The central continent of my worldbuilding world is dominated by marsupials and monotremes, and birds. There are several species of thylacine, and one — which is essentially our Thylacinus cynocephalus — is domesticated.
They are a recent domestication, with about 250 generations having passed. Compared to the wild ancestors, they have similar builds, but with more colours, variation in size, and longer lifespans (12-20 years). They have lost their natural reclusive nature and though shy, are friendly and inquisitive and trainable to a point. Most prefer to be solitary or tolerate the presence of 1-2 others, though get along well with other calm-tempered species. Their prey drive is greatly reduced but many suffer anxiety in loud or busy environments.
Lil update: If you would like fancy thylacines to put places, I turned this into a poster/prints, and there's also a sticker <3
It's #PortfolioDay again!!! Hello there, and welcome to my Tumblr gallery!
I'm a palaeoartist who specialises with pterosaurs and maniraptorans, but i also draw other kinds of dinosaurs, marine reptiles, ammonites, mammals, and fish! I also on occasion make skeletals.
