| A thylacine
illustration, with drawings of the species's dentition, by the artist Fournier.
It appears on plate 49 of Georges Cuvier's 1836 edition of "Le Règne
Animal" (Animal Kingdom). Note the extended genitalia; as with
a number of other early natural history illustrations of the thylacine,
a taxidermied specimen was used for reference. Also depicted on the
plate are the Long-nosed bandicoot (Perameles nasuta) and Eastern
quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus). |
