Killing 10 of the last 14 while trying to capture them, might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. That’s incompetence on a whole new level.

[Barrwech]

The final picture of the barbary lion makes me feel like the lion is walking alone, calling out to any remaining ones, but no response

[Cahootian]

Imagine being the last animal of you’re species, no mates, no friends and nobody to talk to. Must have been really depressing

[TylerMcNamer]

That last photo of the Barbary Lion is beautiful and depressing at the same time.

[Shizukanexen]

The anger I felt when you mention they found a living population of seals and then KILLED them to send to museum. Sickening.

[andrewmlink]

It’s crazy how unethical zoology used to be. They literally located a small island of near extinct seals JUST to off them and send their bodies to museums.

The lion one is so hauntingly beautiful. Reminds me of that Narnia movie scene. Glad they're not extinct.

Man will become lonely… before he himself becomes extinct

The Carolina parakeet had a behavior of returning to mourn their own dead, so that when one was shot or trapped the whole flock would come to mourn him and make themselves easy to slaughter for their feathers. That's the kind of thing that makes me want to strangle a person. Incredible anger

it genuinely hurts my heart to know how much more colorful and diverse our world used to look not even that long ago. Even animals we do have today used to be more wide spread. its a damn shame

[quintonnarcisse]

This is my first time ever seeing the photo of the Toolache wallaby. Such a beautiful animal lost to oblivion.

Back when i was still young i used to chase butterflies and then at night i love the sight of fireflies. Now i rarely see a butterfly, same with fireflies, what happened to this beautiful world. We don't deserve this beautiful world.

[MezzoForte]

That Barbary Lion photo is so haunting and heartbreaking. Composition-wise, it's breathtaking. I'm SO SO glad they're not truly extinct, I find them so beautiful.

The last picture of a human would probably be a selfie.

[James-gpuf]

All man has to do to preserve wildlife is leave it alone.

I was about to cry when i saw that picture of barbary Lion in the Desert😢

While working in 6 African countries, along 14 years, for conservation, local hunters never understood the concept of extinction, when they saw density of a species decreasing to local extinction from overhunting, they always said that the animals had simply moved further. I'm sure this is the way we have been wiping out species from the Pleistocene all around the world.

I learned never to tell people that you spotted any animal when I was a child. It wasn't rare, but i spotted a fairly young road runner when I was 8. I told my friend and eventually more kids gathered and started throwing rocks at it. Luckly, it was small enough to escape through the fence. I never shared any of my animal sightings with anyone after that day.

Lets hope some extinct species are still out there, but i would be afraid to tell anyone.

My herpatology professor at one point worked in the lab of the guy who discovered golden toads. Acording to her he had big jars of ethanol containing hundreds of specimens of the things.
