- We're in the middle of a mass extinction, and many iconic animals have disappeared over the last few hundred years.
But what if they're still out there, just waiting to be found again?

Sorry about my terrible audio quality. I'm still learning how to make videos. :)
Pinta island tortoise, Maui Akepa, Ivory-Billed Woodpecker, Montane Monkey-Faced Bat, Alcorn's Pocket Gopher, Wondiwoi Tree-Kangaroo, Thylacine, Tasmanian Tiger, Japanese Wolf, Javan Tiger, Formosian Clouded Leopard
Because of it’s singularity in the animal world, particularly of marsupials, I dearly hope the Thylacine has held on against all odds. This animal has captured my interest and imagination for many years now. Although I live a half a world away, no one would be more excited than myself to learn that it still exists somewhere in the wilds of Tasmania.
Guarantee there’s a dozen biologists out there who would literally, I mean literally, shit their pants if they found thylacine alive. Are you prepared to shit your pants sir?
@@Ps3luvr260 I think poopy pants would be a small price to pay to bring this fascinating animal back from the brink of extinction. I’ve always felt robbed of it. What a loss! What a hit we took with this one.
Hope you do well in Harvard and enjoy the experience without acquiring too much debt along the way. Me, I hope to shit myself someday before I die. 😮
Yeah especially with Forest Gallant's claims that park rangers have sworn to have seen it, along with the apparent lack of trail cameras gives me hope of their continued existence
Dear lord in heaven I will be so happy if Thylacine(Tasmanian Tiger) Survived extinction cause I would love to see one in person.
We also shot all the Tasmanian Aboriginals alongside shooting all the Tasmanian tigers.
PNG. It's the thylacines only hope.
I sincerely hope that all the species on this list are still alive. Breaks my heart any time a species is lost, no matter the cause.
It is heartbreaking and unfortunately, most are likely lost forever. The cause being our own ignorance, greed and stupidity. The way we have treated these irreplaceable, beautiful creatures is ridiculously unfair and cruel. 🥺😥😭💔
the tasminantiger may actually be still alive. there have been credible ctings of them. and a austrailan university was also looking for them
The carelessness of the treatment of Tasmanian tigers and Japanese wolves is really unfortunate.
I learned that a few weeks ago there was an article saying they have figured out that virtually all the Japanese breed of dogs originated from the Japanese wolf and work on that is ongoing.
Great the Japanese wolf went extinct in 1907 so I hope what you told me works
I've heard of sightings of Thylacines, I hope they're true, what an amazing and unusual creature.
The evidence is not supportive of thylacines not being extinct. But, hopefully they are still grasping to life.
Hoax
@@windows7professional565 Could be, or maybe misidentification. The Smithsonian has some pickled Thylacine young, might be able to get DNA and clone them.
The number of thylacine sightings is incredibly high and there have been some thermal footage of canine-like animals that just don’t behave or move like actual canids and have tracks that are different with a side dewclaw.
@@indridcold8433 i disagree there have been namy siting of them. from people who know what they look like etc..
there was a show called extinct or alive. he had 2 shows trying to find them. and a australian universtiy was or still is looking for them also
Makes me angry on how mankind kills and then when there’s hardly any animas left they start crying on how and why… or try to resurrect them back
well, the people killing the animals and the one sad that they are killed are rarely the same people...
Go back in time and tru living without a purpose and a life lol This is how life was. The past shaped our future. So grow something
Mankind tends to be a short-sighted animal. Many back then didn’t think about the future beyond their lifetime, thinking that what happened now and what they did within their lifetimes was most important to them, while also treating resources as endless or continuously replenishing even with increased exploitation. A lot of people didn’t realize that extinction as a scientific concept was even possible until the 18th and 19th centuries.
@@quintonnarcisse6425 Ah, yes, mankind tends to be a short-sighted animal, unlike the aardvark, who prepared for climate change and mass extinction /j
To be fair it’s slightly unfair to blame all mankind… these scientists had nothing to do with the extinction.
I desperately want to believe that the Thylacine is still out there. They’re such fascinating and beautiful animals.
I saw the woodpecker in florida near lakeland at a swampy park. It was about 1993. It made a dinosaurish call, that made me look up and around. We were in a boat. Great view :)
Saddle creek park! Thats the name. Lots of gators
The ivory bill? They’re usually confused for other smaller species that look just like it. Anyways I think instead of looking for them we should focus all efforts on saving the still-living and highly highly endangered Imperial woodpecker, the largest woodpecker in history. If anything we can introduce them to the historic habitats of the ivory bill.
Can say for certain that it was a pileated… the Ivory is extinct, a woodpecker just doesn’t get seen in 80 years when the country is one of the most populated on earth.
The USA is not one of the
Most populated countries on earth. The amount of wild country in America is huge and as a matter of fact America is much less densely populated than it used to be. Yes it may have a bigger population now but that population is concerned reared in cities and suburbs
@@BigJFindAWay China is like 10 times more populated- around the same size and has more free land… yet we still can say for sure that their clouded leopards is extinct. We can also say the same for some of their extinct bird species.
This is a terrible argument- you also forgot that the ivory billed woodpecker has a relatively small range compared to other American woodpeckers. Not to neglect the fact that their have been countless searches, which have all failed. It’s extinct…
Also cavities don’t move… regardless of if the bird is hard to see because it’s extremely shy that doesn’t change the fact that it would still need to create cavities… how come none have been found? How come no sound has been recorded?
This is just the black panthers of ivory billed woodpeckers… regardless of the fact that melanism doesn’t have exist in pumas- Americans still claim that giant black panthers are living through the USA.
@@Just_shush_now Its actually harder to spot a bird, than to spot a bigger animal that is supposed to be extinct.
If there were females, George would have been the best qualified to find them.
Not necessarily, I mean he was easily distracted by females of other tortoise species after all...
@@Amy_the_Lizard I think the expression is 'any port in a storm' 😂👍 I had a female pet Tortoise when I was a kid. One morning i checked her and she was mating with a male, we advertised to find the owner of the mystery male. When we finally found the owner, we discovered that he had walked for about 2 miles to locate the female. He must have climbed fences, crossed ditches and made his way through a busy town to find her. The owner felt sorry for him and let him stay with the female. I don't know how he did it, i guess he just followed his nose. 🤷
Life has long ceased to surprise me, but it still constantly amazes me.
Great video it was fun. I'm holding out for the thylasine.hope they find one.
This is a great video, thanks!
All dislikes are from CCP bots for having the audacity to correctly call Taiwan a country
I know Taiwan is part of china but…. I kinda think of Taiwan as independent…. (Lol Taiwan have CZcams but that’s not relevant)
@@lilactheleafyboi it’s like thinking of Wales as independent… we allow them to think of that but truly no one but the Welsh believes that… 😂
Great video by the way
The Thylacine is the animal on this list that o want to still be alive the most. I even wrote an essay on the subject once in high school
7:13 this face is trying to say : if I'm still alive, I will be your worst nightmare
Are you going to make more videos? This one was good. 😎🤙😊
You only skimmed over this one, but the Imperial Woodpecker has always intrigued me.
I heavily doubt any of these are left. Rather than focusing on desperately trying to find things our mistakes destroyed, we should focus on things we KNOW are still alive that need help
I highly agree. I really don’t get all the resources people put into finding the extinct ivory billed woodpecker when the larger and critically endangered Imperial woodpecker needs all the help it can get.
you might want to rething the tasmanian tiger. there are shows and actually univeristies over there who believe they are still alive and many sitinigs from people who know what they look like
@@kathleemcallister they are a large animal who has been looked for extensively for multiple decades without a shred of proof it’s still out there. People are just desperate for it not to be gone
@@solgerWhyIsThereAnAtItLooksBad hint are you aware just how auatrila is????? thousands ofmiles of land etc.. with nobody.
@@kathleemcallister except there is 0 evidence of them existing on the mainland past 3500 years ago. They were called Tasmanian for a reason
Undoing nature’s work is folly
Great video yet so sad at the same time :(
I hope the Caspian Tiger is still extant.
Extant?
@@goodputin4324 Extant is the opposite of Extinct. I think.
@@charlottemacdonald7116 the opposite of extinct is exist
@@goodputin4324 no extant is just a fancier way of saying still alive
@@Skyypixelgamer disagree. Exist is fine
I kinda have a feeling that some people have really seen these creatures even today, and are keeping silent because they know what humans are like and what they'll do....
It is so sad how many amazing animals have gone extinct! 😢
A “hit home” video idea could be “animals that have gone extinct in my lifetime” and “animals that will go extinct in my lifetime (unless something drastically changes)”
Great (depressing) ideas!
on that map of the galopagos it showed that the fernandina or phantastica was extinct that now not true as they have been rediscoverd.
I hope the Tasmanian Tiger is still alive
Nah
I am from Java island and I have been hearing stories of Javan tiger sightings
The Pinta Island tortoise does still exist just not in pure form so now they’re breeding the hybrids back in order to create a tortoise that is as much Pinta Island as possible.
That’s what this dude literally said, they’re making efforts to selective breed it back into existence
There are historic accounts of what could only be the Haast’s Eagle in NZ, which was supposed to be extinct well before humans arrived to the islands. Probably totally extinct now, but it seems like it survived 10s or hundreds of thousands of years past what we thought.
I'm not sure what you re talking about. The Haast's eagle is thought to have gone extinct in the 1400s, shortly after the arrival of the Maori.
@@eljanrimsa5843 I think the Maori ate most of the Haast's eagle's food which were apparently several different species of moa.
@@eljanrimsa5843 Fascinating. I find one potentially credible account of a Haast's Eagle in the 1880s -- not proven by any means, much doubted, but from a respected naturalist (Douglas) who had studied with Haast himself.
The Haast’s Eagle is more than likely gone. When the Māori wiped the Moa out, the Eagle followed soon after.
Haast's Eagle went extinct soon after the Maori hunted most of the moa to near extinction, around 1500. Not sure why you think it went extinct 10k+ years ago. There *are* some credible little bush moa accounts, all the way up until the late 1800s and early 1900s though.
If you say the megalodon, I swear to God.... *watches video* Thank you for not doing that.
Yep, lmao people don’t understand why that animal couldn’t physically be alive.
this is absolutely amazing I love learning about animals on the cusp of extinction or actually extinct
Legend
In addition to the Javanese tiger, hopefully still alive. Another sub spices of tiger hopefully still alive the Caspian tiger, more likely in Iran they rumored to be alive. However it's been over 40 years since the last sightings of either spices.
As for the Balinese sub spices, highly doubtful since it's been nearly a century since it was found alive in the wild. Most were kept in circus for entertainment purpose. Sadly no known Balinese tiger have been kept in captivity.
sorry, was that tree kangaroo really called the Wonderboy Tree Kangaroo?
I'm having unfortunate tenscious d flashbacks.
Update in 2024. Genetic evidence from a hair collected in 2019 has proved conclusively to have come from a Javan tiger! There’s at least one still out there!!
Great video! Fun that the Ivory Billed Woodpecker is still around officially now.
I can use this for the Fontrunner 7 class hahaha
I heard and saw an ivory-billed woodpecker in the summer of 2018.
i hope that every species on the list are still alive, its really sad how the birds died, including the others, so, why not just bring them back?
Damn seeing my country fully red in that first map. It is a bit of a yikes here in NZ in terms of how many animals we've lost. I think only Hawaii beats us out really. Hopefully we can hang on to the species we still have!
Lmao… If no one in New Zealand had a car then no animal would go extinct… you guys go mad on the road kill! 😂
Including the Korean leopard and tigers as well.
Wow!
i really hope kauai oo is still alive or can be revived
If these animals are not extinct, they will be extremely soon. It is not often a super rare animal is saved from extinction.
Not completely true- it seems ornithologists are actually doing pretty well making sure bird species don’t go extinct.
Especially the passenger pigeon
Can't even say this type of tortoises name
What the
there still alive
! Hooray
Amazing do more pretty please
I like painting Island Florida
At 13:39 lmao a doge spoiling the fun
All of them
I have a feeling that human population growth will be less than exponential in the near future.
I think your sentiment is correct.
Video is done well enough, but please reevaluate your audio setup. Subscribed.
I once saw a huge woodpecker like that but it was prolly the other
Or it may have been an Imperial Woodpecker, which is the largest woodpecker ever. They are highly endangered so we should really focus our research and resources on them instead of chasing the extinct ivory bill.
I keep thinking “yeah there’s about as much chance of finding these things alive as there is of finding big foot.” But then I remember the Tree Lobster and that gives me hope.
That said, imagine if all the goons looking for bigfoot were looking for things like the thylacine instead… would we find them? Or at least get confirmation that they’re gone forever?
It’s about drive it’s about power we stay hungry we devour put in the work put in the hours and take what’s ours
I am convinced that the Tasmanian Tiger still exists. Interviews with park rangers and people who have visited the Tasmanian outback have heard and recorded the unique "yip" of the animal and have found fresh paw prints that have been verified to belong to them as well. Rangers have reported seeing them roaming around at night and recent trialcam footage shows one bounding around happily! Others have been photographed and positively identified as a Thylacine. I think they stay out of way and live very remotely because they are wary of humans and what their ancestors endured. In other words, they've gotten smarter and the small population of the animals have learned to hide themselves away from us nasty humans.
Dream on. Im 99% certain they extinct. Love to be wrong.
I am sorry my friend, but I think they are gone.
@@beneficent2557 Me thinks ye be wrong, my doubtful friend! 😉 (seriously, who the f*ck really knows? I'm just an optimist! 😁)
Those photos weren’t positively ID’d the only scientist the photos were given to immediately said the photos weren’t TT’s.
My problem with those big animals, is that they are hard to miss, so we actually need to get more confirmed sightings than we actually have. For smaller animals like birds i understand they might not so easily to find, but for a Tiger or a Wolf, i find i really unlikely they are still alive.
Don't forget Tasmian Tigers already neared extinction before Australia was colonized (Since it lived mainly on the Mainland of Australia), meaning they might actually have been affected by the climate change or they lost the habitat fight against the Dingo.
I think that it is fairly safe to say that the Ivory Billed Woodpecker is extinct. We probably will never see it in the wild ever again.
Im still holding out for the Thylacine 🤞somewhere out there... bet!
The final captive thylacine was name benjamine
Let's have some facts.
First - A mass extinction is usually defined as a loss of about three quarters of all species in existence across the entire Earth over a "short" geological period of time. Given the vast amount of time since life first evolved on the planet, "short" is defined as anything less than 2.8 million years
Second - The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assesses roughly 3 percent of described species and identified 16,928 species worldwide as being threatened with extinction, or roughly 38 percent of those assessed.
Third - Scientists have identified about 1.5 million species but estimated the total living species at 8.7 million.
Fourth - There are about 18,000 new species discovered each year. Other known species previously believed to be extinct are also rediscovered.
Fifth - The rate of human population growth actually peaked in 1968 supported by the Green Revolution in agriculture. While still growing in absolute numbers the rate has leveled off. As development spreads around the world the fertility rates have fallen. Eurasia is rapidly aging and the birth rate in North Africa is falling dramatically. About 2050 (only 29 years away) the world human population will begin to fall precipitously.
Good! We're already overpopulated, so the fall in birth rates should bring us back to a more reasonable level that's easier to support!
'' The birth rate in North Africa is falling dramatically ''
European Far Right : '' Hey! You're not supposed to say that! ''
@@Amy_the_Lizard Yes I am happy about that too! Hopefully we can set aside more space for these awesome creatures and put more resources into helping the highly endangered species.
Why on earth would anybody want to introduce the mosquito anywhere?

Does that mean they might be rediscovered in the far future?
Yes!, in fact the pocket gopher was rediscovered in South Africa in November 2023
Because the female tortoise were gone all male and female were gone and geroge was the last pinta island tortoise

"Unique species" is a tautology and the Pinta Island tortoise i.e. Lonesome George* was just a variety since 17 presumably fertile hybrids exist. To objectively identify a species the minimum bar is the production of infertile hybrids e.g. mules viz. donkey and horses are distinct species. The old-fashioned Victorian eyeball determination of species is as obsolete as Darwinism itself.
*Lonesome George failed to produce fertile eggs when he was mated with other tortoises, but this was probably just an anomaly.
10:30 map is outdated and missing points from Perth West Australia, along the Great Eastern Highway and out past Kalgoorlie.
A distance of about 700kms by road. They most certainly are not extinct, as a female and pup, have been filmed a few years ago, near Wooroolloo meat factory.

I feel like if 2 extinct creatures was filmed more people would know about it

But why why????
I saw the video of the Ivory Bird Woodpecker on the local news here in Arkansas in recent years. The scientists who are bird experts are saying they are not extinct while another group of scientists who are not bird experts say they are extinct. What I saw was the woodpecker with the white feathers, and not what the sciencetists that said they are extinct.
Number 11. Mr Snuffleupagus.
The bulk of confirmed sightings of Mr Snuffleupagus are on Sesame Street. Mr Snuffleupagus hunter, Noel Lyfe, said he has spoken to a local resident (Mr B Berd) who claims to have seen the creature on multiple occasions. He is confident they'll have a confirmed sighting, "very soon." Wow!

If you are reading this, check out the Carolina Parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis) it lived in Appalachia, and was one of the only Parrots to live in North America. Scientists believe it was poisonous (not venomous) .. When one was injured or hurt the whole flock would surround it on the earth, hunters would shoot one, and all of them would land beside it, trying to protect it. Then the hunters would just kill them all. I don't believe it is still out there, but was amazing.
I've never gotten involved in conspiracys and theory's of extinct animals being alive, but the thylacine is the only animal I believe is still alive and I mean like there's so many captures as well
West Papua, not Indonesia
Technically a province in Indonesia...
What's wrong with people
Saola
I had also noted that the Caspian Tiger, the Bali Tiger, the Kisuala Lemur, the Lord Howe Stick Insect, the Malagasy Dwarf Hippo, the Hokkaido Wolf, the Japanese Otter, the Falkland Island Wolf, the Southwest North American Jaguar, and the Eastern Puma were still around.
Others I have noted that are still alive, the Zanzibar Leopard, the Javan Grey Lutung, the Grey Surilli, the South China Tiger, the Anatolian Leopard, the Bay Cat or Red Panther, the Vietnam or Silver-Backed Mouse Deer, the Passenger Pigeon, the Pagas Island Macaque, and the Saola, are still around.
Even the Common Macaque or Monkey, the Queen of Sheba's Gazelle, the Sand Gazelle, the Syrian or Persian Wild Ass, the Bluebuck, the Indo-Chinese Lesser One-Horned Rhinoceros, the Przewalski's Wild Horse, the Tarpan, the Onza, and the Barbary Lion are still roaming somewhere in the wild.
The Giant Orangutan (Gigantopithecus species) likely were still around only up to 1990.
I believe the Thylacine, the Thylacoleo, the Meglodon Shark, and the Coelacanth are (actually, already) extinct since the Pleistocene Period of the Dinosaur Era. (*these were once thought to be allegedly alive)
I honestly hope that the Caspian tiger is still extant and holding on.
Coelacanth aren't extinct. It's quite rare but there are multiple sighting in Sulawesi Island, the natives called it "Ikan Raja Laut" or translated as Sea King Fish, even my uncle as a fisherman in North Sulawesi back in 2002 managed to catch one and released it back to the sea as the locals believed that killing Ikan Raja Laut might giving you a bad luck. There are no pictures of it but the event was witnessed by 12 other fisherman and I actually meet 3 of them and they're telling the same story.
Scientists already made a research and found that the existing coelacant live in Indonesia and African seas.
@@noustrant Yes, and there's two confirmed species.
The thylacine definitely didn’t die out when the dinosaurs were around the last thylacine died in the 1920’s the thylacines on mainland Australia did die out a while back though (I believe a few thousand years ago).
I believe they found some Lord Howe's insects on a very remote mountain side and the area was rat free so they decided to kill off all the rats on that island and have been breeding the bugs and increasing their range. Their preferred plant food also is rare too.

All of these animals are still alive we haven’t found all the world yet so they are all alive:)

Have you heard the teachings of the Catholic Church? Evolution is not only proven true, but God designed us over time through it. God has many wonders and he works in mysterious ways in nature. The creation story is mostly a lesson and not to be taken fully literally.
@@chewy99. The creation story in the Bible is hardly two pages long and includes the moral tale of Adam and Eve, which should be read as an allegory about the evolutionary inception of sentience. Then, the Book swiftly moves on to some early and mythical genealogy in order to introduce its true subject, morals. It simply had to start from the beginning, hence, "B'reishith".
I really don't understand these religious types who hyperventilate about this to the point of denying what their eyes can see and their hearts can feel, such as the very obvious relatedness of all Primates.
Besides, the creation story's sequence, while schematic and extremely brief, is basically vindicated by Science, even fleetingly mentioning the "great lizards", yes, these two very words! Who do these "anti-Darwinian" loudmouths think they are? How dare they determine the actual duration of one, or six, of God's creation days? Isn't presumptuousness a sin?

The Ivory billed woodpecker is still alive. I filmed one on a camcorder. My uncle had these 3 huge pine trees near the roadside in his front yard. His house is on the bottomland of Nonconnah Creek. It borders a swampish area called Ensley Bottoms near the TVA (Allen) steamplant. A vast tract of bottomland. Going there frequently to check on me mom, noticed the bark on the 3 huge pines was falling off, about 1/4 was bare. Happened to have my camcorder handy pulling in one day, heard a woodpecker, then what sounded like a child’s toy whistle. I froze. An ivorybill! Remembered I had the camcorder. I crept around that tree for 20 minutes catching fleeting glimpses then caught site of it flying off on the backside of the tree. Called the TN Wildlife Resources folks they came looked at the tape “maybe so maybe no” and you could clearly hear the tin whistle call in one of. They acted like “eh....no biggie”. That bottom land is where ones at I betcha. BUT it’s full of cottonmouths, copperheads, possibly rattlesnakes, gators that have made there way up the Mississippi and god knows what. They, the colleges, wasted untold money
Wandering the Cache River basin 65 miles west; they could been spending time plodding thru the bottomland here 20 minutes from Beale St and stayed at the Peabody instead of a bedbugs infested craphole moe-tells with outhouses....idiots.
Yeah, I saw a video of the bird on the news here in Arkansas of the bird in recent airs. I disagree with what one group of scientists who are more Zoologists and bird expert scientists. The Bird scientists experts said they are not extinct.
