It’s very sad to imagine that this animal is no more on this earth. It was beautiful.

It's a marsupial, so this is it's threat yawn, similar to how an opossum will yawn at you when frightened.

I love thylacines. Such goofy looking but totally rad creatures. We've done so so much damage...

There are accounts in Tasmania of seeing thylacines still. I choose to believe that's real and it's not just a Bigfoot kind of thing.

I just want to give him back scritches. I bet his stripes feel different than the non-stripes. I bet he could gnaw on my arm a bit too
