The long-lost remains of the last known Tasmanian tiger have been found in a cupboard

The skeleton and skin of what is believed to be the last Tasmanian tiger have been stashed away in a cupboard at a museum in Tasmania, where experts lost track of the bizarre looking creature.

"Have you seen any others like my friend?" the little quoll asked the birds. The clearing filled with concerned chatter and sideways glances. They had not.

As a child, I used to regularly check out a VHS from the library called "Wild Australia" which featured archival footage of the now extinct thylacine (commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf). I was moved by the loneliness of a pacing striped creature with sorrowful eyes, the last known member of its kind, preserved in the zoo with no hope of its species' survival.

Just the line art today, I drew the articulated skeleton of the Tasmanian tiger. The last of his kind, Benjamin the Tasmanian tiger was what is called an "endling." You can also call such individuals whose death mark extinction for their kind as enders. The third word by which any single animal who was in it's lifetime the last of it's kind is terminarch. The prompt today is kind, and so in the spirit of kindness to myself I had a nap while still making time to get the line art out of the skeleton to remember Benjamin, the last of his "kind." Here is my unfinished piece titled "The Terminarch" - Day 13: Kind from the official Inktober Prompt List.
