Everything's going to be ok! I found a species called a "Med Squirrel" in the Index of Audubon's "The quadrupeds of North America", but the actual description calls it a "Red-Souirrel" [sic].

Perhaps the most remarkable extinction was that of the Passenger pigeon. This was once the most abundant bird in N. America, numbering >3 billion.
Here it's shown in Audubon's Birds of America. Martha, the last specimen, died in Cincinnati Zoo in 1914.
