'The last-known Tasmanian tiger died in Hobart’s Beaumaris zoo on the night of 7 September 1936.
“For years, many museum curators and researchers searched for its remains without success,” Dr Robert Paddle, a researcher said.
“No thylacine material dating from 1936 had been recorded in the zoological collection, and so it was assumed its body had been discarded.”
But recent inquiries by Dr Paddle and TMAG curator of vertebrate zoology, Dr Kathryn Medlock, revealed the last-known thylacine’s remains were at the museum.'
