A “fox head” that was reportedly bought for about £50 at a market later sells for roughly £60,000 after identification as an extinct animal part, according to reporting. The item was initially believed to be a Victorian-era decorative fox head.
The Daily Mail says experts reassess the piece and label it as the world’s only surviving head of the extinct Tasmanian tiger (also known as the thylacine). In this account, the reassessment transforms the item’s provenance and value, reframing it from a common collectible to a rare zoological artifact.
While the outlet focuses on the dramatic price increase and the uniqueness claim, the available coverage is limited to this single source. It does not provide additional competing expert opinions, auction details, or documentation in the supplied text.
