5 Animals That Were Declared Extinct In The Year 2021

[@williamriviere795]

I'm from Reunion Island, and we have a lot of endemic bird species, including a White-eye (Reunion Olive White-eye), so was scared for a minute before you said it was from the Mariana Islands, because I thought that one of our endemic birds went extinct. Invasive predators are indeed the biggest menace to birds. For us, it's mainly cats and rats.

[@opinanlosjovenesrd3477]

I think we should start eating invasive species only were they are invasive as an effort to counteract our negative effects upon nature.

Thanks for highlighting the mussels. Because they don’t flash, flitter, hop colorfully or twitter, who would ever have given them a thought? Excellent work, young man!

[@dundee6402]

That's the sad reality of monetary conservation programs. Cute cuddly things like pandas melt the hearts of the public and get loads of support, while the "ugly", stationary animals playing most of the time a vital role in nature are easily ditched in the hands of extinction.

[@CJM-rg5rt]

Our native mussels are so interesting.. and creepy. They mimic certain darters (for bass) and bugs (for darters) and when the fish tries to eat it it'll latch onto their face and pump baby clams into it. The larvae then clamp down on the gills and feed for a while before dropping off.

# Tsuki, The *"Patagonian Toothfish",* is an ugly, prehistoric looking fish, sold only as a filet. It only became popular when it was marketed as the *"Chilean Sea Bass".* I believe their status is now endangered because they taste good and was renamed to a more palatable name. I wonder what other animal was endangered due to *Marketing?*

As messed up as this sounds, I am surprised to hear that not many species of amphibians have gone extinct.

We got a species of dark brown/black fresh water mussel (Idk their proper name) living in the mountain runoff creek on my step dads property and their numbers haven't dwindled at all since I was a kid. His house is only a couple km from where the creek itself starts and there are no other houses further up creek so there hasn't ever been any pollution in that couple km stretch.

@@JackAss-xo3gp What do you mean? I know bats love to eat them, but they can also eat other bugs. Fish like to eat the larvae, but they can also eat other things. Mosquitofish and rasboras, despite their name, aren't dependant on those. Same applies to other birds who eat bugs, they're not completely dependant on mosquitoes. Come to think about it, a specific diet to just 1 species isn't a good survival strategy.

[@JackAss-xo3gp]

@@bewarious8348 More food availability for animals is better than less food for them. We humans already lowered many animals survivability chance in the wild because how we fucked up the Ecosystem. And an extinction of Mosquitoes just makes their survivability chance even lower. Heck, even Mosquitoes extinction would affect plants growth as they're categorized as pollinators. Some plants may go extinct due to this. Bees exist, but their population has been declining since 2018 by 40%. At this point, anything will do to help some animals or plants survive in the wild. Any extinction of an animal really saddens me, as they're what makes this planet special. So, anything to make some animals survive longer is always welcomed, no matter how annoying they're to humans.
