On Tuesday September 11, 2001, another one of the three top sins of the universe
occurred. Our species, Homo sapiens, blatantly caused approximately 578 species
of the web of life to go extinct. This extinction rate equals one species of
life going extinct every 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Name 10 animal species that have gone extinct in the last 100 years.
Recent Extinctions
New Zealand Little Bittern Ixobrychus novaezelandiae
Auckland Island Merganser Mergus australis
Chatham Island Rail Rallus modestus
Laughing Owl Sceloglaux albifacies

Stewart Island Snipe Coenocorypha aucklandica iredalei
Little Barrier Snipe Coenocorypha aucklandica barrierensis
Chatham Island Bellbird Anthornis melanura melanocephala
South Island Kokako Callaeas cinerea cinerea
Drat! Someone who knows about the much higher rate of
island extinctions!
