Newly rediscovered footage of the last captive thylacine (“Benjamin”) as a juvenile at the Beaumaris Zoo has just been released!
The film is 7 seconds long and was taken by Reverend Harold Doyle in 1930 using a hand-cranked camera and nitrate film.
Though it is not as clear as other films, it is still valuable because it gives us more information about the timeline of the last captive and possibly his origin, which have long been disputed.
A looping version of the film can be seen here: https://www.ntnews.com.au/news/newly-discovered-footage-of-the-thylacine/video/9739dac68568a2d9d758c857a1417ae1

Wait wait!!! The skin doesn't quite match up and we really need more photos of the specimen to match it with Benjamin!
The article is confusing I'll admit 😭
