Tasmanian tigers are among the largest carnivorous marsupials known to science.
The recently rediscovered footage is significant given that it is one of less than a dozen surviving films featuring images of Tasmanian tigers, all of which were captured either at Beaumaris or London Zoo in the U.K. In total, these clips amount to just over three minutes of silent, black-and-white footage.
Before the rediscovery of the latest clip, the most recent known footage of Benjamin was dated to 1933. Nevertheless, it survived on the island of Tasmania—which lies around 150 miles south of the mainland—into the 20th century. Its decline on the island is largely thought to be the result of persecution by humans who considered it a pest and also introduced dogs.John Carnemolla/Corbis via Getty Images
