<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">And here i come again with the tale of the amazing almost extinct animals, this time i am so interested in discussing the america's Spirit Bear, they say it is only about 400-1000 of them left in the jungle in the central and north coast of British Columbia, Canada. I first lay my eyes on these beautiful creature when watching this amazing TV Program from National Geographic Wild called Untamed Americas. Their species have a real name called Kermode Bear, but is often called spirit bear particularly to the Native tribes of Alaska, most likely because of the brighter color of the fur they have. When encountering with one of this bear, we will surely misjudge them as polar bear, because of the white or cream-coloured coats they have, and also the fact that them being one of the more amazing and almost extinct animal, especially in the bear community. This Spirit Bear is genetically different from other kinds of bear, it has a white fur and a cuter face in my honest opinion, you could check them out soon.</span><br />

During certain months, salmon is plentiful in the rivers throughout the Kermode range; although, human activity in some locations has harmed salmon populations.</span><br />

I have always liked Jakub Vagner, the extreme angler from Czech Republic, he is best known for his television series Fish Warrior, shown on National Geographic Channel. And it was this television series when i first saw this living dinosaur, the white sturgeon. They are literally magnificent, they said this creature mostly lived their life in the ocean, that they only come to the freshwater to spawn, they used to come and spawn a lot more often than today, it is said they come more rarely but spawned more eggs each time, everyone hopes that could balance the changes, but the truth is far below all's expectation, they are now on the brink of extinction, what's more sad is that it is not easy to find a full grown up white sturgeon, because it will need decades for a sturgeon to reach its maximum physical appearance, which is about 20-feet.</span><br />

Other sturgeon will spend most of its time in a marine environment, only coming into rivers to spawn. They are well-adapted to finding food drifting by with their excellent sense of smell and taste. When there is an insufficient food supply, sturgeon have been known to move into shallow water to eat freshwater clams.</span><br />

It's unclear exactly when the last birds died, local lighthouse keepers and fishermen said they hadn't seen it by 1940, but reports of sightings happened through the '80s. By 1994, it was officially declared extinct. Only 4 specimen of stuffed birds exist in museums today.</span><br />

Here i would like to discover and share with you guys some of the most amazing extinct animals that are supposed to be resurrected by cloning, why? One reason, actually one bold reason, because they simply deserve it, how great could it be if extinct ancient animals like woolly mammoth or even the dinosaurs could be seen living and well once again, although it will a very hard thing to do, i do believe them scientists could pull it off, it will take maybe 5 or more years, but it will certainly worth it to wait that long.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Dolly is the first mammal to have been successfully cloned from an adult cell. Previous clonings have been from embryo cells. The sheep's birth has been heralded as one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of the decade although it is likely to spark ethical controversy. One of the major objective set by doing this research is to study genetic diseases for which there is presently no cure and track down the mechanisms that are involved. At this point you might be wondering how come this was shared which was not anything about any amazing extinct animals, right?

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Neanderthal is perhaps the most controversial extinct species eligible for cloning and resurrection, primarily due to logistics: The surrogate species would be us. As the most recently extinct member of the Homo genus, Neanderthals are widely considered a subspecies of modern humans. Cloning them might be controversial, but it could also be illuminating.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A Neanderthal clone would also probably be most viable. Scientists have already completed a rough draft of the Neanderthal genome, for instance. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But what we should be asking ourselves is "should we do it?"</span><br />

Imagine we could finally see the ancient animals with our own eyes, that would be so amazing, especially with the ones that we often see in movies, like the dinosaurs for instance. That's it for now, i'll be signing off with my finger crossed to see this whole idea of resurrecting the amazing extinct animals through cloning come true.</span><!--EndFragment--></div>

It should be a great thing to do rather than sitting or watching non educational television channel, not that i'm judging, but here in my country, they broadcast a lot of c***. But hey let's stop complaining now and start the main show of the evening. Hopefully the fossils that you are about to see will make you happy and start coming back for more, it sure makes me so because at first i didn't know before i start looking at these fossils that there are lots and lots of things that i didn't know about, and what makes it even more tempting is that all those things that i didn't know is very amusing, that as a sensitive person i could even cry just by knowing about it, it also making me think twice about all the problems i'm having is not that bad after all.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The biggest fossil find of an ancient "mega wombat" has been unearthed in Australia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Up to 50 skeletons of the diprotodon, the largest marsupial that ever lived, were found in a remote desert. Scientist Scott Hocknull described the creature as "a cross between a wombat and a bear but the size of a rhinoceros".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's hoped the discovery will help researchers work out how they became extinct.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Two theories include human hunting and climate change.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The diprotodon roamed the Earth between about 1.6 million and 50,000 years ago. It had a backward-facing pouch that would have been big enough to carry a human.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Among the fossils was a huge specimen called Kenny, who had a massive jawbone 70 centimetres long!</span><br />

Is it like me who really wanted to know about which animals is actually the oldest one that ever lived on earth? And also the big question of how old is actually the oldest fossil found on earth? Knowing that must be some kind of mystery solving i might say, but also adding the curious value into it, as in the current announced oldest fossil found on this very planet could well not be the oldest one, it might just happen to be the oldest that are found, but what about the ones that are not yet discovered by humans? That is something we have to wait to find out i guess. But the good news is that in the mean time, we should accept that this set of fossils below is the current oldest fossils of the most amazing extinct animals. </span><br />

But that is not the case here, what i'm sharing to you above is that fossils of some of the oldest most amazing extinct animals in the history of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">the human race, or even </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">the earth to be exact.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14170290992210968842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385325216454237635.post-83248887330963057992012-10-04T07:40:00.004-07:002012-10-04T07:40:49.275-07:00Amazing Extinct Animals Rediscovered And Caught On Camera<span style="font-size: large;">So one day at work i was wondering whether there was any thought to be extinct animals but accidentally rediscovered and caught on camera, i mean the earth is so vast and huge, which makes so easy for us to miss something and people is full of error possibilities, so i am so sure that there is some announced as already extinct animals that are brought back to the surface and rediscovered into public. And it is kind of too easy, because there are actually more than a view extinct animals that are being rediscovered by humans, there are actually plenty of them, we'll get to that really soon now. Most of us animal lovers are probably only hoping to help animals that are endangered, that are almost extinct, therefore this kind of news is really great and huge relieve if i might say.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The most recently, earlier this year to be precise there was this monkey named <b>Surili</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"> from Indonesia that was rediscovered by locals in the Borneo island.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The shy monkey (Presbytis hosei canicrus) was seen in the 1970s in Kutai National Park in Borneo, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) from where the new population lives. But as the years passed, fires and illegal logging devastated Kutai. By 2008, the Miller's grizzled langur seems to have vanished from the park. A survey that year found just five langurs living on the Sangkulirang Peninsula in East Kalitmantan, also about 50 miles (80 km) away from the newly discovered langur habitat. But by 2010, that group of primates had also disappeared.</span><br />

Once thought to have gone extinct 65 million years ago, the Coelacanth was rediscovered alive and well in 1938, wow could you believe that? It's been 65 million years? They are also the closest link between fish and the first amphibian creatures which made the transition from sea to land in the Devonian period, which was around 408-362 Million Years Ago. That such a creature could have existed for so long is nearly incredible, but some say that the cold depths of the West Indian ocean at which the Coelacanth thrives, and the small number of predators it has, may have helped the species survive eons of change.</div>

Since it is discovered in 1861 by the German naturalist Wilhelm Peters, up until now, i guess only 36 had ever been caught. By 1970, some thought that the Cuban Solenodon had become extinct, since no specimens had been found since 1890. The Cuban Solenodon that was found in 2003, named Alejandrito, brought the number ever caught to 37. And sadly i guess that was it.</div>

Like most Asian turtles, it is collected yearly as a food source or for “medical cures.” Only a handful of these conservation reliant turtles are in captivity, and their status in the wild, which is dubious at best, is listed as critical. </div>

<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What have i learned so far after maintaining this blog of amazing extinct animals? That is the main question flying around my head, and the answer is simply how we could not stay put just by knowing which animals are already extinct and which are on the brink of extinction, we should start doing a favour to the planet we live in by doing the best we can to at least help the endangered animals to stay on this planet earth for a little longer, or maybe hopefully saved and recovered from extinction. This animal that i will try to discuss is the unique monkey from the wild madagascar, the name of the species is silky sifaka or simpona.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Also how its population is very small and it is hunted by some local people for meat, man i just cannot believe that, but on the other side i think it is just natural how people's instinct brought them to become a hunter when living in the wild jungle. But unfortunately that makes this one of the most endangered primates in the world. The silky sifafka is killed entirely in the wild, it most likely can’t be kept alive in a captive breeding program or zoo.</span><br />

And we could also show this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhC2UewI1AA">silky lemur documentary</a> to students when it is available. Visit the lemur park when it is safe to do so, and don’t forget about Madagascar during the political upheaval, as the Marojejy park website says, “While you might not be able to visit some of these beautiful areas right now, we hope you will not forget them, and that you will continue to work for their preservation.”</span><br />

They are all amazing, they are near, but unfortunately they are almost gone from this planet, as in they are on the brink of extinction. Looking back at how this planet has never been able to cope with the change of general climate, and also adding human cause to it, we could almost sure to predict that these amazing almost extinct animals will went down to zero existence if we did not take action and do nothing at all about it. So i'm here to try and influence you all regarding these animals so that we all could take action and together i believe we could save them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Last but not least on my list are frogs, you see frogs are not one animal, but so many of them are under threat they fit the definition of endangered for this list. In 2009 a study reported that 200 million to one billion frogs are killed every year for frogs legs consumption. Australian researcher Corey Bradshaw, who is one the study’s authors said: “About half of all listed amphibians are threatened with extinction”. Amphibian Ark states 50% of amphibians could go extinct. “50%: of ~6,000 described amphibian species, are threatened with extinction. 32% known to be threatened + 23% data deficient but believed threatened”. The percentage quoted here from Conservational International is 40%.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now that we all know how these animals are on their brink of extinction, we can't just let them be, right? We surely can't just pretend that we have no idea what's happening here, at least what we can do now is to share this information of how these amazing animals is almost extinct, the more people know about it, the higher chance the animals would be protected. Let's all hope so. </span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The great auk was the first bird ever to hold the title of penguin. Its flightless, black and white body was distinctive among Canadian animals. Yet it was rounded up by the thousands off the north Atlantic and eastern Arctic islands for use as food and for its feathers. The slaughter continued for generations, and when the auk's impending demise became common knowledge, the reaction was immediate – men rushed to kill the remaining birds, aware of their value to collectors.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Not much we could found about them, so i'll just quote from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Polar_dinosaurs">wikipedia</a>, The South Polar dinosaurs proliferated during the Early Cretaceous (145–100 Ma) while the continent of Australia was still linked to Antarctica to form East Gondwana, a continent that had rifted from Africa and drifted southward. Much of this southern continent lay inside the Antarctic Circle, and the climate there was unlike any that exists today. This led to fauna and flora that were unique to the time. Much of what is known about the fauna of Polar Australia comes from fossil beds found in Dinosaur Cove and Flat Rocks on the Victorian coast of southeast Australia.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Cryolophosaurus as one of the bigger family of the arctic dinosaurs was a large theropod dinosaur, with a crest on its head that looked like a Spanish comb. Due to the resemblance of this feature to Elvis Presley's pompadour haircut from the 1950s, this dinosaur was at one point informally known as "Elvisaurus".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Procolophon reached a length up to 30 cm. The skull was solid but some species did evolve a temporal fenestra in the skull independently of other reptiles. There was one backward facing cheek spike, but its function is debated; it may have been for muscle attachment. Eyes were large and may have had acute day or night vision. The teeth were peg-like and suitable for crushing of plant matter. The front of the skull was short and blunt with the nasal opening very close to the mouth.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Eskimo curlew, a plump, friendly bird, once migrated in flocks of thousands from South America to the Arctic every year. Unlike the auk, curlews were not killed in their arctic breeding grounds. Instead, they were shot down en route, while stopping to rest and feed on the prairies and along the coastlines of North America. In a span of less than a century, one of the most common birds on the continent was reduced to scarcity. Today, the Eskimo curlew is likely extinct – the last individual was seen in Argentina more than a decade ago.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Ankyramorpha</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> is an extinct clade of procolophonomorph parareptiles from the early Cisuralian epoch to the latest Triassic period of Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America. It was named by the paleontologists Michael deBraga and Robert R. Reisz in 1996 as a node-based taxon. They defined it as "the most recent common ancestor of Procolophonia and Lanthanosuchoidea and all its descendants".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Irish Elk was the largest deer that ever lived. Its home was Eurasia, from Ireland into the lakes at Baikal, and it lived during the Pleistocen area. The last of the giant deer died out about 7 thousand years ago. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The cause of their extinction has remained to be discussed focusing on the antlers (rather than on their overall body size), which may be due more to their impact on the observer than any actual property. Some have suggested hunting by man was a contributing factor in the demise of the Irish Elk as it was with many prehistoric megafauna. But evidence for overhunting is equivocal, and as a continental species, it would have co-evolved with humans throughout its existence and presumably have adapted to their presence. Imagine if this giant elk as one of the most amazing extinct land animals still exist?</span></blockquote>

Its first record of was by herpetologist Jay Savage in 1966. The Golden Toad, recognized by its brilliant golden orange color, was native to the tropical cloud forests which surround Monteverde, Costa Rica. None have been seen since 1989. It last bred in normal numbers in 1987, and its breeding sites were well known. In 1987, due to erratic weather, the pools dried up before the larva had matured. Out of potential 30,000 toads, only 29 had survived. In 1988, only eight males and two females could be located. In 1989, a single male was found, this was the last record of the species. Extensive searches since this time have failed to produce any more records of the golden toad.</span></span></blockquote>

The colouration resembled that of the Bengal tiger. Male Caspian tigers were very large and weighed 169-240 kg. Females were not as large, weighing 85-135 kg. There are still occasional claims of the Caspian tiger being sighted. Let's hope, and hope is the reason we include this as one of the most amazing extinct land animals.</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As for its history, the Pyrenean Ibex was native to the Pyrenees, a mountain range in Andorra, France and Spain. It was still abundant in the fourteenth century. Its population declined due to a “slow but continuous persecution” and disappeared from the French Pyrenees and the eastern Cantabrian mountain range by the mid-nineteenth century. In 1981, the population was reported to be 30. At the end of the 1980′s the population size was estimated at 6-14 individuals. The last naturally born Pyrenean Ibex, named Celia, died on January 6th, 2000, after being found dead under a fallen tree at the age of 13. That animal’s only companion had died just a year earlier due to old age. It might be too late for us, but let's hope that them researchers give another try in trying to clone any animals that have the potential.</span></span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The cave lion, also known as the European or Eurasian cave lion, is an extinct subspecies of lion known from fossils and a wide variety of prehistoric art. This subspecies was one of the largest lions. An adult male, which was found in 1985 near Siegsdorf (Germany), had a shoulder height of around 1.2 m and a length of 2.1 m without a tail, which is about the same size as a very big modern lion. This male was even exceeded by other specimens of this subspecies. Therefore this cat may have been around 5-10% bigger than modern lions. It apparently went extinct about 10,000 years ago, during the Würm glaciation, though there are some indications it may have existed as recently as 2,000 years ago, in the Balkans. This time "big" is the reason we include this special cat on this list.</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The quagga is a mammal that was very closely related to modern horses and zebras. The fact is, it looks like a cross between a horse and a zebra, with stripes only on its head and neck that disappear as they approach the brownish hindquarters of the animal. How insane was that, you might think "Can we breed a horse and a zebra to re-live this quagga again?" Well, where there is will there is hope, and once again hope is the reason this is one of the most amazing extinct land animals on earth.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The quagga was native to desert areas of South Africa until it was hunted to extinction in the 1870s. Because of the confusion caused by the indiscriminate use of the term “Quagga” for any zebra, the true Quagga was hunted to extinction without this being realized until many years later. The Quagga became extinct because it was ruthlessly hunted down for meat and leather by South African farmers, also they were seen by the settlers as competitors, like other wild grass eating animals, for their livestock, mainly sheep and goats.</span></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One of Europe's most famous extinct animals, the aurochs were a very large type of cattle. Aurochs evolved in India some two million years ago, migrated into the Middle East and further into Asia, and reached Europe about 250,000 years ago. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">By the 13th century A.D., the aurochs' range was restricted to Poland, Lithuania, Moldavia, Transylvania and East Prussia. The right to hunt large animals on any land was restricted to nobles and gradually to the royal household. But mostly because of that, sooner or later the last recorded live aurochs, a female, died in 1627 in the Jaktorów Forest, Poland. The skull was later taken by the Swedish Army and is now the property of Livrustkammaren in Stockholm. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In the 1920s two German zookeepers, the brothers Heinz and Lutz Heck, attempted to breed the aurochs back into existence from the domestic cattle that were their descendants. Their plan was based on the conception that a species is not extinct as long as all its genes are still present in a living population. The result is the breed called Heck Cattle, 'Recreated Aurochs', or 'Heck Aurochs', which bears an incomplete resemblance to what is known about the physiology of the wild aurochs. Unique right? I believe you know that is the reason.</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It was 1936 when the last Thylacine took its final breath in Hobart Zoo, Tasmania. Extremely rare if not extinct on the Australian mainland by the time of European colonisation, the Thylacine survived on the island of Tasmania alongside close cousins like the Tasmanian Devil. There, this distinctive, large-jawed beast found itself with a price on its head, as settlers blamed it for attacks on their sheep. The Thylacine was hunted to extinction by bounty hunters and farmers. Now that they are long gone, so many people wanted them to come back, all because it is extinct, common reason to put them on this list as one of the most amazing extinct land animals like so many other similar list they were in, so many to say the least.</span></blockquote>
