I can guarantee these are real thylacines.

I do not think the recent photos that just came out are real :/ sorry yall.

These are stills from a 1928 Beaurmis zoo film by James Malley.

Thylacine art on an Australian stamp first day cover from 1962.

The body of Wilf Batty’s thylacine, stiff with rigor mortis, tied to a fence on the man’s farm. Mr. Batty shot the animal, believed to be a male, in May of 1930, after it had reportedly been going after his chickens. It’s commonly believed that this represents the last thylacine to be killed in the wild. The photo itself, one of just five known to exist of the individual, was uncovered and shared by the great grandson of the original photographer. [ x ]
