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.

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 .

Sidney Cook was not a videographer. There was no such thing as video in his time. He was a filmmaker.

This last thylacine was a female and not named "Benjamin;" it is a myth that has been dispelled.

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.
