This reminds me of a little ditty I wrote, thinking about the long search for "extinct" coelocanths.
Sing a song of coelocanths,
Long extinct old coelocanths;
Bones of ancient coelocanths
Sleeping in the rocks.
Brainy modern scientists
Dig for bones of coelocanths,
Paying native laborers
A pittance for their work.
Higher-earning fishermen,
Nets abulge with with coelocanths,
Howl in gustatorial rants:
Mmmmm
mmmm
good!
We eat em fried, we eat em poached,
And, pickled, dried, and smoked
We salivate for sushi as
We load em in our boats.
Oh the coelocanths, old coelocanths,
The paleontologists quest:
At lunch while sketching how they looked,
He spills some on his vest.

I had a scout troopin the philippines, Foreign troop 1 BSA and BSP.
We had camporee and had some pure Philippino units camp with us. The boys were expert with sling shots. It was explained to me that the reason there were so few birds on Luzon was because they were killed and eaten during the war and by 1966 had not yet recoverd
