Extinct Animals Lost to History Due to Human Activity

Which animals have gone extinct because of human influence, whether through pollution, hunting, or habitat destruction? We've described some of the most notable losses, from 1000-1200 A.D., when humans first reached new islands, to the most recent extinct animals in the last 10 years! The lone George died without a pair in 2012, and horn clipping led to the disappearance of the western black rhino in 2011. It seems that lately, it is becoming more and more common to see animals go extinct due to human error. Check out photos and drawings of the amazing animals we've lost to recent extinctions, from the quagga to the western black rhino.

They didn't mention the passenger pigeon, extinct in 1914, that lived in North America. Extinction is forever. It is sad beyond words.

[Li]

What’s sad is that the most unique and special animals are often the ones most prone to extinction for being so specialized

[Raptorozaur]

fact: pyrenean ibex extint 2 times, fisrt in 2000, and in 2003 he been cloned, but survived a few minutes.

[PixelatedCreationsOfficial]

if our planet Earth had no humans, those animals couldve been alive today (not all the species, some of them may have gone extinct still), its a shame to see how our actions wiped out those beautiful animals, honestly, im really interested in all of them

[stupido]

don't forget the kauai o'o' :(

Wow I thought the moas went extinct much more recently for some reason. That's amazing they died out so long ago and we still remember them.

[KeoniGetalado]

0:23 thankfully, the Cebu Warty Pig is only endangered

[nathans]

this would have been beer if it was in reverse, it would have shown that "we did not know any better, " to "oh it is still happening today we need to do something about it" this way it shows that "oh humans have been doing this forever there is no point in stopping it now"

[mangomason]

it's so sad that the wild ass was extinct because of us

[sanhdieux]

About Pyrenean Ibex: The found dead of Celia, she crushed by falling tree, later, a hybrid goat birth her clone, she was female, she is survive 7 to 10 minutes.

[BryanJun-fj]

Rip 2016-1200😢 I hope the animal who was extinct enjoy heaven

[CalvesFanatic]

What makes me saddest are the cattle (caucasian wisent, aurochs). I’m totally biased towards them but (for the aurochs), it’d be very interesting to have them around to compare to modern cattle of different types

[tannerking]

The passanger pigeon is a reminder to why there are now hunting seasons and bag limits to help prevent over harvesting and allowing balance the ecosystem

[teelistrill]

Why do I feel that laughing owls became extinct due to insecure people being mad that an owl laughed at them?
