Essex man spends £60k on extinct tiger head

Available for over a year

A man from Essex has revealed why he spent £60,0000 on what was originally believed to be an antique taxidermied fox head. It was first bought for just £50 at an antiques market before it was later discovered to be a rare thylacine, a creature sometimes referred to as a Tasmanian Tiger, most of which died out around 2,000 years ago.
