Thank you all for following me on this journey, however sad it may be. It is vital we remember these species and not repeat our past mistakes. (3/3)

It was first recorded in 1931 and, due to overhunting for food, introduction of predatory snakes to its environment, and other habitat changes, was declared extinct in the wild in 1976. (2/3)

Multiple factors contributed to its eventual extinction in 1939: habitat destruction, invasive predators, and overhunting for sport and its pelt. (2/2)

#Pinktober2025 Day 28: #WesternBlackRhinoceros
This species of #Rhinoceros was endemic to #Africa and was quite common for a time. Its horn was highly sought after for various purposes and poaching of the #rhino eventually led to it being completely wiped out. It was declared extinct in 2011.

There were thousands to millions when #Polynesians settled, & went extinct due to overhunting by 1445, along with their only other predator, the Haast's #Eagle, which relied on them for food. This again demonstrates the delicate balance of island ecosystems & how badly humans can affect them. (2/2)

#Pinktober2025 Day 21: #StellersSeaCow
This relative of the #dugong was massive, growing up to 30ft in length, weighing up to 10t, & covered in a thick layer of blubber to survive frigid waters. It was hunted for its meat, fat, & hide, & went extinct in 1768, less than 30 years after its discovery.

For sure! And it gave hunters a run for their money too. They had to come up with diabolical methods to capture them. So sad they were wiped out. 😭
