"Dinosaurs, and a large number of historical orders are extinct... It is, however, generally accepted that birds are descended from a subgroup of dinosaurs - hence dinosaurs are not extinct."
Contradictory statements, I'm no expert but I'd say despite birds being descended from dinosaurs, they are Not dinosaurs. Therefore the latter are extinct. 194.168.3.18 14:23, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
The section on Europe seems to have been deleted, will attempt to fix :p Grunners 02:44, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
It would be useful to note that this page lists species that have gone extinct throughout their entire range, rather than those that are "extinct" in certain countries or regions. A separate page could be made to list these latter "regional extinctions."
Wikipedia:Article assessment is looking at extinct mammals from the week starting 20 February 2006 - please come along and help out with the submissions and assessments. violet/riga (t) 00:13, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
It has been suggested by Biatch that the "No longer considered extinct" section be merged with Lazarus taxon. I agree with this merger. And because this list is of extinct animals, not living or rediscovered animals, I think it can be merged now. Peter Maas 07:43, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Considering that 99% of all species that ever existed have gone extinct (or so evolution scientists tell us), isn't this a rather stupid entry? How about List of Some Extinct Animals, with an intro explaining why a "List of extinct animals" is wacky...;)
Hey -- I'm not going to insist on it, but really... What's next... a "List of failed businesses" or a "List of words unspoken"???
It is hard to list every extinct animal, because so meany had been hunted or died of some other way. Most animals were killed by hunters, some legal and some not. Some were gone because of rainforst cut downs, and other habbats ruined. why do people do things like that!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.106.186 ( talk) 19:26, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
"This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it."
I wonder if I'm the only one who takes this as an admonition to go hunt some endangered animals. Agarvin ( talk) 23:22, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
