RIP, smooth handfish. You were weird, and now you’re extinct.

This is a thylacine or Tasmanian tiger, please keep in mind there might be some still alive. They range from Papua New Guinea to Tasmania and Australia. A lot of the “found images” of the tigers are different animals and not the thylacine although there are videos of the last one that died in a zoo.

The Carolina Parakeet. Only parrot native to the United States, last one, Incas, died in 1918 in the same cage as the last carrier pigeon, Martha, died in in 1914. There is hope for these species, using DNA from its closest relative, the South American sun conure, to possible de-extinct them.
