Description
Discover the powerful and poignant stories of 11 extinct creatures in a globe-trotting historical guide. From the Great Auk, which became extinct in 1852; New Zealand’s Upland Moa, which disappeared c.1445; Stellar’s Sea Cow, last seen c.1768; to Ivell’s Sea Anemone in 1997; and the death in 2012 of Lonesome George, the last Pinta Island Giant Tortoise. Exploring each creature’s unique characteristics, the history of their discovery, and when and why they were lost to us. Insightful and thought-provoking, each species’ story is different and reflects the pressures affecting the natural world, while inspiring us to protect our natural heritage.
