 kato: looks nice, fits well for me, quality a little bit less than #vanquest or #maxpedition ... some stitches had loose ends and needed to be flamed for example. Added #tasmaniantiger glasses case on the side and 'deluxe strap pad' ...

It all melts down. The thylacine is dremeled into the surface. #thylacine #tasmaniantiger #tasmanianewolf #Beutelwolf #ink #dremel #art #animalart #painting #MastoArt

Today's PaperCuts entry is the Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger), a fascinating marsupial that once roamed the wilds of Tasmania. The Thylacine was a unique and intriguing creature known for its distinctive striped coat #Thylacine #TasmanianTiger #Marsupial

Humanity is triggering extinctions at rates not seen since the Earth’s largest mass extinction event 66 million years ago.

Should we bring Tasmanian Tigers back from the dead?

"We often find flatypuses that are pancake flat. We find fattypuses that are overstuffed, or sometimes the platysausage, which is long and thin and sausage-shaped."

Great article By Zoe Kean , ABC Radio Hobart, with food for thought for museums.

We talked about the confusion experienced by Europeans seeing our Platypus for the first time in Episode 19: The Platypus Controversy.
Very amusing. 😄. Link to listen below if you’re interested.

Interesting thing I found out today: a #thylacine in German is a '#Beutelhund' (pouch dog) — makes a helluva lot more sense than 'Tasmanian tiger' #TassieTiger #TasmanianTiger

Recently, the body of the last known #thylacine was found in a in a cupboard after 85 years lost. In life, this #marsupial was an apex predator that hunted birds and kangaroos by night using its 46 teeth.
4ft long and averaging 55lbs, it's not quite #megafauna, but its story is similar to many animals we cover. Emerging 4 mya--and appearing in aboriginal rock paintings--the #TasmanianTiger dominated its area until a new group of humans (European settlers) arrived and hunted it to extinction.

'The last-known Tasmanian tiger died in Hobart’s Beaumaris zoo on the night of 7 September 1936.
“For years, many museum curators and researchers searched for its remains without success,” Dr Robert Paddle, a researcher said.

“No thylacine material dating from 1936 had been recorded in the zoological collection, and so it was assumed its body had been discarded.”

But recent inquiries by Dr Paddle and TMAG curator of vertebrate zoology, Dr Kathryn Medlock, revealed the last-known thylacine’s remains were at the museum.'
