They’re still trying to decide wether its a pterodactle or a dragon, but its defenitly a dragon! I mean, what pterodactle has a flap like an alligator? And eats rock. (I think it was coal) Do pterodactles have four legs? I didn’t think so!

then if there is something in the soil why not put the soil in the container and let the Giant Gippsland Earthworm go into it while transporting it??

The picture of the Bermuda Petrel is incorrect, it shows a Tern of some kind.

“Only 224 birds are known to exist now â€“ it was 225, but a Department of Conservation employee accidentally shot one.”

I love irony.

I read somewhere (possibly on Mentalfloss)that the last Tasmanian Tiger died in the zoo after it was left out at night, and died of exposure. That seems awfully careless of the zookeepers.

I was noticing that a lot of these animals have an extremely small number of existing specimens, and it brought to mind another flightless bird, the kakapo.

There’s only 91 of them!

They kind of remind me of those birds from Final Fantasy, but a bit smaller.

Recently (2005), they also found that the ivory-billed woodpecker wasn’t extinct:
