Short-faced bear skeleton, it is an extinct bear that inhabited North America. It was considered to be one of the largest known terrestrial mammalian carnivores that has ever existed.
Sid may not be real and therefore the term 'extinct' is not applicable, but he was fun to draw and who could resist that toothy grin?

Classic plastic at the Bijou Planks. Amid the rocks and fauna and flora of the dinosaur age, there were often sudden encounters...
bump!
grrr!!!
RRAARR!!
"Oh! Stu! You surprised me! I didn't know you were in there."
"You surprised me too little buddy! That's a mean 'grrr' you got!"
"Haha! Well, I practice down at the water hole. Your 'raar' almost scared me out of my skin!"
"Hey, we keep scaring each other like this, we're gonna die of heart attacks."
"Yeah, wouldn't that be something if it made us go extinct?"
"Hey, whattaya call a stegosaurus that takes a bath?"
"Hm, what?"
"Ex-stink! HAHA!"
"HAHAHA!"

This butterfly is one of Europe's rarest and is local and declining across its European range. It has become extinct in several countries and is now evaluated as endangered in Europe. Its caterpillars feed on Bistort in central Europe and Viviparous Bistort in the north. We saw two males on a roadside verge in Swedish Lapland but I could not see any Bistort of either species. The two males frequently interacted, chasing each other around, but also settled to bask frequently. They usually rested with wings at an angle but this one was being buffeted by a breeze and I managed to capture the split second that the wings had blown wider apart.
Below is a female I photographed in Poland a couple of years ago.
"Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh. It sits high on volcanic rock more than 250 ft. above the city. In fact its' impressive rocky foundation is actually a 70 million year old extinct volcano! Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age.
Sadly the lesser spotted home leopard is now all but extinct.
Due a genetic disorder the reproduction of the species is very difficult indeed. research has discovered that they do respond well to changing their distinctive coverings with softer more floral materials along with luxurious under garments.
To help save this majestic creature you could sponsor a home leopard for as little as a pretty dress. this will keep a home leopard in a way she has become accustomed to for at least a month.
Fancy expensive lingerie will allow you to adopt your very own home leopard. you will receive monthly updates on how she is doing with photographs of her in public mixing with other species and who knows maybe she find another of her kind.
Extinct in the wild. Lifespan: 40years. Height:5.5-6.5ft.(1.7-2m). Weight 660-1520 lbs. (300-690kg.) Habitat:dry desert areas.
A truly rare/extinct method!

CABALLO FÓSIL SUDAMERICANO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cavalo fóssil sulamericano - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Skull of Southamerican extinct Horse ............................
†Equus (Amerhippus) neogeus Lund, 1840
Orden: Perissodactyla (Perisodáctilos) ... Familia: Equidae (Équidos = Equinos)
Ejemplar que vivió en la formación Pampeana del pleistoceno de la
provincia de Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA.
Esta especie evolucionó en el sur de sudamérica, de equinos que formaron parte del último grupo de mamíferos invasores que ingresaron a la América del Sur, como consecuencia del levantamiento del istmo de Panamá, que generó la conexión entre ambas Américas a través de este "puente panameño", acontecimiento ocurrido aproximadamente unos 3 millones de años antes del presente, y que unió definitivamente las faunas de América del Norte con las del Sur.
La especie de la que esta evolucionó ingresa al subcontinente en una etapa posterior a la primera oleada de equinos, de la cual se originó el género Hippidion.
Otra rama migra desde Norteamérica rumbo a Eurasia, de la cual más tarde descenderá el Caballo doméstico.
A diferencia de Hippidion, Equus migra al neotrópico y al viejo mundo, ya diferenciado como género aparte, hecho acaecido en América del Norte, en el Plioceno.
A las distintas especies fósiles del género Equus halladas en América se las ha agrupado en el subgénero Amerhippus.
Este subgénero se caracteriza por contar con una mandíbula robusta, miembros monodáctilos relativamente cortos y macizos, cráneo con cresta supraoccipital ancha, y una flexión craneal acusada.
Los dientes superiores muestran protocono triangular y más largo en el extremo distal que en el sector mesial, y con plegamiento interno en algunos casos.
Las fosetas anteriores y posteriores no están muy desarrolladas.
A diferencia de Hippidium, eran caballos bastante grandes.
Un gran número de sus restos se hallaron en sitios arqueológicos, y se corroboró su utilización como fuente de alimento, aunque este caballo primitivo no llegó a ser domesticado por los aborígenes.
Los aborígenes amerindios convivieron con los équidos durante más 4.000 años, cazándolos tan intensamente que las especies no soportaron semejante presión de captura y terminaron por extinguirse.
Fueron abundantes, especialmente en las pampas y otros lugares abiertos.
Este subgénero fue colectado en sudamérica desde el norte de Colombia hasta el sur de la provincia de Buenos Aires y el norte de la patagonia.
La primera aparición del género en el registro fósil corresponde probablemente a la edad Mamífero Ensenadense de Tarija Bolivia (Pleistoceno temprano), y se extiende hasta el Lujanense tardío de Buenos Aires.
Dentro de él se han descripto varias especies bien definidas, con clara diferenciación geográfica y adaptativa.
En América del Sur: el género Equus estubo representado por cinco especies:
--- Equus (Amerhippus) andium Branco, 1883, ex A. Wagner, 1860
Era más pequeño, y estaba restringido al corredor interandino en los Andes ecuatorianos durante el Pleistoceno tardío, formación Cancagua; y posiblemente también en la sabana colombiana.
--- Equus (Amerhippus) santaelenae (Spillman, 1938)
Era mayor que el anterior, y se lo encontraba en las llanuras costeras de la península de Santa Elena, Ecuador, durante el Pleistoceno tardío, formación Pichilingue.
--- Equus (Amerhippus) insulatus C. Ameghino, 1904
Esta especie mediana vivió en la actual zona boliviana de Tarija durante el Pleistoceno Medio; posiblemente también en el Río Chiche del altiplano ecuatoriano (según restos encontrados); y en el extremo norte argentino.
--- Equus (Amerhippus) lasallei,
restringido a la sabana de Bogotá, Colombia, durante el Pleistoceno Tardío.
--- Equus (Amerhippus) neogeus Lund, 1840
El cual fue reportado en varias localidades paleontológicas de la región pampeana argentina, en Buenos Aires (Sierras Bayas, Río Luján, Paso Otero, Río Quequén Salado, Arroyo Camet, Arroyo Seco, Tapalqué, Lobería, Bahía Blanca, etc.), Córdoba; en el Uruguay, y en el sudeste del Brasil, durante el Pleistoceno Tardío.
En las proximidades de las Sierras Bayas de Olavarría, se hallaron fósiles de esta especie con una antigüedad de los estratos portadores de una edad de 120 mil años (Formación Esperanza).
Esta última especie es la que ha logrado sobrevivir por más tiempo durante la invasión paleoindia al subcontinente.
En Argentina, sólo ha sido hallado Equus (Amerhippus) neogeus, que es la especie de mayor tamaño y gracilidad del género y la más parecida al caballo criollo local, aunque con teórica progenie europea...
Su cráneo es grande, y presenta la región preorbital y nasal ensanchadas.
Su distribución estratigráfica está restringida al Lujanense.
Las edades geológicas Ensenadense y Lujanense, junto a la Bonaerense, corresponden a las 3 etapas de la época del Pleistoceno, de la siguiente manera:
1.Pleistoceno Inferior (Ensenadense): 1.8 millones de años a 500 mil años A.P
2.Pleistoceno Medio (Bonaerense): 500 mil años - 130 mil años A.P.
3.Pleistoceno Superior (Lujanense): 130 mil años - 10 mil años A.P.
A.P.: Antes del Presente
Fósiles recientemente encontrados en la zona del Bajo del Tala, cercana a la ciudad bonaerense de San Pedro tienen 500 mil años, lo cual indicaría que no sería la única especie de Equus que habitó en la Argentina, sino que habría existido una especie predecesora que llegó antes de lo que se pensaba, y que podría corresponder con alguna de las otras que habitaron Sudamérica, o una especie aún no descripta todavía.

Hurricane, Utah is the site of several volcano craters. Most of the craters have filled back in with sand, but this one is amazing. It is about 200 yards in diameter and about 100 feet in depth. You can walk right down to the bottom of the crater. Ejected boulders cover the sides of the dome.

Did I just upload yet another ancient moc? Yes. Yes I did. This is the now-extinct Tahitian Rail in near 1:1 scale, built back in 2014 for the fourth round of the MocOlympics against Li Li, who beat me in a 2:1 split.
I will say, editing my terrible pictures from two and a half years back makes for good practice.
Many of the 'photters' on my 2015 FarRail tour to China avoided diesel locomotives like the plague . Not quite extinct yet, but the reality is that the era of steam locomotion in China is almost over with the inevitability that diesels will likely soon replace the few remaining steam trains in operation. In this shot the headlights of a DF5D diesel locomotive illuminate standing SY locomotive, 1359. Shot taken in Fuxin city at 23:15 in sub zero temperatures, North-Western Liaoning Province, People's Republic of China.

The Socorro Dove (Zenaida graysoni) is a dove that is extinct in the wild. It was endemic to Socorro Island, 550 km off the west coast of Mexico. The last confirmed sighting of a wild Socorro dove was in 1972 and it is was officially declared extinct in 1978, following human settlement on the island some 20 years earlier, predation by cats (it is a ground-dwelling bird), and overgrazing of its habitat by sheep.
There are not more than some 200 and probably fewer than 100 purebred birds in captivity.
The Socorro Dove was formerly a subspecies of the Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) in North America. The dove is now officially considered a separate species.
The Socorro Dove is still larger and darker as the Mourning Dove and more heavily built. It is a medium-sized dove, 26.5–34 cm long and weighs 190 g on average.
The Socorro Dove hybridizes readily with the Mourning Dove and a great many of the Socorros in the US, when DNA tested, have been shown to by hybrids. This is not the case with the European-bred birds and it is this stock that will be used for the reintroduction programme.
This picture was taken in Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
De Socorroduif (Zenaida graysoni), ook wel Socorrotreurduif en Graysonduif genoemd, is een duif die in het wild is uitgestorven. Sinds 1972 komt deze vogel niet meer voor op het eiland Socorro in de oostelijke Grote Oceaan, 550 km voor de Mexicaans kust, waar hij endemisch was. Omdat er op het oorspronkelijk onbewoonde eiland geen roofzoogdieren leefden, liet de duif zich gemakkelijk pakken door katten die rond 1950 naar het eiland waren gebracht.
Ook voor mensen is de duif niet echt bang.
Er zijn nog ongeveer 200 exemplaren in gevangenschap, waarvan minder dan 100 nog echt zuiver is. Een programma is opgezet voor herintroductie van de soort op het eiland.
Deze roodbruine duif kan ruim 30 cm lang worden en weegt circa 190 gram. De snavel is kort en slank met een donkere punt.
Het mannetje is wat meer uitgesproken van kleur dan het vrouwtje.
Op het eiland kwam de Socorrotreurduif vooral voor in bosachtig gebied boven de 500 meter. Hij eet zaden, fruit en kleine insecten.
Deze foto is genomen in Burgers Desert, de grote overdekt woestijnhal van Burgers Zoo. De zoo heeft merdere koppels van deze bijna uitgestorven vogel en kweekt er succevol mee.

Jaguars are the largest of South America's big cats. Today significant numbers of jaguars are found only in remote regions of South and Central America—particularly in the Amazon Basin.
These beautiful and powerful beasts were prominent in ancient Native American cultures. In some traditions the Jaguar God of the Night was the formidable lord of the underworld. The name jaguar is derived from the Native American word yaguar, which means "he who kills with one leap."
Unlike many other cats, jaguars do not avoid water; in fact, they are quite good swimmers. Rivers provide prey in the form of fish, turtles, or caimans—small, alligatorlike animals. Jaguars also eat larger animals such as deer, peccaries, capybaras, and tapirs. They sometimes climb trees to prepare an ambush, killing their prey with one powerful bite.
Most jaguars are tan or orange with distinctive black spots, dubbed "rosettes" because they are shaped like roses. Some jaguars are so dark they appear to be spotless, though their markings can be seen on closer inspection.
Jaguars live alone and define territories of many square miles by marking with their waste or clawing trees.
Females have litters of one to four cubs, which are blind and helpless at birth. The mother stays with them and defends them fiercely from any animal that may approach—even their own father. Young jaguars learn to hunt by living with their mothers for two years or more.
Jaguars are persecuted as predators, being viewed as a menace to domestic cattle. They are hunted for sport and for the fur trade. Also, jaguars are threatened by the loss of habitat due to deforestation. Within their range they are regionally extinct in Uruguay and El Salvador and have been eliminated from many of the drier areas of the north.
Journée des panthères des neiges
Salut à tous ! Hé oui, aujourd'hui, le 23 octobre c'est la journée internationale de la protection des panthères des neiges ! Mais d'où vient cette idée d'attribuer une journée spéciale pour une espèce ? Et plus particulièrement une journée pour cette espèce qu'est la panthère des neiges ? En fait l'origine de cette journée des panthères des neiges vient des États-Unis. Il faut dire que les États-Unis travaillent énormément à la préservation de cette espèce menacée d’extinction ! L'occasion de mener une action supplémentaire à celles qui sont aujourd'hui menées pour la sauvegarde de cette espèce ! Et c'est surtout l'occasion de mettre en lumière une espèce précise à protéger !
A propos des panthères des neiges
Les panthères des neiges sont assez faciles à différencier des autres léopards grâce à leurs longue queue épaisse. Hé oui, léopard et panthère c'est la même espèce, ce n'est qu'une question de traduction ! Malheureusement, comme d'ailleurs, beaucoup trop d'autres espèces, la population des panthères des neiges est en baisse depuis des années. C'est une espèce considérée actuellement comme menacée d'extinction de la famille des Felidae. Et comme beaucoup d'espèces en voix d'extinction, je n'ai pu, pour ma part, n'en photographier que dans des parcs animaliers pour l'instant...
En milieu naturel c’est dans les grands déserts froids de la Haute Asie que les panthères des neiges sont les plus présentes.
This WHITE-TAILED KITE was rendered almost extinct in the 1930s and 1940s by shooting and egg-collecting, but they are now again common in California....They are also found in Southern Texas,on the Baja California peninsula, and in eastern Mexico.(Wikipedia)
Images captured in Elkhorn Slough National Reserve and Los Banos Wildlife Area, California respectively.Thanks to Flickr member Mr. Bob Lewis who led me directly to this bird. www.flickr.com/photos/boblewis/
Interesting facts: Avg size is 14 inches(35 cm). This medium sized raptor feeds mainly on rodents.
Yellow-crowned Night Heron
The Yellow-crowned Night Heron (Nyctanassa violacea, formerly placed in the genus Nycticorax), also called the American Night Heron or Squawk, is a fairly small heron. It is found throughout a large part of the Americas, especially (but not exclusively) in warmer coastal regions; an example occurrence is the Petenes mangroves of the Yucatan.
A related heron, the Bermuda night heron, was endemic to Bermuda, but became extinct following human colonisation.

I was driving through rural Nevada and saw this huge watering machine in a field by the side of the road. I never saw anything like this before having lived in and near cities all my life. It looked like a giant insect, and I took the picture and posted a twisted version of it on Flickr some years back. But I was never really satisfied with that one. This is the actual picture except I added the extinct bird's skeletal head that seemed somehow appropriate (to me).
Red Panda munching on Bamboo shoots. The sun was in and out all the time, very hard to get right settings for shot.
Flags, police vans, Nelson's Column, National Gallery, St Martin-in-the-Fields, rain: a traffic-free (for now) Trafalgar Square.
I knew rhino's were big but I was surprised to actually see how big when I saw my first Rhino at Perth Zoo.
I think what surprised me was they not only were big but long as well.
I started reading about their population numbers and I actually can't believe that this beautiful creature is not only threatened but nearly extinct.
Finished work a couple of hours early the other day, and took a stroll across Bruntsfield Links towards the Meadows. Had been grey skies earlier, but sun was starting to break through, and I saw Arthur's Seat in the distance, parts of it getting the light, other parts under cloud shadows, and paused to take some photos, zooming in until I could see some of the people standing on the summit, gazing out over the city (it's a remarkable 360 degree view from up there!)
Another reason I love living in Edinburgh so much - look at this, just look at it. Imagine having such a landscape right in the middle of your city, that you just come across a sight like this as you stroll casually on a path across a park near your work, this huge, extinct volcano rearing up into the sky. Looking at this, you can see why Edinburgh is one of the homes of what became the modern science of Geology. I've lived here decades, and Edinburgh still often just stops me in my tracks to admire her beauty, such a grand, old dame.
If you ever come to visit, this is within a short walk of the Castle and city centre - in fact the ancient royal palace of Holyrood and the modern Scottish Parliament lie right next to it, very easy to reach (not so easy to walk up, it's a steep old stroll!), and at the top you get views across the entire city, as well as looking behind you out to the coast.
