Extinct Animals of Ancient History

Published 2021-10-30
The animals who have now sadly been lost to us in modern times, but were encountered by the ancient people of the old world, be it the Romans, Greeks, or Chinese.

Now, there are some animals which I left out of the video due to time constraints, who I will link to here:

Tarpan, or wild horse: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpan
Japanese wolf: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_wolf
Caspian Tiger: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspian_tiger
Vuay Robustus, the Madagascan Horned Crocodile: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voay


Comment about others I missed so I can add them to this list!
