This is excellent reading. Some of these animals don't get the recognition of the more famous thylacines or passenger pigeons. |

I'd never heard of the Warrah, & find it fascinating due to the remoteness of the location & the questions over its specific taxonomy. And Darwin wrote of it too. Shortly before it met its rather predictable end. |

I think it's sad when it happens now. Back then, it just wasn't a worry or even a way to predict how the hunting or expansion or mankind can effect a species. Now that we are armed with the science and technology, we can take measures to stop this. But still, some countries do not, and it's frustrating. Not to mention mankind is still expanding massively over this planet.
I belive there was a dolphin ? that recently became extinct in China. I found that tragic , and a victim of China's ignorance . |
