LEGACY of THE LAST, OFFICIAL NFSA footage, BENJAMIN'S DEATH, BEAUMARIS Zoo, THREATENED SPECIES Day

The story of the last surviving Tasmanian tiger at Hobart Zoo is a sad one, as the poor creature has endured unbearable conditions. He was also exposed to the public eye and many cameras. Most of the most famous images and photographs of the Tasmanian tiger were taken during this time. After the death of the last Tasmanian tiger, later named Benjamin, the authorities decided to declare a National Threatened Species Day on 7 September to highlight the importance of native animals and plants that are unfortunately struggling to survive. #National Film and Sound Archive of Australia #Sidney Cook #Ben Sheppard #Tasmanian government #Canberra Institute of Anatomy #Fleay's famous 1933 film #Samuel François-Steininger #colourised version If you want to know even more about the Tasmanian tiger, check out the other videos on the channel.    • The TRUE Story of the TASMANIAN TIGER...   PLEASE don't miss out – SUBSCRIBE to my channel today!
