The Last Thylacine at the Tasmanian Zoo
The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, popularly known as T-Mag announced that a new last captive thylacine may have been discovered. They say it was a female they received in mid-May 1936, and it lived only a few months. For years, many museum curators and researchers searched for its remains without success. The tanned flat skin and desarticulated skeleton still attached to the five cards created for the Education Collection are now on display in the museum's thylacines gallery.
