“I can’t hink of a single animal that has become extinct in my near 60 years on this rock. Maybe there are but I haven’t heard about it.”
The Passenger Pigeon was only a little before your time, and mine.
While not yet totally extinct, the Northern White Rhinocerous is down to ONE breedable adult, but her father was the last male, and he died in 2018.
