EXTINCT ANIMALS, FISHES & BIRDS
Bramble Cay Melomys
These little guys were officially declared extinct by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2015. Native to Bramble Cay, a small island near the northern side of the Great Barrier Reef, it’s reported that the rodents haven’t been spotted since way back in 2009. “Significantly, this probably represents the first recorded mammalian extinction due to anthropogenic climate change,” the Queensland state government said.

Yangtze River Dolphin
Also known as “baiji,” the Yangtze River dolphin was last seen in 2002. Four years later, a group of researchers traversed 2,000 miles along the Yangtze River to see if they could find one but to no avail. According to the Whale and Dolphin Conservation group (WDC), the baiji is the first dolphin species to become extinct due to humans.

The Northern White Rhinoceros
The last two living northern white rhinos in existence happen to both be female as the last male died in March of 2018. Sudan, the 45-year-old male, was under armed guard at Kenya’s Ol Pejeta Conservancy when he passed away from old age and an infection.

The Spix Macaw
Thought to be extinct in the wild, the Spix Macaw currently exists in captivity with their numbers in the dismally low 60 to 80 range. The bird is also referred to as “Little Blue Macaw” because they’re known for their vibrant blue feathers.

Passenger Pigeon
Estimates say that the passenger pigeon population numbered in the millions—and possibly billions—when the first Europeans began settling in America. MentalFloss reports that Wisconsin was home to the largest known nesting site in the late 1800s.
EXTINCT ANIMALS, FISHES & BIRDS
Quagga
The Quagga was native to South Africa and went extinct in the late 19th century. For a long time, the quagga was thought to be its own species before it was discovered that it was closely related to the Plains Zebra and was, in fact, a subspecies of the zebra. Quaggas quite literally looked like a mashup between two animals—a zebra in the front thanks to set of characteristic stripes, and a horse in the rear.

Pyrenean Ibex
The Pyrenean Ibex officially went extinct in 2000, before being “resurrected” nearly a decade later in 2009. Scientists used DNA taken from preserved epidermal samples to create a clone of a female Pyrenean Ibex, which was able to make it through gestation and even birth before dying shortly after of lung deformities.

Golden Toad
The golden toad is not the only species to disappear in the past 40 years, but it just might be the brightest.
The small toad was last seen in 1989 in a Costa Rican rainforest before being declared extinct in 1994. It is believed that Chytridiomycosis, a fatal skin disease, decimated this toad population that was already vulnerable thanks to what Science is calling a “limited habitat and small population.”

Zanzibar Leopard
One of several subspecies of leopard, the Zanzibar leopard made its home on the Zanzibar archipelago of Tanzania. It’s still unclear whether this large cat is technically extinct—there are occasional unconfirmed sightings.

Po'ouli
A native of Maui, Hawaii, the Po’ouli, or black-faced honeycreeper, was only discovered in the 1970s. The birds inhabited the southwestern slope of Haleakala volcano. But the population declined rapidly, and by 1997 there were only three known Po’ouli left.

Carolina Parakeet
The Carolina parakeet was the only bird of its kind native to the eastern portion of the U.S. The last Carolina parakeet died at the Cincinnati Zoo in February of 1918 soon after his mate, Lady Jane, passed.

The majestic West African black rhino was declared extinct in 2006, after conservationists failed to find any in their last remaining habitat in Cameroon. The West African black rhino was one of four subspecies of rhinoceros.

Tecopa Pupfish
The Tecopa pupfish, a native of the hot springs of the Mojave Desert, has the distinction of being the first animal declared extinct under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The pupfish’s decline was precipitated when its natural habitat was encroached upon by developers.

Javan Tiger
Similar in appearance to the Sumatran tiger, the Javan tiger was native to the Indonesian island of Java. In the 1800s, they were so common they were considered pests by island natives, but as the island was developed, their population dwindled. By the 1950s, only 20 tigers remained.
