    I watched this series, Extinct, when it was first on TV.
    I even bought the book!
    This is the first time I've watched it since.

    This was sad - humans are capable of inflicting such damage to the wildlife.

      And The wildlife is just as capable of causing utter destruction and death to humans.
      See death by tiger numbers in the Sunderbans, India
      Also see The Ramree Island massacre of ww2 where 500 plus Japanese soldiers were devoured by Burmese crocodiles.

    The Great Auk was still around during the Year Without a Summer, and that’s when Mary Shelly wrote and published the monster story of Frankenstein! 🧟‍♂️

    I've read that fossils and sub fossils of the Great Auk have been found in the Mediterranean and North sea islands.

    This bird head and beak shape are absolutely beautiful, it's so aerodynamic yet beautifully proportioned it's just incredible. It's a better design any exotic sportscar it's absolutely beautiful. No wonder it fascinated people and the wrong people too, apparently a lot of them live in England.

    The Auk went extinct in 1844
    Yet
    There's an account of a several men in a boat seeing 12 large black birds swin past their boat that are described as Great Auks and this allegedly happened in the 1860's.
    Could the Great Auk still be out there undisturbed and unfound by humans ?

      Nope. Highly unlikely. For centuries they are gone. If they are still there, people will at least spot them. But no recent account though.

      Not likely. We as a species are pretty thorough when it comes to these kinds of things.

      No way... not a flightless sea bird. There may very well be other long thought extinct species extant... like the Ivory Billed Woodpecker for instance..
      But a flightless sea bird? No

      Anything is possible, but yes...
      Highly unlikely.
      The ivory billed woodpecker is gone too imo.
      People keep seeing pileated woodpecker and are convinced it's the ivory billed because they look similar in flight.

    He’s got this the wrong way around, these are the original penguins. The penguins we know today were named after this bird and are false penguins.

    The great auk is the penguin. Penguins were named because of theit similarity to the great auk aka the original penguin. So caption is misleading
