Merycochoerus was an oreodont, an extinct family of hoofed mammals related to pigs and sheep. Merycochoerus was among the largest members of the family. These are the skeletons of a male and female standing over a mass of five juveniles (all were found together, suggesting it was a family). Miocene (20 million eyars ago), Nebraska

Long dormant volcano. Budj Bim is the source of the Tyrendarra lava flow which extends over 50km to the southwest. It is central to the history of the Gunditjmara people.
Mount Eccles National Park is Victoria’s first co-managed national park. The park is managed by Gunditjmara Traditional Owners and Parks Victoria.
The park’s tranquil crater lake and pleasant bushland surrounds make it a pleasant place for picnicking, camping and bushwalking. Nature trails follow the old crater rim.

Thylacine at Harvard Museum of Natural History in Cambridge MA, United States. Side view with skeleton.
lucky enough today to get INTO the wolf exhibit at our zoo through my friend davy and our workplace...this is the red wolf, only 17 left...they are extinct. they didn't like people in their cage with them, so very skittish. they are going to breed them and put them back into the wild.
A Blue Pike and a Northern Pike in the ROM. The blue pike were once very plentiful, but have been nearly wiped out due to overfishing. Blue pike are similar to walleye in shape, but are a seperate species.

A 1988 Boeing 747-212(F) sporting Northwest Airlines colors. According to rzjets.net, this aircraft started out with The Boeing Company, then she went to Singapore Airlines, Southern Air Transport, and South African Airways before joining Northwest's fleet. Unless picked up by someone else SOON, she's due to retire at the end of the year when Northwest (or should I say Delta?) stops flying 747 cargo jets into Anchorage.

2008 Year of the frog
Amphibians are declining rapidly; species, genera, and even families are going extinct at an unprecedented rate. One third to one half of all amphibian species are threatened with extinction, with probably more than 120 already gone in recent years. Habitat loss is the major threat in terms of number of species affected, but the rapid dispersal of amphibian chytrid fungus is of major and urgent concern because of its tendency to drive species to extinction quickly. Scientists believe many more species may go extinct before we are able to act. But there is one option currently available which can save hundreds or even thousands of species if we act rapidly: captive survival assurance populations. Zoos, aquaria, and botanical gardens play a crucial role in this solution, as they can provide ex-situ breeding grounds for the immediate conservation action needed before hundreds of species disappear.

2008 Ano da Rã
Os anfíbios têm tido um rápido declínio; espécies géneros e até famílias tem sido extintas a uma taxa sem precedentes. De um terço à metade das espécies de anfíbios estão ameaçadas de extinção, sendo que provavelmente mais de 120 já desapareceram. A perda de habitat é a maior ameaça em termos do número de espécies afectadas, mas a rápida dispersão do fungo da quitridiomicose é de maior e urgente preocupação, pois sua tendência é levar as espécies à extinção rapidamente. Cientistas acreditam que muitas espécies ainda serão extintas antes que sejamos capazes de agir. Porém, existe uma opção disponível que pode salvar centenas ou até mesmo milhares de espécies se agirmos rapidamente: assegurar a sobrevivência de populações em cativeiro. Zoológicos, aquários e jardins botânicos tem um papel crucial nesta solução, pois podem actuar como centros de reprodução ex-situ para a acção de conservação imediata, necessária antes que centenas de espécies desapareçam.

Extinct since 1975
The longjaw cisco chub once inhabited the deep water of Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Erie. It grew to be around 12 inches long and had a silvery colorization. The last known longjaw cisco was documented in 1975 in Ontario at the Georgian Bay. The extinction of this species was due to overfishing, pollution, and an invasive species. During the 1930s, the ciscos were caught in mass numbers by the deepwater cisco fishery and sold as “smoked herring.” Sea lampreys were introduced to the Great Lakes in the 1930s, and had a huge impact on the longjaws’ fish population. They attach their suction-cup like mouth to their victim and feed on their blood. The lamprey produces lamphredin, which is a biological fluid that prevents clots to form in the blood. The fish die from infection caused by the lamprey or by bleeding out. In a matter of years, the lampreys became the top predators of the region and the chubs were extinct.
Since the decimation of many fish species caused by the lampreys, a lot of research has been conducted to better understand the species. The Great Lakes Fishery Commission has worked to control their populations by using chemical lampricides and electric currents. A lampricide is a chemical inserted into the water systems that target the lampreys’ larvae, and kills them before adulthood is reached. This method helps control the uncontainable species and maintain a healthy population. The electrical currents are used when the lampreys are moving upstream to reproduce. While on this journey, scientist send electrical currents through the water that “guide” the lampreys into a trap. Both methods have been very successful and have provided education as to how to address invasive species. With this knowledge, we can be more helpful and hopefully have the tools to prevent extinctions like the longjaw cisco in the future.
"Trilobites (/ˈtraɪlɵbaɪt/, /ˈtrɪlɵbaɪt/; meaning "three lobes") are a well-known fossil group of extinct marine arthropods that form the class Trilobita. Trilobites form one of the earliest known groups of arthropods. The first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record defines the base of the Atdabanian stage of the Early Cambrian period (521 million years ago), and they flourished throughout the lower Paleozoic era before beginning a drawn-out decline to extinction when, during the Devonian, all trilobite orders except Proetida died out. Trilobites finally disappeared in the mass extinction at the end of the Permian about 250 million years ago. The trilobites were among the most successful of all early animals, roaming the oceans for over 270 million years.[2]"
