Happy First Anniversary To @extinctionstories! When I Set Up This Blog Last May, I Was Mostly Hoping

I went to the natural history museum at Harvard a few weeks ago, saw a Tasmanian Tiger in person for the first time, cried about it, and then proceeded to take photos of it from every angle possible as I stared longingly at it for many many minutes.

The tiny skull of a thylacine joey, part of the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Prior to her premature death, this individual lived alongside her mother and two siblings at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park. [ x ]

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 😭

THEY FOUND BENJAMIN’S REMAINS!?!?!??!?!?

Lonely Benjamin
