Rothchild Thylacine 2by ~t-subgenius

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Wild Animals

Rothchild Museum of Natural History. Tring, England
Its the largest natural history collection assembled by a single human. The number of taxidermies, the selection, & the quality of them are amazing. If you are in England, & you enjoy natural history museums, you MUST go to Tring!

Anyway, I went mostly for the thylacine. (Many thanks to Thylobscene for letting me know about this museum.) The museum has both a skin & a skeleton on display. Both are in excellent quality & well done.

Standard side shot with a bit of the thylacine skeleton in the shot. Stripes arent faded at all, & it has an excellent fur color.\

it is a beautiful animal, isn't it? i visied this little guy regularly when i lived in tring. when we moved last year i decided the museum would be what i miss the most D= better here though, tring was full of chavs.
^^ lovely photos. you got the little sweet marsupial mole in too.

i did my work experience at this museum, stuffed parrots, they're now in the leeds museum. it was awesome

Really? Awesome!
I went there only once and was VERY impressed. There were so many taxidermies I had never even seen photos of before... Well worth the trip and I wish I lived in England so I could have spent more time there. I spent 6 hours there and could have spent 3 times that with little trouble.

I really have found marsupials to be facinating animals. Tring has the best collection of them I have seen so far, and all of them were in far better condition than the rest I have seen.

marsupials are interestying, but i always loved the monotreme section, and the 'freaks', the animals that were strangely coloured, and hybrids. and the beautiful tropical birds... man, it's so hard to pick favourites when just about everything nature turns up is amazing. behind the scenes, there are some brilliant bird specimins, ducks with extra legs and double beaked chickens and stuff. and yeah, england has some nice museums, if you can stand the weather XD
^^ next time i go i'll take pictures of everything. do you remember if there was an auk? i never thought to look...

Great pic! Most books I have on this species only have black and white photo. It is nice the see one in color.

Thanks!

gah I cant get over how well this was done. Thanks for sharing the photos.

~t-subgenius Nov 11, 2006

No problem. I post all the pictures I can, not everyone is as lucky as I am in seeing these. It just seems a waste to take the pictures & not share them.
