Fascinating Extinct Animals You’ll Wish Were Still Around

Schomburgk’s Deer

Named after Sir Robert H. Schomburgk, British consul in Bangkok at the time of its discovery, Schomburgk’s Deer lived in long grass on swampy plains in Thailand. As demand for rice grew, much of the deer’s habitat was turned into farmland, and as a result, the animal went extinct some time around 1938.
