Biography

lyrics from Deuteronomy 2:10 - The Mountain Goats

" BENJAMIN "

❝ Look hard at my stripes. ❞

The thylacine (/ˈθaɪləsiːn/ THY-lə-seen, or /ˈθaɪləsaɪn/ THY-lə-syne, also /ˈθaɪləsɪn/) (Thylacinus cynocephalus) is an extinct carnivorous marsupial that was native to the Australian mainland and the islands of Tasmania and New Guinea. The last known live animal was captured in 1930 in Tasmania.

❝ There'll be no more after me. ❞

SEPTEMBER 7, 1936

how is it possible to miss something
you've never had in your life?
to mourn for something you never had the opportunity to meet
and never will.
i did not know her
she was gone long before my birth.
but i think about her often
and mourn for what i will never know.

THE ENDLING

The last captive thylacine, lived as an endling (the known last of its species), at Hobart Zoo until its death on the night of September 7, 1936. The animal, a female, was captured by Elias Churchill with a snare trap and was sold to the zoo in May 1936.

After its death the remains of the endling were transferred to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. The remains were not properly recorded by the museum, also because the animal had been illegally caught. They lay undiscovered for decades until a taxidermist record dated from 1936 or 1937 mentioned the animal. This led to a full audit of all thylacine remains at the museum and the endlings successful identification at the end of 2022

FOREVER GONE

In 1968, Frank Darby invented a myth that the endling was called Benjamin. The myth was widely circulated in the media, with wikipedia itself repeating the invention. The thylacine that Darby was referring to was a male at Hobart Zoo. This thylacine features in the last known motion picture footage of a living specimen: 45 seconds of black-and-white footage showing the thylacine in its enclosure in a clip taken in 1933, by naturalist David Fleay.
In 2021, a digitally colourised 80-second clip of Fleay's footage of the thylacine was released by the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, to mark National Threatened Species Day. The digital colourisation process was based on historic primary and secondary descriptions to ensure an accurate colour match.

Official protection of the species by the Tasmanian government was introduced on 10 July 1936, 59 days before the last known specimen died in captivity.
