Happy New Years! Here's this lil edit

some more images of the thylacine you have probably never seen before

Vanished Species, written by David Day, published in 1989. Illustration by Maurice Wilson.

In these pictures, the Swedish Museum of Natural History’s exquisite adult female thylacine wet specimen has been removed from her jar for a 3D scan. Dr. Justin Williams used an Artec Space Spider scanner to image this specimen in submillimeter 3D.

Dr. Williams and his team scanned thylacine specimens from a total of 18 institutions for their research project, which aimed to determine the true size of the thylacine. Their publication is titled: “Did the thylacine violate the costs of carnivory? Body mass and sexual dimorphism of an iconic Australian marsupial.” [x]

I went to the natural history museum at Harvard a few weeks ago, saw a Tasmanian Tiger in person for the first time, cried about it, and then proceeded to take photos of it from every angle possible as I stared longingly at it for many many minutes.

Uh oh sisters! It's Sad o'clock because I saw a thylacine at a museum again!
