Apparently there’s only 10 or so Vaquita’s left now. :( https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/vaquita
I think evolution has something to do with the “softshell” turtle being extinct in the wild. Also why is it classified as a bird in this?
In the picture you can see that their wings are outspread and it’s soaring. The soft shell allows it to shed enough weight to take flight.
Oh my heart feels strange. Imagine if only 30 humans were left on the entire planet. This makes me incredibly sad!
The most-endangered thing on there, the vaquita, appears to live in the Gulf of Mexico. The dot on the map for that is really too high – it’s a good way up California’s coast.

I believe spix’s macaw is officially extinct
I thought so too but Wikipedia says they’re slowly being introduced back to conservation areas as of 2022
Neat! I wasn’t aware of that.
It is listed as extinct in the wild.
