Bush Dogs are so rare that they were thought to be extinct when first discovered through fossils. The Bush Dog is the only living species in the genus Speothos, and genetic evidence suggests that its closest living relative is the Maned Wolf of central South America. In spite of its extensive range across Central and South America, the Bush Dog is very rare in most areas except in Suriname, Guyana and Peru.
The Bush Dog was first identified by Peter Wilhelm Lund from fossils in Brazilian caves and was believed to be extinct. Lund was a Danish paleontologist, zoologist, archeologist who spent most of his life working and living in Brazil. He is considered the father of Brazilian paleontology as well as archeology.
An old volcano on the Peninsula. Maori name Hereweka, also called Harbour Cone. Our whole harbour is a volcano crater, extinct since 10 million years ago. It was active for about 6 million years before that. Thinking of people in the Canary Islands about 100 km west of Morocco just now.
Thanks very much for comments.
Extinct in the UK by the end of the 19th century due to habitat loss and persecution, occasional nesting pairs returned to eastern England during the 1970’s. Numbers have increased steadily since then . Many birds now overwinter and quite large roosts can be seen in some areas, especially in eastern England. The recent roost counts locally have found as many as 20 birds roosting in one spot . It is estimated that 350 to 390 pairs bred in the UK last year
Yes...Extinct in the Wild. Simandoa Cave Roach, a harmless insect that lived a symbiotic relationship with bats. Miners tore down the cave - and the only specimens we have left are captive bred.
Some of the moai found around the island have these large, red pieces on their heads. Despite what they look like, these aren’t hats, but are rather the hair styles (top knots) of those particular people represented by the statues.
Called ‘pukaos’, these large rocks were carved at the Puna Pau quarry out of red scoria, and are different to the rest of the stone you can find around the island.
A trip to Puna Pau allowed me to look into the quarry, as well as saw a number of pukao that never made it to their final destination.
Hoopoes are colourful birds found across Africa, Asia, and Europe, notable for their distinctive "crown" of feathers. Three living and one extinct species are recognized, though for many years all of the extant species were lumped as a single species—Upupa epops
Interesting information about this bird: dino.wikia.org/wiki/Dodo
He can be seen in SL here: Savor Serenity, River Hill

Days are gone, so does the way of game.
...and thus life changed.
This is a world of Computer, PSP and Xbox.
Amusement of early days are about to extinct.
Red Kites:-
This magnificently graceful bird of prey is unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail.
The RSPB is celebrating the "remarkable" comeback of the Red Kite, a bird which had almost become extinct in Britain.
For more than 400 years the bird of prey was killed as vermin and by the 1960s there were just 20 pairs.
But the organisation's 2011 Big Garden Birdwatch survey recorded as many as 2,000 breeding pairs, an increase of over 130% since last year.
Its return began in the 1990s with re-introductions in several areas.
At the turn of the 20th century it was extinct in England and Scotland with just a handful of breeding pairs in the Welsh valleys.
The Welsh birds began to expand slowly in the 1980s with legal protection, reduced persecution and efforts of conservationists, but remained very vulnerable.

"Mount Franklin is an extinct volcano. It was known as Lalgambook by the local Jajowurrong people. In 1841 Sir John Franklin, Lieut-Governor of Van Dieman's Land, modestly named the mountain after himself."
E.S. Parker established the Jim Crow Aboriginal Station at Mount Franklin. In 1852 diggings were discovered that took the same name; the following year the Dry Diggings were discovered. The district soon developed as a gold-mining centre."
Like a prehistoric beast, it waits in a field for another chance. Rusty and forlorn; the last of its kind.
Koko Crater (Hawaiian: Kohelepelepe or Puʻu Mai) is an extinct tuff cone located on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu near Hawaiʻi Kai. It is a part of the Honolulu Volcanics, which were craters that formed as vents of the Koʻolau Volcano during its rejuvenation stage. During World War II, the U.S. military built bunkers on top of Koko Crater with a railroad leading to its summit. In 1966, the air force ceded administration of Koko Crater over to the City of Honolulu. It was then renamed to the Koko Head Regional Park. Within this park is the Koko Crater Trail, which is a 1.8-mile-long trail that uses the now-abandoned railroad as its pathway. The trail heads up 990 ft and 1,048 railroad cross-ties at a very steep incline, and the views at the Koko Head Crater summit are 1,208 ft above sea level.
The abandoned railway trail can be seen as the faint 'line' up the side of the crater in the photograph above (starts just above the baseball/softball field and ends at the peak of the crater). This photo was taken from the Hawai'i Kai Lookout along the side of Kalanianaʻole Highway.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

An extinct speces Urania sloanus, or Sloane's urania, was a species of moth of the family Uraniidae endemic to Jamaica. It was last reported in 1894 or 1895, but possibly survived until at least 1908. The species was first described by Pieter Cramer in 1779.
The specific epithet sloanus honours Sir Hans Sloane (1660–1753), an English collector whose collection became the foundation of the British Museum.
(Leptailurus serval) B28I8181 Masai Mara Triangle - Kenya
In North Africa, the serval is known only from Morocco and has been reintroduced in Tunisia, but is feared to be extinct in Algeria. It inhabits semi-arid areas and cork oak forests close to the Mediterranean Sea, but avoids rainforests and arid areas. It occurs in the Sahel, and is widespread in Southern Africa. It inhabits grasslands, moorlands and bamboo thickets at high altitudes up to 3,800 m (12,500 ft) on Mount Kilimanjaro. It prefers areas close to water bodies such as wetland and savanna, which provide cover such as reeds and tall grasses. In the East Sudanian Savanna, it was recorded in the transboundary Dinder–Alatash protected area complex during surveys between 2015 and 2018.
In Zambia's Luambe National Park, the population density was recorded as 0.1/km2 in 2011. In South Africa, the serval was recorded in Free State, eastern Northern Cape, and southern North West. In Namibia, it is present in Khaudum and Mudumu National Parks.
There were two major difficulties in making this photo: the tall grasses at this time in the Masai Mara and the very harsh midday light which creates a veil of heat - and which is a sore for all photographers.
You can hardly photograph a Serval at the start of the day because it waits until the grasses are dry to hunt rodents, birds or lizards.
However, I was already quite happy with this meeting, even with a photo of average quality.
Not exactly a household brand name, but this is the logo from my old film SLR, a mid seventies classic!
HMM!

This is the crater of Mt Eden, the volcano overlooking the beautiful city of Auckland. Obviously there hasn't been much volcanic activity in recent years.
Mkinvartsveri is an extinct volcano whose last eruption is supposed to have happened in the Middle Pleistocene, sometime between 2,580,000 and 11,700 years ago.
A number of glaciers come down from it, including Suatisi, Mna, Ortsveri, and Devdaraki. The fastest river in Georgia, the Tergi, has its source there as well.
Kazbegi is especially attractive for mountaineers and rock climbers, but you don’t have to be a professional athlete to get to it's top. What you do need is good physical preparedness, a well-chosen time, the right equipment and most of all - a professional guide.
There are two classic routes climbing up to the top of Kazbegi and the best time for ascending is from the second half of summer to the middle of September, when the snow cover is less and the weather is mostly sunny.
Once you have reached the peak, standing above the clouds in an infinite expanse, you will gaze out over a breathtaking view that will make all of the sweat and aches worth it.
Been through National Park lots of times but don't often get to see these extinct volcanos very often as the weather is usually bad but this day you could just see them just!

Already extinct in the second half of the 14th century in New Zealand. Within 5 years the Polynesians hunted them down.
Bereits in der 2. Hälfte des 14. Jhrh. in Neuseeland von den Polynesiern in Neu Zealand ausgerottet.
First identified from dinosaur-age fossils. it was thought to be extinct. The dawn redwood, Metasequoia glyptostroboides.
Then in 1941 a living specimen was discovered during a survey of Sichuan and Hubei provinces, China. Seeds were later collected and raised in arboreta worldwide. Specimens are now widely available for planting. In the wild it exists in only a few scattered stands in China where it is has protected status.
The dawn redwood is one of the few deciduous conifers.
