#OTD 82 years ago, the last known #thylacine died in captivity in Hobart. To mark this sad day we wanted to share these beautiful images from John Gould's 'Mammals of Australia' vol. 1 (c.1845-63) #ThreatenedSpeciesDay

It's finally #SwiftAwarenessWeek! We've been saving this picture especially for today, but have been itching to share it after seeing @BBCSpringwatch. The image is taken from Gould's 'Birds of Great Britain', 1873. #Springwatch

Happy #BatAppreciationDay everyone 🦇 here are just a couple of our favourites from the Samuel Richard Tickell manuscripts (c1854-64). We'll Tweet a few more #bats later, but in the meantime, you can find more on our catalogue https://t.co/qm7In9sjfj by searching for ART10000588

The #EasterWeekend is almost upon us, so we're continuing our theme of #eggs with this trio. This image is taken from 'Ova avium plurimarum...', by JT Klein, 1766, and contains some of the earliest known coloured illustrations of eggs. #HappyEaster

Today is #WorldFrogDay 🐸 and the two images that immediately sprang to mind are both from Mark Catesby's wonderful "The natural history of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands..." c1731-43 #sciart (FYI it's also Catesby's birthday this week!)

#DYK it's not too late to get involved in @zsllondonzoo's project to transform the iconic Snowdon Aviary into the perfect new home for our colobus monkeys? https://t.co/E5OPgyjEUw This incredible image is from ZSL's 1885 Proceedings, and is by J. Smit.

To celebrate the birth of @zsllondonzoo's two-toed sloth we wanted to share this beautiful original water colour by Keulemans with you. It went on to be published in the 1872 'Proceedings' of ZSL with the caption "1 Cholopus Hoffmanni 2 C. Didactylus"

Happy #TamanduaDay! Ann (ZSL's Librarian) came across this image by Charles Hamilton Smith a few weeks ago and we've been saving it especially to share with you today!

Today's #explorearchives theme is #hairyarchives

This Black and White Colobus monkey has some amazing hair!

James has just finished photographing volume 1 of Gould's 'Birds of Asia', and the images are just incredible! It was very difficult choosing just a couple to share with you, so expect a few more later...
