Two young adult thylacines on the pull-out tray from the cabinet in which they are normally stored.  The one on the right is a female - its pouch was plainly visible.  I am unaware of the sex of the other specimen.

 
A close-up view of the head of the thylacine which is lying face-down in the previous photo.  A truly haunting face from the past; cotton is stuffed into the eye sockets to preserve the shape of the skin around the eyes.
