  • These extinct animals are ones that I believe could still be alive. Regardless if they are extinct or alive, they are examples of animals in which conservation practices and de-extinction can possibly help save.

As a child the beach was littered with seahorse carcasses, and as I was a child, I thought that was natural. Now I have not seen a seahorse carcass in 30+ years and it makes me wonder if I was seeing a mass extinction back then. Any ideas Forrest?

    • @Annie_Annie__
      @Annie_Annie__ Před měsícem

      They’re not the US’s only native parrot.
      There’s a species called the green parakeet or the Mexican green conure that is native to the very southern tip of Texas.
      They’re different from the invasive feral green Quaker parrots but often confused with them.
      They’re incredibly bright green and so cute!
      I’ve had them in my yard a few times.

    The biologist holding the giant gecko looks devious and high at the same time

  • @drawinaminutewithdr.rajasa8861

    The stuffed big gecko being discovered in a museum after remaining unnoticed for more than a hundred years news makes me think, what if there were other such last and only specimens that got damage / eaten by pests / thrown away by janitors who thought they were replaceable!

    God if I could find a husband exactly like Forrest I would be so happy. Traveling the world exploring and having the time of our lives and finding extinct animals! How fun!
