- The last footage of the last captive Tasmanian Tiger, now shown for the first time in colour.
In 1935 Brisbane based filmmaker Sidney Cook travelled to Tasmania to shot a travelogue "Tasmania the Wonderland", shown publicly later that year.
In 2020 researchers Branden Holmes, Gareth Linnard and Mike Williams from the Tasmanian Tiger Archives discovered 21 seconds of footage withtin the original 9 minute film of 'Benjamin' the last captive Thylacine.
He died the following year in September 1936 at the Beaumaris Zoo, Hobart, Tasmania.
In 2021 the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia released colourised 1933 footage, which was of much higher quality and colourised by French experts Samuel Francois-Steininger, of Composite Films.
Now in 2022, right here in Tasmania, the final footage of the last tiger in captivity has been colourised using the same painstaking processes used in France and is presented here for the first time.
The original footage has been slowed to create more natural movement, each of the original 503 frames individually enhanced, colourised, recompiled into video and original narration re-applied. This process was conducted over several weeks. While now of much higher quality than the original b/w clip, efforts have been made to ensure the feel of the black and white version have been retained.
On a personal note, this was a labour of love, not a paid project and to have a completed this work as a Tasmanian comes with both a sense of pride, but also sadness of what became of this magnificent marsupial.

People banging on the fence like a small child would do to a fish in a bowl. Disgusting. This animal was imprisoned inside this concrete and metal enclosure with no bedding or ANYTHING UNTIL IT DIED.
If they put it in the wild it would’ve died anyways.. but yeah.. they should’ve treated it better.
@@ExoticXz-t9vIt only would've died in the wild bcuz of the psychos slaughtering them into extinction.
It looks stressed ;(
I would be stressed too if I was the last of my kind. At least the last of my kind that I know about.
@@pizzaman6926well there was one caught in a snare that 3. Years later in 1938
Thank you. Way before my time and no doubt many others who never got to see one in the flesh. Our next generation of kids will soon have nothing to view
Sid Cooke was my great grandfather, he did take the silent footage.
This last thylacine was a female and not named "Benjamin;" it is a myth that has been dispelled.
what is the female thylacine’s name
Source?
Incorrect this animal was a male although it was only later called Benjamin by someone claiming to have worked at the zoo, but probably didn't. Stills of the 1933 film by Fleay's more famous footage showing a scrotal sac of the same animal with its exact coat pattern proving its a male.
It was a rumour (female) started by an author a few years ago with no evidence to back up the claim. In 2023 the same author presented a paper after a newly found pelt was discovered claiming that that animal, a female was in fact the last thylacine. That claim also has no evidence and several thylacine experts did a full study on the last known specimens reaffirming this animal, Benjamin was in fact the last known thylacine.
Woah it was dispelled? By what wizard? I hate comments like yours where you try hard to look or sound professional: This isn't Quora.
@Gatapult Quote from the web site of the National Museum of Australia: "Researchers in 2022 confirmed it was a myth that the last thylacine in Beaumaris Zoo, Hobart, was a male or named Benjamin."

Sidney Cook was not a videographer. There was no such thing as video in his time. He was a filmmaker.
Fair point! I'll amend the notes, there might be a new one soon, so I'll get it right there ;)
Hunters would take this away from us. Keep the secret.
I like the part where people bang on the fence. I love people.
People are just so kind to animals, am I right? 😊💀
Im pretty sure the black and white version of this was shown in the museum and im not even 30 soooo 85 years not being shown publicly is not really accurate .
Tasmanian tigers are such beautiful creatures, it’s a shame of what happened to them, I do hope they are still out there somewhere and in hiding
Soyu tükendi malesef ❤güzel bir hayvan
They are still there, Nobody's gunna say or film a sighting. Drawing crowds is not on the books.
Heart breaking. I do hope rumours might be true, there might be tassie tigers still alive today.
Stressed looks more like distressed what a way to go
Hmmm wonder who branden holmes is?
But real talk bro you did so well Branden you’ve come so far and your playing such a massive role in this as your younger brother ligit couldn’t be more proud of you man :)
Found this on C2C?
Why are people banging on it's cage?
Because people are often very cruel to animals and could care less about their well being
@@VOMITQUEEN People suck
I think to teach it proper grammar; its, not it's.
It looked so stressted :( poor baby
Yea, look at the people banging on the fence, you or I would be stressed too!
