Footage from 1933 of the last known surviving Thylacine, commonly called the Tasmanian Tiger.
But there are dozens of other creatures that have disappeared over the last 150 years.
Thetarpan, a free-ranging horse subspecies of the Eurasian steppe, met a similar fate.
The most heartbreaking, however, are those whose likenesses were recorded in high quality color images.
Such is the case of the Western Black Rhinoceros who went extinct in 2011.
We can’t change the past, but we can always do something about the future.
