| This is the
earliest thylacine film known to exist. It was taken in September
1912 by a Mr. Williams at the Beaumaris Zoo (the name of which was later
changed to the Hobart Zoo when it was moved to the Domain site).
It depicts a thylacine feeding on a cut of meat, watched through the enclosure
fence by both its keeper and another individual which many believe to be
Mrs. Mary Grant Roberts, the owner of the zoo. At the beginning of
the sequence, a woman in a long black dress of the type that Mrs. Roberts
was known to have worn is visible to the far left.
