Two recently identified photographs of living Nullarbor barred bandicoot (Perameles papillon, Travoullion and Phillips 2018) prior to extinction.
Abstract
Two photographs of living Nullarbor barred bandicoots, Perameles papillon (Travouillon and Phillips 2018) have been identified in the collections of the Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology at the University of Melbourne. The photographs are of captive animals photographed in the 1920s at the University of Adelaide by anatomist Frederic Wood Jones. In addition to one glass slide held by the South Australian Museum archives, these are the only documented photographs known to exist of P. papillon as a living animal, prior to the species’ extinction in the early 20th century.
