Habitat loss, pollution, hunting, and competition for food or habitat, are all primary threats to all creatures on Earth. Human activities have a much greater impact on the survival of currently endangered species than ever before. Join us, as we look at 20 last unknown photos of animals that went extinct.

The Tasmanian tiger, a marsupial that resembled a mix of a big cat, a fox, and a wolf, is believed to have died out in 1936. However, eight sightings of Tasmanian tigers have been recorded in the last three years, according to a document recently released by the Tasmanian government. The most recent news came when a man in Hobart, Tasmania, discovered what seemed to be a Tasmanian tiger footprint. Kangaroos, wombats, and sheep were all eaten by Tasmanian tigers. In the nineteenth century, British settlers in Tasmania hunted them to extinction. The last Tasmanian tiger died in captivity in Hobart's Beaumaris Zoo on September 7, 1936. At least, that is what was thought. The Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment in Tasmania published a document that confirmed Australian people have been witnessing Tasmanian tiger sightings.
There have been eight confirmed sightings in the last two years. It was easily identified by its yellow-brown fur and a pattern of black stripes running down the lower back and tail, hence the tiger moniker. Because Tasmanian tigers preyed on kangaroos, wombats, and, on rare occasions, sheep, and goats, it put them at odds with British colonists who arrived in Tasmania in 1803. The last wild Tasmanian tiger was believed to have been hunted to extinction 130 years later. Owing to their resemblance to dogs, coyotes, and wolves, the animals are also known as Tasmanian wolves. The Tasmanian tiger lived for 4 million years in Australia, Tasmania, and Papua New Guinea before becoming extinct. But sightings confirmed by people like this couple near Corinna, Tasmania, claiming they were "100% positive" they saw a Tasmanian tiger, maintain hope that the tiger is back.
The animal had a thick tail that was rigid and firm at the base. Hundreds and hundreds of times, people have gone to see where a sighting story was and found nothing, but it does not mean it isn’t true. The Booth Richardson Tiger Team made headlines in September 2017 when they released video clips and still photos of a creature's blurry snout. Trail cameras were used to record the footage in the Tasmanian wilderness. During a press conference following the release of the images, they said they believed 100 percent it was a Tasmanian tiger. Some people remained skeptical. There was great enthusiasm at first, but experts speculated that the animal had a one-in-three chance of being a Tasmanian tiger.
Quagga
The quagga was a zebra subspecies that existed until the late nineteenth century. Because they had a distinct stripe pattern in comparison to other zebras, their skins were highly sought after by humans. All zebras were once referred to as quaggas. Previously, quaggas were classified as a separate species. Scientists discovered that the now-extinct quaggas were a subspecies of plains zebra after examining their DNA. Unfortunately, while these animals were still alive, they were not well studied. The quagga's extinction is widely blamed on "ruthless hunting" and even "planned extermination" by colonists.
Second, the ambiguity caused by the indiscriminate use of the term "Quagga" for any zebra thwarted "last-minute efforts" to save the Quagga from extinction. People wanted to preserve the vegetation quaggas fed on for domesticated livestock because they were valuable for their meat and hides. Furthermore, few people recognized that the quagga was unique among zebras and required protection. Because the quagga was discovered to be a color variant of the plain’s zebra, it was thought that the quagga could be reintroduced through selective breeding. The idea was that animals would be chosen based on aspects of their coat color and striping patterns that resembled those of the quagga.
