Pyrenean Ibex: The Animal That Went Extinct Twice

Показать описание

Holocene Extinction Episode 5: The Pyrenean Ibex

The Bucardo or formally known as the Pyrenean ibex, was pushed to extinction by trophy hunters who hunted the ibex for their iconic, long, curved horns and the introduction of human livestock, which competed with the ibex for grazing area. Three years after the Ibex went extinct, however, the last individual of the species was resurrected through cloning, making the Pyrenean Ibex the first animal to have been made un-extinct by humans. Shortly after birth unfortunately, the clone died and the Pyrenean ibex became extinct for the second time.

I can’t imagine the disappointment on their faces when the clone died.

your holocene extinction series is great
since you're covering influential animal extinctions, I think the next entry should be the golden toad, how it was discovered then shortly after it mysteriously went extinct

both fascinating and tragic that an animal that was extinct became unextinct but only for 7 minutes

The saddest part that little people even know about it! No of my biology school books (in elementary school, middle school and high school) even once mentioned this! Every time people talk about cloning extincy animal, they do it in context of dinosuars and mammoths - they are completely unwarae that it happened with recently extinct animal. Whole world knows name of Dolly, almost none knew Celia, despite her species was the only one de-extinct.
