Other Extinct Creatures
Rare & Extinct Creatures: Learn about:
The Warrah, a wolf-like predator that evolved on the Falkland Islands independent of any related species. The Quagga, a yellowish-brown zebra with stripes only on its head, neck and shoulders native to desert areas of the African continent until it was exterminated in the wild in the 1870s. The Thylacine, a marsupial related to kangaroos and also known as the marsupial wolf or marsupial tiger. Resembling the placental wolf, its head was longer and its legs proportionately shorter. Its similarity to wolves and dogs is an example of convergent evolution. Also, Dodos, The Great Auk, The Elephant Bird, and the Giant Moa.
