Extinct Species and More Astonishing Animal Facts

Let's talk about some fascinating extinct animals and their last recorded sightings. The Barbary lion, also known as the North African lion, roamed the Maghreb but was hunted to near extinction, with the last wild sighting in 1956 and about 80-100 still in captivity. The dodo, a flightless bird from Mauritius, disappeared rapidly due to invasive species and habitat destruction, with its last confirmed sighting in 1662. Steller's sea cow was discovered in 1741 and hunted to extinction within just 27 years, leaving only bones and fossils as evidence. The Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, was last confirmed in the wild in 1930, and the last one in captivity died in 1936 at Hobart Zoo.
