10 Most Amazing Extinct Animals

1. Tyrannosaurus Rex (extinct 65 million years ago)
The Tyrannosaurus Rex eating meat, one of the largest ground in all the ages, and the largest complete sample, FMNH PR2081 ("Sue"), measuring 12.8 meters (42 feet) long, and was 4.0 meters (13.1 feet) tall at the hips [ 3.] estimates the overall widely over the years, from more than 7.2 metric tons (7.9 short tons), [2] to less than 4.5 metric tons (5.0 short tons), [5] [6] with More recent estimates range between 5.4 and 6.8 metric tons (6.0 and 7.5 short tons) [4] [7] [8] [9] He said, Packard and others. (2009) test measures the overall appreciation of the dinosaur on elephants and concluded that the estimates are flawed dinosaur and produce excessive estimates and, therefore, can be weighed much less than what was estimated in the habit [10].


History of life

This has allowed several 2004.The sampling as Rex Dinosaur Event scientists to document ontogenetic changes in the species, age estimation, and determine how fast it has grown animals. It is estimated that the smallest known individual (LACM 28471, and "theropod Jordan") to be weighed 30 kg only (66 lbs), while the largest, such as FMNH PR2081 ("Sue") most likely weighed over 5400 kg (12000 £) . The analysis of tissue from the bones of Tyrannosaurus rex LACM 28471 was only aged between 2 years old when he died, while "Sue" 28 years old, the age at which you may be close to the limit for this species.

2. Cave Lion: one of the largest lions ever (extinct 2,000 years ago)

Cave lion, also known as Lion Caves European and Asian lion caves, is the common name for the extinct, felid, a large wild tiger Liu spelaea (or my spelaea), who lived from about 370 000 to 10000 years ago. Known from fossils and multiple examples of prehistoric art, and is characterized by a cave-ion large size (larger than the modern lion), rounded, protruding ears and a tufted tail, and perhaps a faint, like tiger stripes. While generally considered extinct strain of the Lion (Leo Tiger), is considered by some as a separate, cave lion



Cave Lion Tiger member of the genus, which includes the four big cats exist among its members: The Lion (Panthera Leo), and tiger (Panthera tigris), Jaguar (Panthera onca), and tiger (Panthera pardus)


3. Quagga: half zebra, half horse (extinct since 1883)

Quagga originally classified as individual species, Equus Quagga, in 1778. Over the next 50 years or so, and described many of the zebras and other nature explorers. Because of the considerable variation in the patterns of coat (ie, zebra are alike), and remained the classification with a large number of "species", and described, and no easy way to find out which of these species and the real, and that the strain, which were simply natural variability

ong before the sorting out of this mess, I have written in Quagga to extinction for meat and leather, and preserve feed for domesticated stock. And probably killed wild Quagga post in the late 1870s, and a sample of households in the post, mare, died on August 12, 1883 at the Artis Magistra zoo in Amsterdam. Because of confusion between different types of zebra, especially among the general public, and the Quagga become extinct before they realized that they seem to separate species



4. Thylacine: The Tasmanian Tiger (extinct since 1936

arnivorous marsupial known in modern times. Native to Australia and New Guinea, and is believed to be extinct in the 20 century. It is known as the Tasmanian Tiger (due to back in the scheme), also known as the Tasmanian wolf, and colloquial (or Tazzy) Tassie tiger or simply the Tamil Tigers. It was another member of the genus found her, Thylacinus, although he was found on a number of related species in the fossil record dating back to the early Miocene.

The Thylacine became extinct thousands of years the Australian mainland before European settlement on the continent, but survived on the island of Tasmania, along with a number of other endemic species such as the Tasmanian devil. Is blamed for the encouragement of intensive fishing is generally the date of extinction, but other factors may have the disease, and the introduction of dogs, and human encroachment on their environment. Despite being officially classified as extinct, reportedly still scenes.
 
 
5.  Irish Deer: the largest deer that ever lived (extinct about 7,700 years ago)

The Irish deer is a creature as large as the Moose, one of the era of the Ice Age. This shy, peaceful beast

Lives in temperate forests. In the figure, the Irish Elk is more like a cross between Moss and deer, and plant after a large majestic. Impressive spread of antlers to the width of ten feet, and hide them shaggy is to some extent.

6. Aurochs: a very large type of cattle (extinct since 1627)
 

The century 13th, was restricted to a cheaper 'to Poland, Lithuania, Moldova, Transylvania and East Prussia. Limited right to hunt large animals on any land to nobles and gradually to the royal family. As the number of residents of the cheapest, but stopped hunting the Royal Court is still required to provide guards for the birds open fields for grazing the cheapest and bird guards were exempted from local taxes in exchange for their service and a decree made poaching and cheaper, which is punishable by death. In 1564, he knew Gamekeepers of only 38 animals, according to survey the property. He died last cheapest recorded live, a female, in 1627 in a forest Jaktorów and Poland. I have picked up later in the skull by the Swedish army and now the property of Livrustkammaren in Stockholm.

In the 1920s two German zookeepers, the brothers tried to Heinz and Lutz Heck, the breed is cheaper to return into existence (see breeding back) from the local cattle that were their descendants. Their plan was based on the idea that species is not extinct as long as all its genes are still present in a number of people living. The result is a breed called Heck Cattle, 're-configure the bull', or 'Heck bull', which bears an incomplete resemblance to what is known about the physiology of cheaper land
 
 
7. Great Auk: largest of all auks (extinct since 1844)
 

Great Auk was 75 to 85 centimeters (30 to 33 in) tall and weighs about 5 kilograms (11 pounds), making it the largest member of the family alcid. The back of a black and white abdomen. The heavy black beak and hooked up with grooves etched in its surface. During the breeding season, and the Great Auk was a white patch above each eye. After the breeding season, lost the American University in Kosovo this patch, and instead put the tape of that white stretch between the eyes. The suites are 15 cm (5.9 in) long, which makes the bird fly. Instead, the American University in Kosovo, a strong swimmer, a feature they are used in fishing. The favorite prey of fish, including fish of the genus Atlantic herring and capelin, and crustaceans. Although flexibility in the water, and was clumsy on the ground. The main predators of the orca, white-tailed eagles and polar bears, and humans. Great Auk pairs mating for life. They nested in colonies too dense, and social development, and put one egg on bare rock. The egg white with brown streaking variable. Both parents incubated for about six weeks before the chicks hatched. And left the young auks nest site after two or three weeks, parents continue to care for them.

8. Steller's Sea Cow: the defenseless beast (extinct since 1768)

Sea cow  found near the coast of the Bering Sea from Asia, discovered in 1741 by the great nature of the type of lion George, who was traveling with the explorer Vitus Bering. The sea cow grew up to 7.9 meters (25.9 feet) long and weighed up to three tons, much larger than the manatee or dugong. It looked somewhat like a large seal, but it was a stout front two and a whale-like tail. According to the large lion, "the animal did not come out on the beach, but always live in the water. Skin black and dense, like the bark of an oak old ..., the Chairman of the ratio of the small body ..., it has no teeth, but only two of bones of white flat and one above, and the other at the bottom. " It was completely tame, according to the type of the great lion. Excavations indicate that the great sea lion-type cow formerly widespread along the Pacific coast of North, South and went to Japan and California. Given the speed with which the population has been eliminated the past, it is likely that the arrival of humans in the region is the cause of extinction in other places as well. There are still sporadic reports of marine animals such as cows from the area of the Bering and Greenland, and therefore it was suggested that he had survived from small groups of animals to this day. This is so far unconfirmed

9. Dodo: the archetype of extinct species (extinct since late 17th century)

The Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) was a flightless bird that lived on the island of Mauritius. Related to pigeons and doves, it stood about a meter tall (three feet), lived on fruit and nested on the ground. The dodo has been extinct since the mid-to-late 17th century. It is commonly used as the archetype of an extinct species because its extinction occurred during recorded human history, and was directly attributable to human activity. The adjective phrase "as dead as a dodo" means undoubtedly and unquestionably dead. The verb phrase "to go the way of the dodo" means to become extinct or obsolete, to fall out of common usage or practice, or to become a thing of the past.
