Top 10 Extinct Animals: Part 4 - The Great Auk #science #extinctanimals

#chipmanbiology #chipmanapbiology The Great Auk, a magnificent seabird, neared extinction due to relentless hunting. Europeans sought the bird for its feathers, eggs, and meat, driving it to the brink. With colonies decimated and individuals hunted without mercy, the Great Auk vanished from the North Atlantic shores, marking the tragic end of a species that once swam gracefully through the waves. The Great Auk's disappearance echoes the consequences of unchecked exploitation and serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of conservation in preserving the delicate balance of marine ecosystems.
