last but most certainly not least in the #Hauntedcarousel series, the Japanese river otter. first thought to be a subspecies of European river otter, these creatures were only identified as a unique species after their extinction in 1979.
another one for the #Hauntedcarousel - the beautiful #quagga. the Quagga Project is trying to recreate the phenotype (appearance) of their hair coat pattern and related characteristics by selectively Burchell's zebras, but these are not genetically true quaggas.
#HauntedCarousel no.6: the striking Golden Toad. after only knowing it for two decades, scientists struggle to understand its rapid sudden extinction, though climate change was certainly a major factor.
the fifth animal for the #HauntedCarousel - the Western Black Rhino, declared extinct as recently as 2006 due to overhunting (largely poaching). this is just one of several #rhino species driven to extinction in this manner, and remaining species are still under great threat.
