Scientists estimate
Probably every 20 minutes
There is a species that goes extinct
Other words
There could be 27,000 species going extinct a year
And many of them are species
Perhaps humanity is unheard of
It disappeared forever
Today
Let the illustrator Zhou Snake Ji
With a small yellow and white white
Hop on a time machine
Travel back in time
To our unmasked friends
A "hug"
Tyrannosaurus rex
Latin scientific name: Tyrannosaurus
Extinction time: about 65.5 million years ago
Tyrannosaurus rex (tyrannosaurus, tyrannos in its scientific name, means "tyrant" in Greek, and sauros is a lizard, literally meaning a tyrannical tyrannosaur lizard) is the largest of the tyrannosaur family. It is one of the largest land carnivores and the most famous carnivorous dinosaur in history.
It was one of the latest dinosaurs to emerge, the Tyrannosaurus rex lived in the Maastricht Order (MAA) of the late Cretaceous period, about 68.5 million to 65.5 million years ago, and was one of the last non-avian dinosaur species before the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event. Fossils are found in the United States and Canada in North America and are among the last dinosaurs to become extinct.
Bighorn deer
Scientific name: Megaloceros
Extinction time: about 7700 years ago
The bighorn deer lived in Eurasia in the late Pleistocene and early Holocene, from Ireland to the east of Lake Baikal. The bighorn deer became extinct about 7700 years ago. A large number of fossils of the bighorn deer are now on display at the Irish Museum of Natural History in Dublin, Ireland.
Cave lion
Latin scientific name: Panthera leo spelaea
Extinction time: about 2000 years ago
The cave lion, also known as the European cave lion, is the ancestor of the lion and is an extinct lion species. The body is larger than that of modern lions, with thick limbs, with an average body length of up to 2.7 meters, a tail length of 1.2 meters, and a weight of 500 kilograms. Studies have shown that the cave lion is a lion, and the lion is also a lion, and even the saber-toothed tiger is similar to a lion.
Between 300,000 and 100,000 years ago, cave lions have traveled through the grasslands, deserts, and semi-desert areas of northern and central Eurasia. It is now extinct.
wisent
Latin scientific name: Bison bonasus
Extinction time: 1627
The European bison is one of the most famous animals in Europe, with a very large body size, migrating or entering Europe 250,000 years ago. Hunting megafauna anywhere, a privilege of the nobility, slowly became a royal privilege only. The last remaining wild European bison died in the Western Caucasus in 1627.
dodo
Latin scientific name: Raphus cucullatus
Extinction time: 1690
The dodo, or Dodo, also known as the Mauritian dodo, the dodo, the dove, and the lone pigeon, is a flightless bird that is only produced on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. In just 70 years after its discovery, this bird was completely extinct due to human hunting and the influence of human activities, and it is the most famous extinct animal besides dinosaurs. It is also the only extinct bird in Mauritius to be designated as the national bird.
Li Haihu
Latin scientific name: Panthera tigris virgata
Extinction time: 1981
It is a large carnivore, also known as the Xinjiang tiger (called tiger in China), the Persian tiger, the Caucasian tiger, the Turan tiger, the West Asian tiger, the Central Asian tiger, and the Black Sea tiger, and is a large subspecies of the tiger.
It became extinct in China in 1916, and then in West and Central Asian countries, and went extinct in the 1980s.
Great auk
Latin scientific name: Pinguinus impennis
Extinction time: 1844
It is a water bird that does not fly very much. He has lived extensively on various islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Although it is a water bird, it looks very similar to a penguin, with a thick body, a white belly, and a black head to back. Swimming speed in the water is very fast, but because the wings have degenerated, they can only glide low on the surface of the water, cannot fly, and move slowly on land. The great auk has a very low reproductive capacity, laying only one egg at a time, and not making a nest, only on the open ground, once breeding in groups on rocky islands along the North Atlantic coast, and as far south as Florida, Spain and Italy, its fossil remains have been found. Due to the massive hunting of humans, it was extinct in 1844.
Spotted donkey
Latin scientific name: Equus zebra
Extinction time: 1883
Also known as the bust zebra, pseudo-zebra, bust horse, a subspecies of the common zebra, generally 2.7 meters long, tail nearly 1 meter, weighing about 410 kg. It is an animal in southern Africa, with a front bust like a zebra and a back bus like a horse, and became extinct in 1883. Through cloning technology, modern scientists hope to be able to recreate this extinct animal.
thylacine
Latin scientific name: Thylacinus cynocephalus Harri
Extinction time: 1936
Judging from its head and teeth, it is obviously a wolf, but its body is covered with stripes like a tiger, and it has the same habits as tigers, not flocking, so it is also known as the Tasmanian tiger. It can run on four legs, jump and walk on its hind legs like a wallaby, its mouth can be opened to 180° like a snake's mouth, and its jaw is strong and powerful, and it can bite the head of its prey in one bite. Ancestors may have been widely distributed in the rainforests of New Guinea, the Australian steppe and other places. It belongs to the marsupial class, and like kangaroos, the mother has a nursery bag. The thylacine was hunted and killed by humans because of its precious fur, and is now gone. The last thylacine, Panjeni, died on 7 September 1936 at Hobart Zoo on tasmania. According to the data, there may be thylacines in Australia, but no one has seen them again.
