Extinct birds also migrate, but to the other side. Since a camera never lies then this must be true.

This fossilized extinct arthropod sits on my desk....he's only about 500 million years old.
Trilobite, any member of a group of extinct fossil arthropods easily recognized by their distinctive three-lobed, three-segmented form. Trilobites, exclusively marine animals, first appeared at the beginning of the Cambrian Period, about 542 million years ago, when they dominated the seas. Although they became less abundant in succeeding geologic periods, a few forms persisted into the Permian Period, which ended about 251 million years ago.
Trilobites had three body lobes, two of which lay on each side of a longitudinal axial lobe. The trilobite body was segmented and divided into three regions from head to tail: the cephalon, or head region, separated from the thorax, which was followed in turn by the pygidium, or tail region. Trilobites, like other arthropods, had an external skeleton, called exoskeleton, composed of chitinous material. For the animal to grow, the exoskeleton had to be shed, and shed trilobite exoskeletons, or portions of them, are fossils that are relatively common.

Every afternoon the elephants are treated to a bath in the rivers of Tangakahan in North Sumatra. This particular afternoon this elephant shared it's bath time with a small child. I love this photo because of the look the child is giving the elephant. A lot can be taken away from reading the boys expression. I document the plight of the Sumatran elephant and this photo with this boys expression seems to radiate a lot of empathy for their dire situation.
...as with the individual, so with the species, the hour of life has run its course, and is spent. - Charles Darwin, 'The Voyage of the Beagle'
On an unrecorded day in the 1760s, the last Steller's sea cow (Rhytina borealis) died. Before the 18thC human hunters began killing the species, a gigantic manatee, for fur and fat oil. Russian explorers discovered the sea cow in 1741, and in less than 30 years the fur traders who followed up on this discovery had hunted the animals to extinction.
The death of the last sea cow in a lonely corner of the North Pacific in the 1760s was precisely the event that provoked discussions of extinction beginning in the 1780s, at a time when the dodo was still commonly thought to be either imaginary or still extant..('Empire of Extinction' Ryan Tucker Jones)
This is NOT a replica skeleton.
"Shon Papri" is what it is called locally. When we were kids, we would see such local vendors walking on the streets and sell such items but they have almost become extinct these days.
The only decent Shon Papri you get is from the indian sweet giant "Haldirams".

Scientists who study the extinct creatures that once roamed the Earth are called paleontologists. If you were to watch a paleontologist at work, you would probably see him on his hands and knees, methodically and painstakingly examining the surface of the ground. This is because he is looking for fossils, or else he has lost a contact lens.

This cut and polished fossil was at one time the home for a mollusk that lived within it's chambered halls.
Ammonites were early mollusks. These marine animals had no vertebrae and were protected by a hard shell (usually coiled) made from calcium. Fast-moving predators, they ate other animals in the sea. They were cephalopods.
Anatomy: These animals were protected by a shell (usually spiral-coiled) that contained many air filled chambers, called phragmocones; the animal lived only in the outer chamber. The opening of the shell is called the aperture. The walls of each chamber are called septa; these walls were penetrated by a ventral tubelike structure called a siphuncle that probably regulated the air pressure, allowing the ammonite to float.
The ammonite's closest living relative is the Chambered Nautilus
My extremely fast camera shutter speed captured this formally extinct tree owl before it again flew away forever.

220 was retained with ADEs last year, with a thought of them being at least compliant, but according to a driver that RATP thought these were Euro 6 but they weirdly aren’t, which is kinda doesn’t make sense if they retain a route of compliant diesels but then they replace them, I don’t mind the hybrid conversion as the BT13/BD13s and G3s can have a good mix with an ADE here and there.
Smilodon fatalis
Extinct
These sabre-toothed cats were about the size of a modern African lion, with short powerful legs, a muscular build, and exceptionally long upper canines.
Climate change, impacting both food resources and habitat, likely contributed to the cats' demise. Hunting by humans probably played a role as well.

The baiji (pronounced by-jee) is considered to be the first dolphin species to possibly go extinct do to human interaction. There are believed to be fewer than 10 specimens left. In the 1800s, this species numbered up to 5,000 individuals. Sadly, pollution, dams, bycatch (getting caught in nets), habitat destruction, and climate change have all taken their toll. These beautiful creatures are listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN and their numbers are decreasing. It is widely believed that the species is actually functionally extinct. Meaning that there might not be enough individuals remaining to perpetuate the species.

Now on to the Facts!
1.) These dolphins can only be found in the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, in China.
2.) They also go by the names: White Flag dolphin, Yangtze River dolphin, Changjiang dolphin, and Chinese lake dolphin.
3.) These dolphins, like other known species of dolphins, are diurnal (active during the day).
4.) Baiji river dolphins have been around for approximately 50 million years. It has taken less than 50 years for humans to decimate their populations to the meager numbers of today.
5.) Their name, in Chinese, means white dolphin.
But wait, there's more on the baiji!
6.) Baiji dolphins prey on a variety of river fish.

This is 2 1/2 year old Kecil, male Bornean Orangutan.
Kecil was born at the Toledo Zoo, Ohio, but had complications at birth, and as a result, his birth mother didn't/wouldn't bond with him.
He came to Brookfield Zoo around 5 mos old and was paired with a surrogate mom, Maggie.
Kecil is doing quite well now and is getting more and more independent. Just love this little guy.
This is International Orangutan Week.
The wild orangutans are extremely endangered and could go extinct in the wild in our life time. Check out the palm oil crisis and see what you can do to help save them.
