EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the last remnants of a once-thriving species, the Tasmanian Tiger or Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus), on display in an Australian garden during the early 1910s. The Tasmanian Tiger, with its distinctive striped back and rakish head, was a native Australian marsupial and the largest known carnivorous marsupial. Sadly, this magnificent creature is believed to be extinct, with the last confirmed sighting reported in 1936. The Tasmanian Tiger's extinction is a significant loss to the world's biosphere, as it was a unique and fascinating part of Australia's rich wildlife heritage. This photograph provides a poignant reminder of the animal's existence and the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations. The Tasmanian Tiger in this photograph appears to be preserved through taxidermy, a technique used to preserve animals by replacing their skin with a taxidermy mount. The animal's stripes are still vivid, and its posture suggests a sense of alertness and vitality, despite its unfortunate fate. The garden setting adds a sense of tranquility and beauty to the image, yet the presence of the Tasmanian Tiger serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of the natural world and the importance of conservation efforts. This photograph is a historical artifact that transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and a poignant reminder of the wonders of the natural world that we must strive to protect.
