I received an unexpected gift from my sister, who also has a skull collection but isn’t really into it like I am. This took up too much of her space, and now it will take up too much of mine.
Preserved head of a female thylacine at Oxford University Museum of Natural History and a photo of the same animal when she was alive. This individual was captured in 1925 and sold to Beaumaris Zoo in Hobart, before being transferred to London Zoo in 1926. She died on the 9th of August, 1931. She was the last living thylacine to be exhibited outside of Australia.
The goat will probably go on the wall or a shelf eventually, but here’s my dead corner for now! I clearly need more skulls, 43 doesn’t look like a lot…
The background is a collage of animal illustrations and diagrams.
