Fascinating Extinct Animals You’ll Wish Were Still Around

Fawkland Islands Wolf

The Fawkland Islands Wolf was the only mammal that was native to the Fawkland Islands. It died off in 1876, and was the first canine to go extinct in the modern era. It’s possible that, due to its lack of natural predators, it wasn’t prepared for the arrival of British settlers and their pets in 1764.
