11 Extinct Animals That Have Been Photographed Alive

Got tweeted this morning by GibsLong about the following article. 

Can I just say it is AMAZING?!  It’s written by Bryan Nelson and comes with photo credits at the bottom of the post. 

Just to give you a taste:

  • Tasmanian Tiger
  • Quagga
  • Passenger Pigeon
  • Golden Toad
  • Caribbean Monk Seal
  • Pyrenean Ibex
  • Bubal Hartebeast
  • Javan Tiger
  • Tecopa Pupfish
  • Syrian Wildass
  • Baiji River Dolphin

I can’t imagine that I have never in my life seen some of these fascinating animals.  And the one or two that I have seen, my children with never get to see except via photo.  At least we have the photos, right?  And at least we have documentation about these incredible animals.  So beautiful!  Just think of all the animals out there that we don’t have photos of that have become extinct.  Sad that we missed out on their beauty and what they had to offer the world.

Each animal has a photo, fascinating information about each and links to more information.  You do NOT want to miss this.  You really don’t want to miss this one.  Kudos to Bryan Nelson for writing such a cool article!
