The last great auk birds were killed on June 3, 1844.

Fishermen tracked the surviving ones to Iceland’s Eldey Island, strangling the adults and crushing the eggs.

It’s a sad reminder that humans can drive entire species to extinction without any thought.

The Great Auk "is found in abundance along the rugged coasts of Labrador...and we may conclude that its range is extended throughout the whole of the arctic circle." (Gould 1837). By ~1850, this abundant species was extinct. https://t.co/VvMeSfiv7g via

A little love for Razorbills. This seabird is in the auk family and lives in the northern Atlantic. They are sleek black with white bellies, but when they open their mouth, it's a surprise color - Can you guess what color it is?
