About the Thylacine

The Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus), often referred to as the Tasmanian Tiger, was a large carnivorous marsupial native to Tasmania, Australia, and New Guinea. Declared extinct in the 20th century, the species remains one of the most emblematic examples of recent human-driven extinction.
One of the Thylacine’s most remarkable anatomical traits was its ability to open its jaws to an extreme angle—far wider than most mammals of comparable size. Historical photographs and anatomical studies show the mouth could gape to nearly 120 degrees, a feature thought to be linked to its feeding behavior and cranial structure. This unusual characteristic gives the Thylacine skull a striking and instantly recognizable appearance, dramatically showcased in this open-jaw display.

Exceptional Detail
Dental structures, cranial sutures, nasal openings, and jaw articulation are reproduced with high fidelity, capturing both the delicacy and intensity of the Thylacine’s skull anatomy.

Museum-Grade Mounting
The skull is mounted on a professional transparent rod fixed to a solid round base, allowing the dramatic open-mouth posture to be fully appreciated from multiple angles.
