I'm trying to make a sort of bridge between the scientific knowledge of thylacines and people who want the information in less technical terms, and I want suggestions.
I'd like suggestions on certain individual thylacines, thylacine related artifact, possibly book reviews (I already have some), also I'll read a scientific paper and basically report the important information. I'm not bad at translating from technical researcher writing to something more understandable and approachable.
in these videos I try to take the history of one individual thylacine or artifact and do a deep dive. I relate what we know about the it to the time period, and what we know about the thylacine species from an individual or object. I'm basically making the videos I've wanted to find and haven't been able to. I'm trying to make the history of the species that everyone on this subreddit is so fascinated by (me too! me too!) make more sense in an understandable and hopefully interesting way.
Whenever possible, I track down original sources (some are online now). I also use papers and books by researchers as sources. Less trusted sources aren't used or are clearly stated. I don't own any original images, so I try to make clear who does own them. I also list all my sources so you can go down the research rabbit hole if that's your interest.
I'm currently working on a couple Halloween inspired episodes like the Nullarbor Plane thylacine mummy and a comparison between a replica thylacine skull and a real canine skull (it might be a coyote).
I like to alternate covering individuals we don't know much about with one's we have more information on. This gives me enough time to research each episodes properly.
I'm holding off on doing the last male thylacine, the last zoo thylacine (female), and the Tyenna male (most photographed thylacine) because those need extra research to do them justice.
So, back to the main question: any suggestions??? What individual thylacine or artifact are you most interested in?
