tasmanian tiger (re-colorized)
The Tasmanian Tiger, Thylacinus cynocephalus, has been extinct since the 1930s. Video footage from 1933 showing the last living individual in captivity was recently colorized digitially with the help of artificial intelligence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gt0X-27GXM). It shows the shy and nocturnal animal in a small enclosure at the Beaumaris Zoo in Hobart. Three paintings/collages re-imagine the re-colorized Tasmanian Tiger in different settings.
