Everyone is familiar with the dodo and the wooly mammoth, but how many people have heard of the scimitar cat and the Falkland Island fox? Extinct Animals portrays over 60 remarkable animals that have been lost forever during the relatively recent geological past. Each entry provides a concise discussion of the history of the animal-how and where it lived, and how it became extinct-as well as the scientific discovery and analysis of the creature. In addition, this work examines what led to extinction-from the role of cyclical swings in the Earth's climate to the spread of humans and their activities.
