Benjamin marked the last time the world would ever see a living Tasmanian tiger,
or thylacine. With Benjamin, we lost untold knowledge about this tan,

It has allowed us to scan all the known Thylacine

resolution without having to dissect or cause damage to the specimen,” he said.
“By examining their bone development, we've been able to illustrate how the

creation of a series of 3D ...
