The Tyrannosaurus rex, dodo bird, Caspian tiger, and the great auk are examples of animals that are no longer present on Earth and so they are extinct.
What are these animals?
Extinct means that a species has no living members and is no longer found on Earth. These animals once thrived in their respective habitats but due to various factors such as habitat loss, hunting, climate change, and disease, they have completely disappeared.
Tyrannosaurus rex: A large, carnivorous dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous period. It is one of the most well-known dinosaurs, and its extinction is thought to have been caused by an asteroid impact.
Dodo bird: A flightless bird that was native to the island of Mauritius. It was hunted to extinction by humans and their introduced predators, such as pigs and cats.
Caspian tiger: A subspecies of tiger that lived in the Caspian Sea region. It was hunted to extinction in the early 20th century.
Great auk: A flightless bird that lived in the North Atlantic Ocean. It was hunted to extinction in the mid-19th century.
