Have you ever thought about it
Maybe one day
Humanity will perish
Just like the creatures below
Only to the earth
Leave the final image behind
thylacine
This footage was taken in 1933
Three years later, with the death of this thylacine
This species
It also disappeared from the earth
The thylacine is an ancient species
Appeared 4 million years ago
It has tiger-like markings on its body
There are also kangaroo-like nursery bags
The head still looks a lot like a fox
It is one of Australia's top predators
At the top of the local food chain
But because of the arrival of human beings
The status of the thylacine declined rapidly
Herders at the time saw them as "sheep killers"
And go on a rampage of hunting
This has led to a sharp decrease in its number
In 1930, the last wild thylacine
Beaten to death by a herder
In 1933
Someone captured a thylacine
Named Benjamin
And keep it in the zoo
In 1936
Ban Jemin was negligent because of the administrator's negligence
Died of exposure to the sun
There have been no more thylacines ever since
Any messages that exist
Pyrenees goat
The Pyrenees goat is a species
Goats that live on cliffs
Hence the name Hanging Sheep
Their reproduction rate is low
There is only one goat per litter
Add to that the frenzied hunting of humans
The number of Pyrenees goats decreased dramatically
By 1910
There are only 40 Pyrenees goats left
And that number never grew again
Year 2000
A Pyrenees goat named Celia
Unfortunately, he was crushed to death by a tree
And it's the only one left in the world
The last Pyrenees goat
Its death also announces the demise of this creature
At the time of the first extinction of the Pyrenees goat
There are scientists who have preserved a piece of its skin
And DNA was extracted from it
Successfully cloned a small Pyrenees goat
When everyone waits to witness a miracle
Only 7 minutes passed
This cloned goat
Just because of lung problems
Or to death
Pinta Island tortoises
It's called George
It is the last Pinta Island tortoise on Earth
Hundreds of years ago
These tortoises have also been leisurely
Living in this land
But later
With the development of the fishing and shipping industry
The tortoise became food in the mouths of the crew
They are processed into cans and stored
That's it
The number of tortoises is decreasing little by little
In 1971
George was found on an island
And it is also in the family of pinta island tortoises
The last survivor
In this world
It can only live on its own
There is no kind of person, and there is no place to communicate
June 24, 2012
That
It lay next to the water hole as usual
But it stopped breathing forever
Lonely for 100 years
Maybe for George
Death is not sadness
It's happiness
Because it can finally go to heaven
Reunite with partners
Western Black Rhinoceros
The Western Black Rhino is also known
Western black rhino or West African black rhino
It appeared about 8 million years ago
It is the rarest subspecies of the black rhinoceros
They were once widely distributed
The savannahs of West Central Africa
But in the early 20th century, it was hunted and killed
Among them
The most critical reason is the rhino horn
Some people think
Rhino horn can be medicated to strengthen the body
Still others think
A weapon made of rhino horn
Holders can be protected
Due to long-term human hunting
The number of black rhinos in the west is decreasing wildly
In 2011
The last black rhinoceros
He also died at the hands of poachers

But in 1987
Adult golden toads have been recorded as 1500
Only 1 year later
Only 10 remain
After 1989,
The golden toad was never again found
Someone analyzed
There are still toads living underground
But nothing was found
In 2006
The golden toad is considered extinct
The main cause of their extinction
It is climate warming and environmental pollution
From being discovered by humans to extinction
Just a few decades
pity
Such a beautiful species can never be seen again
Bali Tiger
The Balinese tiger is the smallest of the modern tigers
Less than 1/3 of the other tigers in the north
Once Bali was isolated from the rest of the world
The Balinese tiger became the king here
Under their rule
Everything here is calm and prosperous
As humans set foot on this land
Everything here is starting to turn out beyond recognition
People found the fur of the Balinese tiger
Can sell for a good price in the market

Gradually
Bali is almost looking
No more than a wild Balinese tiger
September 27, 1937
The last Balinese tiger
In the forests of western Bali,
Shot by greedy hunters
thereupon
This is the smallest tiger in the world
Finally completely on the way to extinction
Mexican Grizzlies
Mexican grizzly bears live in the woods
They live at higher elevations in the summer
Spring and autumn live at lower elevations
winter
They will hibernate in tree holes or rocks
19th century
A large number of grizzly bears can also be seen in Mexican forests
By the 20th century
With a growing population
Humans began to expand their living territory
A large amount of forest is cut down
Home of grizzly bears
It was ruthlessly plundered
Grizzly bears with no place to look for food
I had to run to the farmland to find something to eat
People want to protect their food
The campaign to hunt grizzly bears began
Poor Grizzlies
He was brutally murdered
By the 1950s
The number of grizzly bears has declined dramatically
But at this time
Grizzly bears were found again
Huge economic value
A new round of killings has begun in a frenzy
By 1964
Grizzly bears have been killed entirely by humans
World
There was no trace of a grizzly bear anymore
Heather chicken
Heather was once widely distributed in the Great Plains of North America
afterward
With the rapid growth of the population
The habitat of the heather chicken was soon occupied
And
Due to the large number of heather chickens
Plus the taste is fat
It is used as food by humans
Mass hunting
By the 19th century
Heather has disappeared on the North American continent
Only one 100 lives on one other island
With the efforts of the protection organization
The number of heather chickens began to grow
In 1926, it reached 2,000
But this time
A fire has come
A large number of heather chickens were burned to death
Because most of the survivors are roosters
Coupled with limited reproductive capacity
The population began to decrease again
By 1912
Only one male heather chicken remains
And it was the last time it appeared
The time is 1932
thereafter
People never saw a single heather chicken again
Northern white rhinoceros
March 20, 2018
In protected areas in Kenya
Sultan, a 45-year-old northern white rhinoceros
Close your eyes forever
But just a hundred years
Humans took one to survive on Earth
The 50 million-year-old species pushed to extinction
In 1960
There are also more than 2,000 northern white rhinos in the world
But poachers hunt
The number of northern rhinos has plummeted wildly
The price of rhino horn at that time
Higher than drugs
In 1990
The price of rhino horn per kilogram
About RMB 1700 to RMB 5400
And today's prices have skyrocketed to
400,000-470,000 RMB per kilogram
To prevent Sudan from being hunted
The one on the head could have grown to more than 1 meter long
Two rhino horns have been cut off
The reserve has 40 armed guards and 18 keepers
Take turns caring day and night
However, the Sultan left anyway
It has reached the upper limit of rhino age
But
It no longer has to worry about poachers stealing its horns
See images of these extinct animals
They have also struggled to survive
But finally said goodbye to this earth
In 2014
An article published by Duke University in the United States shows:
The number of species that have been wiped out by human activity
It is 1000 times that of natural elimination.
It is the hunting of human beings, the pollution of the environment
and overexploitation of resources
Only to let these innocent creatures disappear from the ground
A History of Animal Extinction
It is being written by human beings themselves
