The remains of the last-known thylacine, thought for decades to have been lost, have been rediscovered sitting in a cupboard in a Tasmanian museum. The last-known Tasmanian tiger Benjamin died in Hobart's Beaumaris Zoo on the night of September 7, 1936 and its body was presumed to have been discarded. However, researchers recently realised the remains actually entered the collection of the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) in 1936 - but hadn't been properly catalogued.
