Originally filmed by the Bester family c. 1933-1936, the 9.5mm black and white film includes 7 seconds of a captive thylacine in its enclosure at the Beaumaris Zoo.

Such a rare and amazing find!

These sketches were drawn by Owen Burnham of a globster known as Gambo. The 15 year old measured the strange creature on June 12, 1983, when he found it on a beach in Islamic Republic of The Gambia. It measured to be “15 - 16 feet long”. While some believed the creature to be a dolphin, it had two nostrils at the tip of its snout, which dolphins do not. The body was not DNA tested as Burnham claims he did not think to take samples until he realized he could not identify the creature in any books.
