ITT: Extinct animal you most wish was still around, extinction must have been during recorded human history, no OMG SAber Tooth Lions and Raptor Jesus!11!

Mine: Carolina Parakeet, that would be so cool to have flocks of native parrots in north america.....screw your sun conure, I'll step out back and get my own. Though Monsanto/ConAgra/Tyson would have to invent a parrot poison or something to save the soybeans.
Or I could move to florida I guess with the feral Quakers/Budgies/Conures etc..

Thylacine. I shall forever hate farmers for believing these awesome things took down their sheep, and shooting them all for it.

The quagga would be awesome to still have around. There's breeding programs to make 'quaggas' but all they are is zebras with different coat patterns.

But I wish we still had painted vultures, steller sea cows, monk seals, thylacine, falklands fox, etc. Its unfortunate that we don't have them anymore.
Also notice how no on misses that recently extinct river dolphin.

The Baiji or Chinese River Dolphin is extinct as of 2006.
There's three other species of river dolphins, even though only two live in freshwater.

wait. which sabor tooths? there was a lot of saber toothed kinda cats back then.

also my vote was going to go for the giant sloth or that gigantic, hornless rhino-related giraffe thing but i don't think humans were around at that time.
so my vote goes for either cave lions or cave bears.
imagine how fucking scary would that be to have these things in your backyard.

Titanis walleri. Believed to have gone extinct 15,000 years ago. They may have inspired the myths about griffins.

The Bali tiger, which went extinct due to habitat loss and small-penised Europeans hunting them.

Good news for you.
Those fuckers should be brought back at some point. Someone in some big laboratory has a fetus of one.
Saw it on national geographic some time ago.
I want one.

like. they've been saying that for years now.
they also stopped it in 2005 after tests showed the DNA retrieved from the specimens had been too badly degraded to be usable.
then a few months later they said they were starting again.
even if they were able to create just one live, healthy specimen, does anyone realize how hard it would be make more than is not in the same gene pool? we'd just have a bunch of retarded, inbred thylacines with no survival instincts.

there we go. they need shorter names for these things, they're hard to remember.
it would be the ultimate working animal/epic mount.

I second that 1000%. The video of the last one held in captivity is so tragic. I would've hated to be in the room when the last one died...

Now that would be an epic mount, and without the human-sized shit brix you would get with an Indricothere
>> Anonymous

Watching videos of it just fascinates me every time I watch them.
But what makes it more tragic is just look at its enclosure. If it was the last one, they should've just released it. At least then there's always that small chance of it finding a mate.

We still do have Monk Seals. There are small, endangered, but still existing Monk Seals. The Hawaiian Monk Seal is still found on the further out islands west of Kauai. They also have a few in the aquariums in Hawaii. But the Mediterranean Monk Seal isn't extinct either, just terribly rare and very endangered.

Seconded. There's at least some evidence suggesting it survived into historical times (unlike, say, sabertooth cats or indricotheres). Another two cool extinct mammals that seem to have survived to historical times are the short-faced bear (see pic) and giant ground sloth.
