Some of the rarest of all thylacine specimens are the alcohol preserved pouch young of which 10 specimens were known to exist. In November 2011, a remarkable discovery was made in the zoological collection of Charles University in the Czech Republic of four pouch young at an early stage in their development. These specimens are described for the first time in this paper.
