Mummified Animal Head Turns from 50 Pounds to 50K
It was discovered that the mummified head of an animal initially believed to be a fox actually belongs to the extinct Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger. This rare creature officially went extinct in 1936. An anonymous individual purchased the head for 50 GBP from an antique market in Britain, then later auctioned it in the UK, where it sold for 50,000 GBP—double the purchase price—with expectations of high bidding. Complete and mummified specimens of the Thylacine are very rare outside of museums, which has generated significant interest from scientists and collectors of rare artifacts. This highlights the importance of this discovery as one of the most notable items sold in recent years.
