Caspian Tiger The Caspian tiger (Panthera tigris virgata) was among the world’s largest big cats until it went extinct during the 1960s. It was once present throughout Turkey and much of Central Asia, including Iran, Iraq, and parts of northwestern China, according to Science Alert. 8. Dodo Bird Native to the island of Mauritius, the dodo (Raphus cucullatus) was a large, flightless bird that grew up to three feet (1 meter) tall and weighed as much as 40 pounds (18 kg). It went extinct during the 1600s, following the arrival of humans and their non-native animal friends such as dogs, cats, and rats. 7. Woolly Mammoth The last surviving population of woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) died out around 4,000 years ago on Wrangel Island off Siberia after centuries of inbreeding. By the time they went extinct, the creatures were sickly, weak, neurologically damaged, and far less fertile than they were during their heyday. 6. STELLER’S SEA COW As a sirenian, the Steller’s sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas) was most closely related to the dugong and manatees. Scientist Georg Wilhelm Steller first described it in 1741 during a voyage across the Bering Sea. While stranded on an island, Steller and his crew encountered colonies of these sea cows, who measured up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) long and weighed as much as six tons (5.4 metric tons) each. 5. Labrador Duck The Labrador duck (Camptorhynchus labradorius) is believed to have become extinct during the late 19th century due to suspected human-related causes, despite its reputation for not tasting very good. The bird was already rare when European settlers arrived in North America; the last specimens were collected during the 1870s, and the last known sighting occurred in 1878 in Elmira, New York. 4. WOOLLY RHINOCEROS Woolly rhinos (Coelodonta antiquitatis) lived during the same Ice Age period as woolly mammoths, yet their remains are much rarer. Scientists also know far less about them, including their placement on the evolutionary timeline and information about their lifestyles and habits. 3. Irish Elk The Irish elk (Megaloceros giganteus) was one of the largest deer species that ever existed, with antlers measuring as much as 12 feet (3.7 meters) across. It roamed throughout Eurasia mostly during the Pleistocene, with the most recent known remains of the creature dating back to around 7,700 years ago. 2. MOA The idea of using “Jurassic Park” technology to revive extinct species has become increasingly realistic in recent years, especially when it comes to bringing back ancient birds. An extinct flightless bird endemic to New Zealand called the little bush moa (Anomalopteryx) is among the top candidates for revival. 1. Pyrenean Ibex The bucardo, or Pyrenean ibex (Capra pyrenaica pyrenaica), was a subspecies of Spanish ibex that was formally declared extinct in the year 2000, when the last known surviving female was found dead in Spain. The animal’s demise came after a 200-year period of increased hunting in the region, and scientists’ interest in reviving it came almost immediately following its extinction. #extinctanimals #jurassicpark #bringbacktolife #originsexplained
