thylacine-dreams:This is a recently acquired thylacine pelt from the National Museum of Australia in Canberra. The relatively small size and remnants of a pouch suggest this was likely a juvenile female. “The fur is soft and the colour is strong, not faded. The pelt is almost complete, with foot bones and associated tissue. These will likely provide potential for osteological and genomic analysis as well as providing potential information for aspects of thylacine natural history such as behaviour, hunting and extinction.” The previously undocumented pelt was purchased from a private collection for $250,000 AUD in 2018.
