Top 10 Animals the Human Race Killed Off
The Top Ten
1 Quagga (Extinct 1883)
2 Carolina Parakeet (Extinct 1918)
Funny about that "extinction" thing. We've been seeing very similar birds in the Northeast for years. In fact, they've become a well-known nuisance for building their nests around transformers. Unless there's some other small parrot operating in these latitudes, it's by no means extinct.
3 Atlas Bear (Extinct 1870s)
4 Japanese Sea Lion (Extinct 1970s)
5 Falkland Islands Wolf (Extinct 1876)
6 Caribbean Monk Seal (Extinct 1952)
7 Zanzibar Leapard (Extinct 1990s)
8 Greak Auk (Extinct 1852)
9 Tasmanian Tiger (Extinct 1936)
Officially known as the Thylacine, this carnivorous marsupial was native to Tasmania, Australia, and New Guinea before it was declared extinct in the 20th century. Resembling a large dog with some feline traits, it was known for its distinctive stripes across its back and tail.
