thylacine

@Pootle was interested in finding a collective noun for a group of Thylacine. A couple of suggestions have been given, but if you have a better idea we’d love to hear it (comment below if you choose the third option). Extra credit if you can shoehorn some alliteration into your collective noun...

Firsty share the potential thylacine photos that you have,some of the would probably be stills from the films. Also sorry if this post is the wrong forum Im still learning. So for people that don't know there are 117 Thylacine photos and 13 Thylacine films(2 of them are considered lost). 106 of...

So I thought about talking about some thylacine myths,myths that are rather historical myths.With this I mean myths that are historically false but have been pass as a fact. One of these myths is the cause of death of the last captive thylacine aka Benjamin. The most common reason of his death...

A newly colourised version of the Fleay 1933 footage of the Thylacine 'Benjamin' at the Hobart Zoo has been released by the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia. As part of the process, the original nitrate negative was re-scanned in high-definition, so the image is much clearer and...

Sorry for the clickbait title, I'm not talking about claimed "sightings" or looking for proof that the animal is somehow not extinct. I'm asking about seeing the animal alive in zoos in the 1930s. Obviously there were people who were alive in the 1930s and saw a thylacine in a zoo, either...

On this entry of Prehistoric Kingdom Candidates, those crazy Australians and another from Madagascar show their true colours. Description and poll in the comments.

New footage has been released of the Thylacine at Hobart Zoo, believed to have been filmed between 1933-1936. It is only 7 seconds long, but any new footage is a valuable addition

I regularly search around for pictures of the thylacine, and while trying to locate the hide nailed to a tree photo I came across this http://images.library.amnh.org/digital/archive/files/c32068835825445df9bb49b066095913.jpg I've never seen it before, it came up on the images section for...

This came up on the FB page of a chap calling himself Thylacineman, so all the credit to him for uncovering this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAGRCnZ4K10 I've not yet been able to listen to all of it, but so far it's wonderful. She tells of Hobart Zoo using tigers as currency for more...

Personally I am rather sceptical of the claims that thylacines still survive (although, of course, I very much hope that they do) but ZooChatters may be interested in the recent book:- • The Tasmanian Tiger: Extinct or Extant ? (editor:Rebecca Lang) This book, published September 2014...

Hamlyn’s Menagerie Magazine for December 1916 (Vol.2; No.8) includes an article “Interesting Animals at Victoria, British Columbia, Canada” written by James G. French. This article records that on 24th August of that year a large collection of animals arrived from Sydney including:- “two...

I've registered here just to post something I read today. I've lurked on these forums for years, and I think you'll like this. This morning I downloaded the autobiographical book 'Our Zoo' by June Mottershead onto my kindle. It's been released on the back of the TV series. This is a quote...

For those of you that follow Thylacines, four new pouchyoung specimens were recently discovered in a zoological collection in the Charles University of Prague, Czech Republic. This increases the number of known specimens of pouchyoung to 14. Details of the specimens have been published in the...

I was wondering if anybody knows the number of thylacines killed and handed into officials during the 1888-1909 bounty, on a year by year basis. I know that a total of 2184 were killed over the entire period, as well as the numbers for the years 1888, 1908 and 1909.
