There are a huge number of living creatures on Earth, even the most remote and inaccessible corners. Most of them have existed for centuries, experiencing natural disasters, recovering or evolving. As new territories are developed by man, his actions inevitably lead to changes in the natural habitat of representatives of the local fauna. Due to rash, and in most cases of frankly barbaric actions, there is a death of animals, birds and fish. In some cases, all representatives of a certain type die, and he receives the status of an extinct.
Stellers of Cormlan
An ignorant bird living in the Commander Islands. Differed in large sizes and coloring of feathers with a metal tint. Lifestyle is sedentary, the main type of food is fish. Data about the bird is very scarce due to a very limited habitat.

Caucasian bison
A large animal living in the mountains of the Caucasus until the beginning of the 20th century. Was completely destroyed as a result of uncontrolled poaching hunting. Scientists and enthusiasts were laid for a lot of works to restore the population of the Caucasian bruise. As a result, at the moment, there are hybrid animals in the Caucasus Reserve, as similar to the exterminated bruise.
Mauritian Chubly Parrot
Large bird living on the island of Mauritius. Most of other parrots differed in an enlarged head, crest and dark color. There are assumptions that the chubby parrot did not have outstanding flight qualities and spent most of his time on trees or land.

Kvagga was successfully tamed by a person and was used for cattle grazing. Since the 80s of the 20th century, attempts have been made to withdraw a hybrid animal, as similar as possible to Kvagaggu. There are positive results.
Tour
This is a primitive bull with horned horns. The last representative of the species died in 1627. Was distinguished by a very strong physique and great physical strength. With the advent of cloning technologies, there is an idea to create a clone of a tour based on DNA mined from bones.
Tarpan
There were two subspecies of Tarpan forest and steppe. Is a “relative” of modern horses. Lifestyle social, as part of the herd. Successful work is currently underway to remove the most similar animals. For example, in Latvia, there are officially about 40 similar individuals.

Land tortoise from the Galapagos Islands. Has a life expectancy for more than 100 years in the wild and almost 200 when maintaining in artificial conditions. This is one of the largest turtles on a planet with a mass that reaches 300 kilograms.
Martinic Ara
The bird lived on the island of Martinik and studied very little. The only mention of it is dated the end of the 17th century. Not a single fragment of the skeleton has still been found! A number of scientists believe that the bird did not represent a separate species, but was a kind of feat of blue-yellow ara.
Golden toad
Live in a very narrow area of tropical forests of Costa Rica. Since 1990, it has been considered an extinct look, but there are hopes that individual representatives of the species are still preserved. It has a bright golden color with a reddish tint.
Other Black Book animals
Bird MOA
A huge bird, up to 3.5 meters high, living in New Zealand. MOA is a whole detachment in which there were 9 types. All of them were herbivores and ate leaves, fruits, as well as shoots of young trees.

Passenger pigeon
Representative of the Golubny family, characterized by the ability to make nomads over long distances. The wandering pigeon is a social bird holding on flocks.

Sairy wolf
Mammal animal living in Australia. Was considered the largest of marsupial predators.

Heather grouse
A bird, the size of a chicken that lived on the plains of New England until the 1930s. As a result of a whole complex of causes, the population of birds decreased to a critical level. To save the species, a reserve was created, but forest fires and severe frosty winters led to the death of all heather grouse.

Taiwanese smoky leopard
This is a small predator weighing up to 20 kilograms, which spent most of his life on the trees. The last representative of the species was seen in 1983. The cause of extinction was the development of industry and deforestation. Some scientists believe that in certain territories of the habitat, several individuals of this leopard may have been preserved.

Chinese river dolphin
How the species was open relatively recently in 1918. A typical habitat Chinese rivers Yangtze and Qian. Differs in poor vision and developed echolocation apparatus. Dolphin declared extinct in 2017. Attempts to find surviving individuals were unsuccessful.
Epiarnis
An uncleaning bird living in Madagascar until the middle of the 17th century. Currently, scientists periodically discover the eggs of these birds that have survived to this day. Based on the analysis of DNA obtained from the shell, it can be said that epiarnis is the ancestor of the modern kiwi bird, which, however, has much smaller sizes.

Conclusion
In many cases, the death of the fauna can prevent. According to average data, every day on the planet dies several species of animals or plants. In some cases, this is due to the natural processes that occur as part of the evolution. But more often the predatory actions of a person lead to disappearance. Only a careful attitude to nature will help stop the expansion of the Black Book.
