The majority of organisms that have ever existed and now extinct. Most animals have been wiped out my mass extinction events and some scientist argue than we are currently going through a mass extinction event. Humans have raised the rate of biological extinction and now we are loosing animals at an astonishing rate. Most animals disappear without a trace but luckily for some recently extinct animals, some footage still remains. In this video i will be going through just a few of these animals as i will be going through 5 extinct animals that we still have footage of.

we don't have footage of it, only one photo, but the quagga. they were hunted to extinction and by the time we realised they were different from regular zebras.
You know what’s sad, unless we use them for food, sport or other purposes we don’t care about the population.
The thylacine is truly heartbreaking beautiful animal.
Thylacine lives.
People eat wood peckers thats fucked
Taking my guesses now as the video begins. . 🤔 Tassie Tiger, Passenger Pigeon, Galapagos Tortoise (don't remember the species or sub species) and… Uh. I'm not sure… Dodo maybe?
Edit: and that's only 4… LoL
Back in the industrial area men became super rich destroying the plant. Now the get richer cleaning it up. Making The avg. person pay for everything.
I heard and saw an ivory-billed woodpecker in the summer of 2018.
The Ivory-billed likely persists. The bird is almost uniquely difficult to track and study. Australia went through a similar process of over a hundred years to try to prove the existence of the Australian Night Parrot. It is today thought that 150-250 Night Parrots are alive; if the Ivory-billed has similar numbers that would make them that much more difficult to find.
A minute and fifty three seconds into the video and already guilt tripped multiple times while adding no solutions. Just guilt trips after guilt trips. Why does any content that has to do with nature have to contain 90% guilt trip and 10% nature content?
The ivory-billed woodpecker is actually still alive there is recent footage of it and a few people who have credibly seen it it is in one small area of the United States and by that I mean small
Holdup.. Lets at least be accurate when casting Shame. "We" are not responsible for the extinction of the dolphin, China is. More specifically, chinese communism.
Big shout-out to Asia for killing almost every animal and causing most of the endangered species list
I know like these are scientists who know their stuff…but how do we 100% know that a species has gone extinct?
Fun fact about the thylacine they're thought that a subspecies might be left in the Australian outback there have been recent sightings of them
I just wanted to see the animals
No be shamed for being a human
Blocking your channel
Freak
Lonesome George. The last known Pinta Island tortoise from the Galápagos Islands. There is video footage of him on YouTube.
I think a great idea would be plants that went extinct or almost extinct because the animals they relied on for seed dispersal or pollination went extinct. Two examples of near extinction from the Americas would be the Avocado and the Bowdark/Osage Orange. Native Americans bred the Avocado into a palatable fruit. Southern plains tribes figured out that the Osage Orange could be cultivated by smashing the fruits apart and letting the pulp ferment, simulating the digestive processes of the mastadons that once ate them. They grew the saplings for their wood, which makes excellent bows. Older trees make good lances.
Bowdark is America's reverse durian. The fruit smells very good, like a mix of orange juice and every artificial phenol used in perfume. But it tastes like chugging paint thinner and burns your nose. They planted one back at my school back in the forties, by the eighties we had plenty of the fruits to use as weapons.
The thylacene was still around in 1930's and (unlike most of the other animals on this list which have some closely related species that looks exactly like it) can only be brought back with some Jurassic Park level cloning technology.
What a great and informative video! Keep up the good work
The northern white rhino is a very recent extinction and a very heart breaking tale because we could have saved them if we acted sooner. Now there are only two females left and hope of cloning them back into existence.
What we do these animals we have done
1.Dinosaurs are bullshit. Never existed.
Well that’s depressing. And a million other creatures are currently endangered too. If a disaster happens maybe humans could be next. At least we have videos. Maybe some of them will be saved somehow.
I wish Pigpen and rat needs to be on this list
Is there any footage of the Carolina Parakeet in the wild?
When I was really young I thought I saw a massive ivory woodpecker outside when I used to live in Florida. So long ago. It was massive and I remember running to grab my bird book and matching it to the picture. It flew off and I never saw it again. It may not have been it but I remember counting two whites on the wings when it flapped it’s wings. But I also have a very active imagination so I remember trying to tell my mom about it. She thought it was cool. Still find woodpeckers to be my favorite bird group. Just sad that they are all not very common.
The dingoes are native to Australia don’t confuse it with feral dogs that contributed to the Thylacine’s extinction
I was thinking, since the golden told was only discovered in 1966, what if the population of the species was in decline for a longer time, idk its kind of weird it only existed in such a small area
dont lie to me… i see that wood pecker everyday at my house… er hear it mostly (really really loud)
Thylacine's actually weren't responsible for attacking livestock, as it was found that the force of their bite wasn't strong enough to kill sheep, which is what they were being hunted for. So its even more tragic.
Can you do one of plants?
There are scientists working on bringing back the Heath Hen.
Why the name 月?
We? I didn’t do shit. Thanks boomers.
The thylacine in the footage was ill and not taken well care of but he was still gorgeous and I'm so sad they are extinct
Maybe we should change our ways
Only the chicken bird thing was kinda cute. All the others were slimy or ugly so it's no big loss.
The most heartbreaking part about animals extinctions in our era is that, these extinctions of animals are caused by us.
In a cruel twist efforts to protect the thylacine did come into effect, for the last 57 days that the last thylacine was alive, it was officially a protected species in Tasmania
We really need to do more to protect and preserve our fellow animals from extinction.
Don’t worry, someday humans will go extinct too
Not "WE", the damn Chinese are responsible.
I find it irritating lump all human beings into one category.
The Aboriginals aren't responsible, the Andamanese people had nothing to do with it, the Scandinavian people aren't guilty, it's the fucking Chinese.
We all don't get to share this blame. The Chinese are also responsible for the mass depletion of Oceanic Whitetip sharks and sharks in general in our great oceans. They continue to harvest their fins and discard the rest of the corpse.
Again not all people should absorb the repercussions of such unnecessary acts of selfishness.
It falls squarely on the Chinese, specifically the Han Chinese.
The sooner we acknowledge that the sooner action can be taken to correct such inconsiderate behavior.
Another animal that could have made it to the list is the extinct Kauai 'O'o bird that lived in Hawaii and died out in 1980's
