My Boy Screaming At God.

Everytime I see this I exhale deeply XD

It's Sept 7th, which means that Benjamin gets to be dead, his favorite activity

Dobsegna: in some parts of Papua New Guinea

I've also heard moonlight wolf (hence the blog name lol) that's uncommonly used.

What’s in a name?

Just for fun, I thought I’d compile a list of names for the thylacine in various languages.

I really enjoyed wolf walkers and now it's one of my favorite movies!

Me and the dog, we die together!

This thylacine footage was recently rediscovered by researchers Gareth Linnard, Branden Holmes and Mike Williams on March 4, 2020.

Originally filmed by the Bester family c. 1933-1936, the 9.5mm black and white film includes 7 seconds of a captive thylacine in its enclosure at the Beaumaris Zoo.

Such a rare and amazing find!

This photo, thought to be from the 1880s/1890s, is one of the earliest to show a thylacine. In it, a mother is posed at rest, curled around her joeys, one of which is nestled in her pouch. This taxidermy set represents the only known mount of a mother thylacine and her young, and despite its pricelessness, was supposedly destroyed in 1935. [ x ]

This mummified thylacine was discovered in a cave on the Nullarbor Plain of southern Australia in 1966. It is estimated to be between 4,000-5,000 years old.

The mummy is now displayed in the Western Australian Museum in the same position it was found. Photo via Rob Davis on Twitter.
