Stuffed Fox Sells for SixtyK | Bristol News

An auction in Bristol turned a quirky, googly-eyed stuffed “fox” into a global sensation—turns out it’s the rare preserved head of a thylacine, the extinct Tasmanian Tiger. Bought for just £50 at a market, it sold for £60,000, becoming one of only 101 known taxidermy specimens. The buyer, collector James Cranfield, called it “the find of a lifetime,” vowing to make it available for scientific study. With the last thylacine dying in 1936, every relic is priceless—especially when it was nearly dismissed as a joke.
