Biggest batch of Thylacines my sister and I have ever made! 16, plus one I found in a box that was left over from last year. 17 little jackets, they're all prepared to head out to their new companions all over the world!

All of these have sold already, but if you want to know when I make more the best way is to sign up for notifications on the Thylacine listing over on my website (www.palaeoplushies.com)

I've restocked Thylacines

I'm thinking of making them little "Emotional Support Thylacine" vests for them and sending them out as a little free bonus for this batch cuz I feel like folks might need that right now...

This is just concept art but I think I know what I'm doing tomorrow...

Thylacines available over here: https://www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/thylacine-thylacinus-cynocephalus-h58t4

Note: If people like the jacket idea, all orders placed before I make them will also come with a jacket. Subsequent orders will also have jackets for this batch. I probably won't make them again in future unless people REALLY like them. The jacket design is subject to change from the photo!

eternally sad for thylacines

“The 110-year-old Tasmanian tiger head however was skinned and preserved in ethanol - enabling researchers to piece together most of its DNA sequence and strands of RNA.”

@extinctionstories hit a big milestone today: one THOUSAND followers! 🎉

Thank you SO much for all of the support and interest during this blog’s first year and a half, and for helping me to share the stories of these incredible lost & endangered species! 🦤

In honor of the occasion, here’s a special behind-the-scenes studio peek: the original 11x14” preliminary oil studies for my thylacine diptych When They Are Frightened, They Show Their Teeth:

There's a Banksia woodland nearby where I live. It's almost untouched by humans (no paths, litter, etc, only a few weeds here and there, but not many) and has extremely high biodiversity, characteristic of this ecosystem.

I visited it the other day and sat beneath the glorious, low-lying canopy of Banksia attenuata, and began imagining a thylacine prowling through the bushes looking for bandicoots as they would have done 2000+ years ago here in Noongar country.
