Btwn 53 - 71% of Med elasmobranch species are at risk of extinction. Many have an elevated + worsening status regionally compared to their global status. e.g., 9/16 sharks reported in domestic Med landings are more threatened regionally than globally. Illustrations: @dando_marc
#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.

It made sense to make the 1st illustration in the @DearEarsBand "Looking For Dodos" storybook next, there's gotta be something to making a book in normal order. The idea is that @witified is bringing @AshleyStrongarm & @LeslieLaine1 to the museum for an extinct animals exhibit.

another one for the carousel - the #Bluebuck. if you don't recognize this animal, don't beat yourself up about it - it was the first large African mammal to go extinct, and only four skins exist today.
