#extinct wildlife
Selections from American ornithology v.03, 1811.
The Carolina parrot or parakeet in the top image is now unfortunately extinct. Due mostly to humans hunting them for their colorful feathers for fashion purposes. These birds were also captured and sold in the pet trade and also battled invasive species in their natural habitat.

Today I learned about extinct giant sloths and when I heard that I thought, “oh, probably the size of, like, a small bear?” NO THIS BITCH COULD EAT A BEAR WHY DID HE NEED TO BE THAT BIG LOOK AT HIM COMPARED TO THE LITTLE DUDES IN THE TREE????
