Fantastic afternoon at Jack Ashby's talk on depictions of #thylacines . The one below is the first and last western depiction of a live thylacine in the wild. Jack Ashby
Possibly the most intriguing western painting of a #thylacine I've come across. Today at 2pm (UK time), I'll be giving a free online The Linnean Society of London talk about this artwork, and how depictions of #thylacine s contributed to their #extinction .

THIS IS TOMORROW! Log in for a chat about how depictions of the #thylacine were improtant in our relationship with them, as European settlers deliberately drove them to #extinction .
Name a mammal that's more perfectly spherical than a young wombat. I'll wait.
