The image is both tragic and beautiful in equal measure. The king of the desert mountains, tracing the last steps of his species in the sand. Regal, unrivaled, and yet utterly alone.
Considering that the species survived almost another 30 years, that lion is definitely not the last. Instead what I find fascinating is the technology. 30 years from that picture, and no else takes another picture of a barbary lion in the wild. The complication to use older cameras and how few people had them... How many people saw the last of a species, but weren't able to capture an image?
It’s crazy how unethical zoology used to be. They literally located a small island of near extinct seals JUST to off them and send their bodies to museums.
Not many people talk about how we’re in the middle of a moral revolution right now. Look how different the morals are in literally all of science and all of social science compared to as recent as the 70s. Its insane
Well, back then, science isn't as developed so of course, people would act ruthlessly whatever they want without knowing that they are destroying the world
@@hamzazahir1793 and even the "Zoo Neuwied", Germany has them as an offspring of the royal Lions kept by the king of Marocco. They are bred and have offspring and they are Barbary lions. Yes, they are endangered and extinct in the wilderness though not in capitivity.
@noahgoldberg7387 some of the Asian ones have enough Barbary DNA left to breed a full blooded one back into existence. Basically several half breeds survived and continued the line
it genuinely hurts my heart to know how much more colorful and diverse our world used to look not even that long ago. Even animals we do have today used to be more wide spread. its a damn shame
Yes, I had to stop watching the video at the 5-minute mark, it just made me sad. It reminded of the woods I walked in as a teenager, camping and fishing, watching animals and birds, 99% of the time by myself. Fifty years have passed since then, however I can still follow the main trail in my mind, every prominent tree and rock, small stream and lake. All the trees and animals are gone, the streams are hidden in culverts, the lakes are developed with houses, everything of its original natural has been destroyed.
It’s not like we are finished wiping out species. More are getting wiped out all the time. Go take some photos of some critters. You never know if one might be the last.
We're so caught up in b.s. like BLM, CRT and DEI and we keep polluting and land developing without taking the environment into account. Humans are like roaches{sorry roaches}
While working in 6 African countries, along 14 years, for conservation, local hunters never understood the concept of extinction, when they saw density of a species decreasing to local extinction from overhunting, they always said that the animals had simply moved further. I'm sure this is the way we have been wiping out species from the Pleistocene all around the world.
We have accounts of Europeans saying the same stuff, except like in newspapers and publications a long time ago. Look into it, very intriguing/sad lol.
@@Memento_Mori_Morals surely they thought similarly, but, to make it worse, Europeans and Amercans did not care about it or even they purposedly tried to exterminate species, like it happened with thylacine
the concept of totems is one of the earliest known conservation measures. A family isn't allowed to eat it's totemic animal. With some tribes, the protection covers the maternal totemic animal as well.
It would be appropriate, and maybe polite to specify, where in Africa, as we really need to depart from generalising Africa, like its one little village, it's inhabitants, monolithic in their pitiful existence. Your "White saviour" complex is so loud, it almost overshadows the exaggerated anecdote, you employed to conceal it. (Addendum - Not asking for money, not asking for your time, not asking for any physical effort that would cause any inconvenience, simply asking that we be more considerate in how we use language that might come across as offensive, and that's enough to cause such a pandemonium. We clearly have a long way to go, and on such a thought provoking video such as this. But, I'm not backing down.)
That Barbary Lion photo is so haunting and heartbreaking. Composition-wise, it's breathtaking. I'm SO SO glad they're not truly extinct, I find them so beautiful.
The Carolina parakeet had a behavior of returning to mourn their own dead, so that when one was shot or trapped the whole flock would come to mourn him and make themselves easy to slaughter for their feathers. That's the kind of thing that makes me want to strangle a person. Incredible anger
I used to breed budgies and they "mourn" at times as well. I lost a hen who had 4 chicks, I spread them amongst 3 other hens, but the dad for 2 days returned to look for his mate and babies. Sad to watch. Basically, the hen starved herself looking after 4 chicks and despite having plenty of food didn't eat enough herself. The male was a pet bird and she was a show bird (it wasn't a pairing that was supposed to happen, it just did as they were both rejects). His mate and chicks were all bigger then himself. I had a theory he just couldn't provide for them due to his size. He was half that of his babies and mate. Still sad to watch him, she was his second mate (first one I had to part with after she killed another hen, but he'd moved onto the big girl by then).
I learned never to tell people that you spotted any animal when I was a child. It wasn't rare, but i spotted a fairly young road runner when I was 8. I told my friend and eventually more kids gathered and started throwing rocks at it. Luckly, it was small enough to escape through the fence. I never shared any of my animal sightings with anyone after that day. Lets hope some extinct species are still out there, but i would be afraid to tell anyone.
If the animal you’ve spotted is special, don’t ever share where you had seen it. You may trust the intentions of the person whom you tell, but you have no idea who else that person may tell, and what their intentions may be. It’s better to just be happy that you were lucky enough to have observed it yourself, and let the animal live on in peaceful anonymity.
@Maker.of.Mischief yes. I wish someone would have told me at 8 years old. People will hurt animals, plants, and insects for no reason. I've had people destroy plants I've planted and insects I've saved.
During homelessness defraud victim travelling 100s of miles across sea land to get to a place for at least shelter. I spent my days power walking and hiking. As I rebuilt my life alone in Lincolnshire England I had a eagle sit with me on a log. A deer come over and bring her baby almost as if to say your free now. It’s over it will be ok. I still go back thete on my bike or on foot. Became a magical place to me I later read the eagles were reintroduced and thriving I was so happy for them
Yep, where I'm from it is straight up illegal to post pictures of rhinos that could give any sign as to their location, like background landscape features or signs. Also can't post the place name or location pin. Poachers act fast.
I moved where I live now about 23 years ago. At night during the summer, I would hear frogs croaking from the forest nearby. Today, I no longer hear them. I wonder what happened to them. I loved that sound. I could sleep listening to that sound.
The Bubal Hartebeest and Caribbean Monk Seal segments made me especially angry. They found a population of a species that had clearly become rare, and then they killed them. I don't understand why these people couldn't have just taken the time to appreciate these animals for what they were.
Ikr it makes me think of people stranded on an island, finding a single pack of rations and instantly eating the whole thing only to throw up half of it lol. Just stupid people.
You gotta understand for a lot of people even the supposedly civilized educated countries on Europe compared to say a really poor colonial Africa the sheer concept of extinction was foreign Surely god wouldn't let these animals go extinct, it's impossible mam could kill everyone of them, they just move further away into the wild ettc. Hell even now people don't give a shit besides oh that's sad anyways... Its fucking meddening
Well this is depressing, especially the Carolina Parakeet. In the last 35 years the bird population where I live has fallen from healthy to almost zero.
I remember as a kid it was sometimes hard to talk on the phone (like you know - the rotary dial ones) because of the birds were so bloody loud. Now you cannot see a single one.
Help the wildlife in your own area. Plant bushes and trees that produce flowers and fruits native to the area and for most seasons. Add feeding stations in winter. Give them safe places to nest and shelter, especially from cats. Make sure your garden is dark at night. Not just for birds, but for hedgehogs and lots of other small animals as well.
Literally it's just sad how everything is it just shows u how people got through back then all people today point out the bad when legit u legit could see the cosmos at night back then without light pollution overall more animals idk it was bad Ig but i think just the world in general gave them a reason to live especially seeing the galaxy at night that alone woulda made it worth it
Great video. As someone with a biology degree, I liked that it was factual and not based on drama, like I often see in videos made fir laypeople. Very interesting that there was a parrot native to the u.s.a. Thank you for the intelligent video. If I would have had this when teaching high school biology I would have played it for them. I subscribed.
As individuals we all wish to be remembered but for an entire species to go extinct and barley be known to me, let a lone remembered, is a tragedy. Thanks for honoring these extinct animals with your video!
Well we lose about 150 species every day for all time. It's no big deal, just part of the sim. Been going on for billions of years on this rock - they come n go. We are here for such an infinitesimally short amount of time you really can't talk about anything Big Picture, let alone what a tragedy IS. But if it makes you feel better, the good news is there are thousands of species 👽 yet to be discovered under the 71% of earth yet to be explored i.e. the oceans. 👽
Kinda heartbreaking this, seeing some species in their final documented photos. It's just sad, but I'm glad you put this together though. Because they all deserve to be immortalised as a reminder to our own savagery. That we caused many of these species to go extinct. When we could of just studied them from a respectable distance, but sadly that was too much to ask for, and people back then just wanted more. Showing another reminder to our own stupidity.
@@KeysoftheLordhumans are good at two things.. making shit and breaking shit Edit: or maybe making shit to break shit🤔 or even the unthinkable.. breaking shit to make shit!!!.. I’m going down the rabbit hole
@@zedantyorant Don't be naive? Sorry, which of those extinct animals was an existential threat to us when we wiped them off the planet through overhunting? 8 out of the 10 species in this video were simply hunted out of existence. Completely wiping parakeets off the North American continent was an us or them scenario? "Your life or an animals,pretty easy choice."? Because I'm seeing a lot of pictures of their corpses pinned to people's clothing as decoration and I'm having difficulty imagining a parakeet presenting any sort of threat to the rough and tumble, early European settlers of the Americas. On the other hand, I really appreciate you proclaiming your lack of intelligence on a public forum for all to see, so at least there's that.
@zedantyorant bro you're really acting like they didn't have massive farms of animals and crops. You're acting like they all were a human extinction level threat. Idiots man I swear.
8:09 this image is so haunting. Did the lion know he was the last? Was he going into the mountains to fade away? Or was he simply trying to escape his enteral enemy, man?
Extremely interesting and sad. I was struck by the simple beauty of those parrot specimens; they're more valuable than any gem, a precious and tragic reminder of what we owe to the natural world, and our responsibility as the species who can truly make a difference, one way or the other.
Back when i was still young i used to chase butterflies and then at night i love the sight of fireflies. Now i rarely see a butterfly, same with fireflies, what happened to this beautiful world. We don't deserve this beautiful world.
I've noticed that about fireflies! The evening air used to sparkle with them when I was growing up in WV. Now, I'm surprised whenever I see one. God knows what we've done to the natural world with our pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, and air, water, & soil pollution.
@@LordOfChaos.x We're not, but we're the first to do so on such a massive scale and, more importantly, the first with enough sentience to realize it's a bad thing and with the means to stop doing it. Just because lions kill eachother all the time doesn't mean it's ok for people to murder eachother as well, same goes for any other similar case
I had only heard of two of these animals before today, so thank you for sharing! You're narration was very relaxing too. I can definitely see myself watching your videos and then rewatching them again later to help me wind down at the end of the day. Keep up the great work!
I used to watch a movie called The Secret of The Seal. It's a very old anime movie and the main theme was the extinction of the Mediterranean seals or their supposed extinction. After doing some research, I'm sure the movie was about the Mediterranean Monk seals. This video reminded me of the movie when the Caribbean Monk seals were brought up.
My herpatology professor at one point worked in the lab of the guy who discovered golden toads. Acording to her he had big jars of ethanol containing hundreds of specimens of the things.
Yes. Humble. Cause you are very, very good at this. Great work. This channel is about to skyrocket . Buckle up, buddy ! I'm gonna do what I'm good at. Helping out . 😎🇨🇦
i think you are a good narrator, and i love nature. So i subscribed! May your channel live and thrive, and may people come to understand the importance and beauty of the nature we still have.
Wow, it's haunting seeing these last known images of these extinct animals. So sad that humans have directly or indirectly caused so much damage to our world.
anytime you feel sad about something like this, just remember, throughout earths VERY long history, there have been at LEAST 6 major extinction events where literally 99% of everything living went extinct.... life finds balance and a way, humans will one day be gone too, thats just the way "life" (ironically) goes
When i heard him say that 10 of them died i was like HOW TF DO YOU MESS UP LIKE THAT WHAT?? I guess this explains how they could accidentaly kill like 70% of them
@@MoonSpinners Toolaches were less than a decade from extinction when that last ditch attempt at captive breeding happened. Nearly all their habitat was cleared for farmland, their joeys were being killed by feral foxes and trophy hunters were poaching the few remaining adults.
Martha died seventy-four years before I was born, on what would end up being my birthday. I've had a fascination with passenger pigeons ever since learning that. I'll be sure to check out your dedicated video on the subject.
You can almost see the loneliness and sadness of the last birds. It's as if they know they are the last. Can hardly imagine the desolation they must have felt
It's truly sad to see such a mindless comment about the topic, really. The vast majority of extinctions happened before human beings even existed. The living species that causes the most extinctions right now today isn't human beings. Most of the extinctions that happened even with human intervention had many other natural factors going on which aided in it happening. Most extinctions happening today are animals we never even discovered. Most extinctions happen as a result of pure force of natural reason. Human beings are themselves animals and an extension of nature so whatever we do is technically natural.

Im gonna be honest and say id wear the hell out of a hat like that but ONLY if the bird was humanely collected and already dead when found. Im also a weirdo tho 😂
This is such sad content, but greatly appreciate you showing us what we have lost… i wish humanity could really learn from losing these amazing species.
@@jirojhasuo2ndgrandcompany745yeah because it’s into Europeans that over hunt and kill animals definitely not also the Japanese hunting whales and dolphins or the Chinese over hunting everything for traditional medicines which fuels the hunting of sharks rhinos and pangolins by the Africans so no it’s all people that have killed animals and it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect animals which many in Europe leading the charge to do so
@@jirojhasuo2ndgrandcompany745Just want to tag on Polynesians as well. It's fascinating, most traditional human lifestyles prevented extinction, because of course if your land loses its survival potential then you do, too. But because Polynesians travelled to a new island if one became depleted, and island species are often few in number, Polynesians would sometimes cause habitat destruction because they would feel no consequences. Meanwhile Europeans mass cleared forests for firewood, building materials and farmland, and just generally terraformed. Not to mention forcing their way of life on people in habitats where it did not sustainably fit.
This was a very cool and informative video! I have just discovered your channel and am surprised that you have so few subscribers. You definitely deserve more!❤❤
I too just found this channel. I have now subscribed. Hopefully your followers continue to grow. This was a great video and I am now going to watch the rest.💜🙂💜
gee this was so sad just to think humans destroyed the seals instead of trying to bring them back makes me sick to my stomach there was only 5 buffalo's an they brought them back such a shame humans can be so curl.
When I was 18 I worked at an animal reservation in Italy. They were there to provide safe haven to rescued exotic animals that were illegal shipped from Africa. But I didn’t realize that some of the animals there were extinct. There were two (male) Barbary lions and a couple of Quaggas.
This made me feel such dread in a very strange way. Maybe it's the reverence you talk about these animals and the music and the old quality of many of these but it makes me feel like I'm remembering a past life in a strange way
This is a devastating thing to watch. I'm crying after the first photo. Thank you for making this. I wish there was a park/museum dedicated to the memory of extinct species, but more reverent than just a scientific exposition, and not focused on the horribleness of it, which requires no explicit mentioning, the goal being simply to honor species lost since human civilization began.
One correction - baji wasn't yet declared extinct (although sadly it very likely is...). In 2006 it was declared "functionally extinct", not extinct per say.
Great video. Just a minor correction - the quagga photo was an individual at the London Zoo. The last known animal at the Amsterdam Zoo was apparently never photographed.
These photos are bone-chilling to me. It's hard for us as humans to even begin to visualize what it must be like to be the last surviving member of your species. Living out the remainder of your days, never knowing that when you die, there will never be another like you to walk this Earth again. That's heavy.
This is a great video. Very informative and visually impressive. Decent narration as well. But I couldn't finish it. Six minutes in I was completely heartbroken.
Its seriously wild how different we treat endangered animals now. Even when people where trying to help them back in the day, it sounds like they just shoved them in a box with some holes cut out and force-fed them dinner scraps lol.
I read a book by Jane Goodall about when humans intervened to save species and it worked (it's called Hope for the Animals and their World). It is still very common for captured groups of animals to suffer awful unfortunate tragedies that wipe them out quickly and they lose the whole sample, despite how well they are treated. In one example of bird, where the whole population got a disease, they had to play a gamble on whether the medicine that worked on a close relative would work on them, as they had no time or specimens to test with. It poisoned them. Sometimes, the animals have such finicky requirements that we didn't know about, that they came back overnight to find half of them had died of the cold in a room temperature space. Some species had such specific nutrition requirements and caught deficiencies because one particular nut wasn't provided. Few people have ever just shoved them in boxes and force fed them to save a species.
Im not very much into wildlife or nature, but I stumbled upon this video and it caught my interest. Good story telling and a great production deserves a subscribe!
Then you absolutely should be interested! It's everyone's responsibility to care for them and protect the environment at all costs. I really hoping, that with everyone together we can save all endangered species and stop deforestation and poaching forever!
A big issue all around the world is stray cats are making many bird populations go extinct. It's really sad and a big reason why cats should not be let outside, they are considered an invasive species (Not counting Egypt where they're from). But cat people don't want to hear it, and even think it's funny that birds are being murdered for fun by cats.
This was an amazing video, thank you for producing it. I'm curious, what was the music used in the background? It's hauntingly beautiful, it perfectly suits this atmosphere!
Thank you, I hadn't thought about human destruction in a few hours and needed this. Seriously though, it's sad we will never see these again mostly because of humans.
what this isnt creative at all its just repeating information .. this wasnt much of a investigation ... justa few google searchs.... hard work .... he spent a hour doing this that snot hard work
I never knew about the toolache wallaby untill now and after doing some research found out that I live in the area they were themselves living,such a shame they're extinct as they were quite distinctive perhaps that's part of the reason why.
Really like the fact that you're now able to do consistent content for the channel, I really enjoy it and you deserve more subscribers. If I can suggest you a couple ideas for some videos what do you think about making one on animals known only by one specimen or only known by illustrations?
@@abigailbrookes7721 99% of the species to ever exist on earth have gone extinct, the majority of them without human intervention. Species which don't adapt to their environment cease to exist, it's the natural order of things. Trying to upset that balance seems "small brained" if you ask me.
@@abigailbrookes7721 What makes you think we're not just fulfilling our role in the natural order of things? For example, maybe the wolf's time is up and we're the designated species to do it.
I remember seeing the golden toad in pictures as a kid and thinking it looked majestic. The book didn’t make mention they were endangered since it was probably posted pre-1989.
Interesting fact found doing genetic studies the Barbary lion lineage did survive until today in certain european zoos don't know if if they are a pure lineage. wonderful video thought you would would like to know
I am so glad humans are finally snapping out of it and waking up about their destruction, i know it's still bad but it's getting better. Excellent video, happily subscribed. Thank you!
Unfortunately people will never learn.... humanity is still destroying the world and sadly many animals and plants are still on the verge of extinction.....😢
I think it’s interesting that we declare them extinct just because we can’t find them anymore yet we discover new species we’ve never seen before a lot.
Idk if you can see this but i was wondering if you could do a video with these 2 owl species that went extinct? The Whēkau aka the laughing owl which the last one was said to have been found dead on a road in 1914. And the other one i wanted you to cover was the Mauritius Scops Owl which was last recorded in 1837. I love bird species especially researching these older ones hopefully you can do a video on both of them soon.
Is that the project to bring back mammoths and let them graze in Siberia and knock down trees? If so, it's doomed from the start. They think that since they found mammoths in those cold climates that mammoths lived in those conditions. Mammoth fur is not for cold insulation to begin with. Mammoths did not produce the oils that make fur waterproof and insulated and Siberia was much warmer than today back then as mammoths stomach contents contained plants and seeds from Vegetation that's now located in the forested areas of southern Siberia. Like I say, it's doomed from the start.
A very bad idea, if you ask me. To start over a species with the DNA of 1-2 individuals? Welcome inbreeding! The IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) suggest we would need at least 500 effective individuals for any species to survive.
I’m going to suggest you make a video on the most recent extinctions, e.g this year or last year. I decided to have a glance on the extinction list after watching one of your videos and discovered that the Giant Atlas Barbel is the most recent animal to become extinct. Plants don’t also get much notice either so maybe do a video for them as well?

Sad to watch. Basically, the hen starved herself looking after 4 chicks and despite having plenty of food didn't eat enough herself. The male was a pet bird and she was a show bird (it wasn't a pairing that was supposed to happen, it just did as they were both rejects). His mate and chicks were all bigger then himself. I had a theory he just couldn't provide for them due to his size. He was half that of his babies and mate. Still sad to watch him, she was his second mate (first one I had to part with after she killed another hen, but he'd moved onto the big girl by then).
When animals make each other extinct it's fine, but God forbid a human-an animal-does it.
I learned never to tell people that you spotted any animal when I was a child. It wasn't rare, but i spotted a fairly young road runner when I was 8. I told my friend and eventually more kids gathered and started throwing rocks at it. Luckly, it was small enough to escape through the fence. I never shared any of my animal sightings with anyone after that day.
Lets hope some extinct species are still out there, but i would be afraid to tell anyone.
If the animal you’ve spotted is special, don’t ever share where you had seen it. You may trust the intentions of the person whom you tell, but you have no idea who else that person may tell, and what their intentions may be. It’s better to just be happy that you were lucky enough to have observed it yourself, and let the animal live on in peaceful anonymity.
@Maker.of.Mischief yes. I wish someone would have told me at 8 years old. People will hurt animals, plants, and insects for no reason. I've had people destroy plants I've planted and insects I've saved.
This comment made me sad but I'm glad you shared ❤ it's a harsh truth and lesson to be sure
During homelessness defraud victim travelling 100s of miles across sea land to get to a place for at least shelter. I spent my days power walking and hiking. As I rebuilt my life alone in Lincolnshire England I had a eagle sit with me on a log. A deer come over and bring her baby almost as if to say your free now. It’s over it will be ok. I still go back thete on my bike or on foot. Became a magical place to me I later read the eagles were reintroduced and thriving I was so happy for them
Yep, where I'm from it is straight up illegal to post pictures of rhinos that could give any sign as to their location, like background landscape features or signs. Also can't post the place name or location pin. Poachers act fast.
That Barbary Lion photo is so hauntingly beautiful
I moved where I live now about 23 years ago. At night during the summer, I would hear frogs croaking from the forest nearby. Today, I no longer hear them. I wonder what happened to them. I loved that sound. I could sleep listening to that sound.
The amount of chemicals big agro-business is dumping into the environment its killing off a lot of shit
Lawn care products as well.
It's was 18 years ago for me... I'd hear the bird chirping in the morning, frogs croaking at night now it's just dead silent whenever I come back home
Thats so...sad😢
Pollution and possibly ✨citrid fungus✨
The Bubal Hartebeest and Caribbean Monk Seal segments made me especially angry. They found a population of a species that had clearly become rare, and then they killed them.
I don't understand why these people couldn't have just taken the time to appreciate these animals for what they were.
Ikr it makes me think of people stranded on an island, finding a single pack of rations and instantly eating the whole thing only to throw up half of it lol.
Just stupid people.
I wonder if the idiot that shot 12 in one go ever stopped to consider what he was doing smh, humans are a cancer on this planet.
Three words: money
You gotta understand for a lot of people even the supposedly civilized educated countries on Europe compared to say a really poor colonial Africa the sheer concept of extinction was foreign
Surely god wouldn't let these animals go extinct, it's impossible mam could kill everyone of them, they just move further away into the wild ettc.
Hell even now people don't give a shit besides oh that's sad anyways...
Its fucking meddening

But that's only one word..🤷
Well this is depressing, especially the Carolina Parakeet. In the last 35 years the bird population where I live has fallen from healthy to almost zero.
I remember as a kid it was sometimes hard to talk on the phone (like you know - the rotary dial ones) because of the birds were so bloody loud. Now you cannot see a single one.
@@K8Stuff It's very sad. Birds cannot reproduce as fast as they are being killed in many different ways.
Help the wildlife in your own area.
Plant bushes and trees that produce flowers and fruits native to the area and for most seasons. Add feeding stations in winter.
Give them safe places to nest and shelter, especially from cats.
Make sure your garden is dark at night. Not just for birds, but for hedgehogs and lots of other small animals as well.
@@rogerwilco2 No thanks. I don't want virus carrying beasts infesting my garden.

Man will become lonely… before he himself becomes extinct
Literally it's just sad how everything is it just shows u how people got through back then all people today point out the bad when legit u legit could see the cosmos at night back then without light pollution overall more animals idk it was bad Ig but i think just the world in general gave them a reason to live especially seeing the galaxy at night that alone woulda made it worth it

Nah everything will be virtual in a couple of centuries

Alone in the wild. Those lions are still around in captivity.
This year three cubs were born at the zoo of Hannover. /watch?v=fD9DUyRHi88
No it doesn‘t know.. it‘s a freaking animal
Great video. As someone with a biology degree, I liked that it was factual and not based on drama, like I often see in videos made fir laypeople. Very interesting that there was a parrot native to the u.s.a. Thank you for the intelligent video. If I would have had this when teaching high school biology I would have played it for them. I subscribed.
As individuals we all wish to be remembered but for an entire species to go extinct and barley be known to me, let a lone remembered, is a tragedy. Thanks for honoring these extinct animals with your video!
They are never truly lost. From them new life forms will rise.
Thats life
😂 tragedy for who?
Well we lose about 150 species every day for all time. It's no big deal, just part of the sim. Been going on for billions of years on this rock - they come n go. We are here for such an infinitesimally short amount of time you really can't talk about anything Big Picture, let alone what a tragedy IS. But if it makes you feel better, the good news is there are thousands of species 👽 yet to be discovered under the 71% of earth yet to be explored i.e. the oceans. 👽
Over 99% of all species that have ever existed are extinct so...
The picture of the barbary lion is extremely beautiful. The vintage black and white photo gives it a mystique as if it's a mythical creature.
Do you mean the photo token from the plane?
Kinda heartbreaking this, seeing some species in their final documented photos. It's just sad, but I'm glad you put this together though. Because they all deserve to be immortalised as a reminder to our own savagery. That we caused many of these species to go extinct. When we could of just studied them from a respectable distance, but sadly that was too much to ask for, and people back then just wanted more. Showing another reminder to our own stupidity.
Indeed, humans can be incredibly stupid.

Your life or an animals,pretty easy choice.
Dont be naive enough to think they had the choice we have now.
@@zedantyorant Don't be naive? Sorry, which of those extinct animals was an existential threat to us when we wiped them off the planet through overhunting? 8 out of the 10 species in this video were simply hunted out of existence. Completely wiping parakeets off the North American continent was an us or them scenario? "Your life or an animals,pretty easy choice."? Because I'm seeing a lot of pictures of their corpses pinned to people's clothing as decoration and I'm having difficulty imagining a parakeet presenting any sort of threat to the rough and tumble, early European settlers of the Americas. On the other hand, I really appreciate you proclaiming your lack of intelligence on a public forum for all to see, so at least there's that.
@zedantyorant bro you're really acting like they didn't have massive farms of animals and crops. You're acting like they all were a human extinction level threat. Idiots man I swear.
8:09 this image is so haunting. Did the lion know he was the last? Was he going into the mountains to fade away? Or was he simply trying to escape his enteral enemy, man?
true its like it knows he's the last the way he's just unawhere not looking out just walking
Lone wanderer seeking its kind and it found them in death.
Not if you keep listening 😐😐
I was thinking the same.. he's as if gone cold towards the world.
And even in that wilderness man found Him...no wonder they will hunt that down it seems. Humans are just sick..
Extremely interesting and sad. I was struck by the simple beauty of those parrot specimens; they're more valuable than any gem, a precious and tragic reminder of what we owe to the natural world, and our responsibility as the species who can truly make a difference, one way or the other.
oh we're making a difference alright. by destroying earth lol. humans are trash, it's what we do.
Back when i was still young i used to chase butterflies and then at night i love the sight of fireflies. Now i rarely see a butterfly, same with fireflies, what happened to this beautiful world. We don't deserve this beautiful world.
The fireflies moved to my yard. They’re fucking everywhere 👍
I've noticed that about fireflies! The evening air used to sparkle with them when I was growing up in WV. Now, I'm surprised whenever I see one. God knows what we've done to the natural world with our pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, and air, water, & soil pollution.
I mean if you live in the city it’s gonna be pretty hard to see one
when i was a young child i used to see fireflies everywhere but now that i’m 16, i can’t see them anymore.
Maryland has a ton of Butterflies and Fireflies. Hell I still hear those very specific birds in the morning still.
Some died out somewhat naturally, but with the ones who died because of humans is just frustrating.
Most of them are dead by European
Its the cycle of life. Humans are not the only species that caused extinction of other species since life began.

11:23 BRUHHHHHHHHHH this has to be the biggest bruh moment. To kill something for science and "preservation" knowing they going extinct
I used to watch a movie called The Secret of The Seal. It's a very old anime movie and the main theme was the extinction of the Mediterranean seals or their supposed extinction. After doing some research, I'm sure the movie was about the Mediterranean Monk seals. This video reminded me of the movie when the Caribbean Monk seals were brought up.
My herpatology professor at one point worked in the lab of the guy who discovered golden toads. Acording to her he had big jars of ethanol containing hundreds of specimens of the things.

May your channel live and thrive, and may people come to understand the importance and beauty of the nature we still have.
Wow, it's haunting seeing these last known images of these extinct animals. So sad that humans have directly or indirectly caused so much damage to our world.
Yep, because humans cause droughts and in the case of the golden toads and gastric brooding frogs, the chytrid fungus is also caused by humans 🙄
anytime you feel sad about something like this, just remember, throughout earths VERY long history, there have been at LEAST 6 major extinction events where literally 99% of everything living went extinct.... life finds balance and a way, humans will one day be gone too, thats just the way "life" (ironically) goes
1:40 a lot of marsupials go into severe shock after chases - they've not evolved around endurance predators like wolves or wild dogs.
When i heard him say that 10 of them died i was like HOW TF DO YOU MESS UP LIKE THAT WHAT?? I guess this explains how they could accidentaly kill like 70% of them
Exactly. I’m wondering if they had just left those last 14 in the wild, they probably wouldn’t have become extinct
@@MoonSpinners they probably would have ngl
@@MoonSpinners Toolaches were less than a decade from extinction when that last ditch attempt at captive breeding happened. Nearly all their habitat was cleared for farmland, their joeys were being killed by feral foxes and trophy hunters were poaching the few remaining adults.
Martha died seventy-four years before I was born, on what would end up being my birthday. I've had a fascination with passenger pigeons ever since learning that. I'll be sure to check out your dedicated video on the subject.
As a kid in the early 1990s, I actually visited the place where Martha died: the Cincinnati Zoo.

You can almost see the loneliness and sadness of the last birds. It's as if they know they are the last. Can hardly imagine the desolation they must have felt
Just found your channel, enjoyed a few videos so far, and definitely subscribing. It’s truly sad to see what humanity has done to other species.
It's truly sad to see such a mindless comment about the topic, really. The vast majority of extinctions happened before human beings even existed. The living species that causes the most extinctions right now today isn't human beings. Most of the extinctions that happened even with human intervention had many other natural factors going on which aided in it happening. Most extinctions happening today are animals we never even discovered. Most extinctions happen as a result of pure force of natural reason. Human beings are themselves animals and an extension of nature so whatever we do is technically natural.
Humans aren’t the cause of all extinctions tho 😐
@@Yeah-wt1mu Not even the cause or even a factor in most of them, in fact.
It is those species fault for not being able to survive in the first place. Get better nerds

This makes me so sad knowing that we will never see those beautiful precious animals. And this extinction is ongoing due to humans.
Europeans*
@@jirojhasuo2ndgrandcompany745yeah because it’s into Europeans that over hunt and kill animals definitely not also the Japanese hunting whales and dolphins or the Chinese over hunting everything for traditional medicines which fuels the hunting of sharks rhinos and pangolins by the Africans so no it’s all people that have killed animals and it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect animals which many in Europe leading the charge to do so
@@jirojhasuo2ndgrandcompany745Just want to tag on Polynesians as well. It's fascinating, most traditional human lifestyles prevented extinction, because of course if your land loses its survival potential then you do, too. But because Polynesians travelled to a new island if one became depleted, and island species are often few in number, Polynesians would sometimes cause habitat destruction because they would feel no consequences. Meanwhile Europeans mass cleared forests for firewood, building materials and farmland, and just generally terraformed. Not to mention forcing their way of life on people in habitats where it did not sustainably fit.
And we’re next!

gee this was so sad just to think humans destroyed the seals instead of trying to bring them back makes me sick to my stomach there was only 5 buffalo's an they brought them back such a shame humans can be so curl.
Great compilation indeed. It is sad to see what we have done over the years to make these species become extinct. It is gut-wrenching.
99% of the species to ever exist on our planet have gone extinct. They were out-competed and out-adapted. We're just another link in the chain.

When I was 18 I worked at an animal reservation in Italy. They were there to provide safe haven to rescued exotic animals that were illegal shipped from Africa. But I didn’t realize that some of the animals there were extinct. There were two (male) Barbary lions and a couple of Quaggas.

Congrats on 5K subs!💕
Awesome video as always
This is a devastating thing to watch. I'm crying after the first photo. Thank you for making this. I wish there was a park/museum dedicated to the memory of extinct species, but more reverent than just a scientific exposition, and not focused on the horribleness of it, which requires no explicit mentioning, the goal being simply to honor species lost since human civilization began.
I’m seeing this at 8pm and I feel like their gonna haunt me for the rest of my life now

One correction - baji wasn't yet declared extinct (although sadly it very likely is...). In 2006 it was declared "functionally extinct", not extinct per say.
It's so wonderful to see some of the animals of earths past in photography. Mother nature is amazing.
Great video. Just a minor correction - the quagga photo was an individual at the London Zoo. The last known animal at the Amsterdam Zoo was apparently never photographed.
so then this is the last PHOTO of the animal. No correction needed as the title does not imply last Photo of the last known animal.

Loved and Subbed❤❤ I enjoyed this so much. Can’t wait to watch more of your content!
These photos are bone-chilling to me. It's hard for us as humans to even begin to visualize what it must be like to be the last surviving member of your species. Living out the remainder of your days, never knowing that when you die, there will never be another like you to walk this Earth again. That's heavy.
This is a great video. Very informative and visually impressive. Decent narration as well. But I couldn't finish it. Six minutes in I was completely heartbroken.
Its seriously wild how different we treat endangered animals now. Even when people where trying to help them back in the day, it sounds like they just shoved them in a box with some holes cut out and force-fed them dinner scraps lol.
I read a book by Jane Goodall about when humans intervened to save species and it worked (it's called Hope for the Animals and their World). It is still very common for captured groups of animals to suffer awful unfortunate tragedies that wipe them out quickly and they lose the whole sample, despite how well they are treated. In one example of bird, where the whole population got a disease, they had to play a gamble on whether the medicine that worked on a close relative would work on them, as they had no time or specimens to test with. It poisoned them. Sometimes, the animals have such finicky requirements that we didn't know about, that they came back overnight to find half of them had died of the cold in a room temperature space. Some species had such specific nutrition requirements and caught deficiencies because one particular nut wasn't provided. Few people have ever just shoved them in boxes and force fed them to save a species.
Live and learn I guess
Im not very much into wildlife or nature, but I stumbled upon this video and it caught my interest. Good story telling and a great production deserves a subscribe!
Then you absolutely should be interested! It's everyone's responsibility to care for them and protect the environment at all costs. I really hoping, that with everyone together we can save all endangered species and stop deforestation and poaching forever!
A big issue all around the world is stray cats are making many bird populations go extinct. It's really sad and a big reason why cats should not be let outside, they are considered an invasive species (Not counting Egypt where they're from). But cat people don't want to hear it, and even think it's funny that birds are being murdered for fun by cats.
Very informative and interesting.

I remember seeing the golden toad in pictures as a kid and thinking it looked majestic. The book didn’t make mention they were endangered since it was probably posted pre-1989.
Interesting fact found doing genetic studies the Barbary lion lineage did survive until today in certain european zoos don't know if if they are a pure lineage. wonderful video thought you would would like to know
I remember Gaddafi used to have some and I think the King of Morocco still has them.

No, we're not.
Unfortunately people will never learn.... humanity is still destroying the world and sadly many animals and plants are still on the verge of extinction.....😢
I think it’s interesting that we declare them extinct just because we can’t find them anymore yet we discover new species we’ve never seen before a lot.
Idk if you can see this but i was wondering if you could do a video with these 2 owl species that went extinct? The Whēkau aka the laughing owl which the last one was said to have been found dead on a road in 1914. And the other one i wanted you to cover was the Mauritius Scops Owl which was last recorded in 1837. I love bird species especially researching these older ones hopefully you can do a video on both of them soon.
The Dodo and the Woolly Mammoth is high on the list for upcoming de-extinction ! So fascinating ! I'm following Colossal and their work closely.
Is that the project to bring back mammoths and let them graze in Siberia and knock down trees?
If so, it's doomed from the start.
They think that since they found mammoths in those cold climates that mammoths lived in those conditions.
Mammoth fur is not for cold insulation to begin with. Mammoths did not produce the oils that make fur waterproof and insulated and Siberia was much warmer than today back then as mammoths stomach contents contained plants and seeds from Vegetation that's now located in the forested areas of southern Siberia.
Like I say, it's doomed from the start.
A very bad idea, if you ask me. To start over a species with the DNA of 1-2 individuals?
Welcome inbreeding!
The IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) suggest we would need at least 500 effective individuals for any species to survive.

I’m going to suggest you make a video on the most recent extinctions, e.g this year or last year. I decided to have a glance on the extinction list after watching one of your videos and discovered that the Giant Atlas Barbel is the most recent animal to become extinct.

Maybe recent last ten years.
