Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) uploaded on September 6th the last-obtained footage of the long-extinct thylacine, perhaps better known as the Tasmanian tiger. The footage was recorded by Australian naturalist David Fleay nearly 90 years ago, in December 1933. Fleay stored the footage in 35-millimeter film.
