Lost Animals: Extinction and the Photographic Record by Errol Fuller is one of these books. Lost Animals is a book about what was lost and witnesses to the loss—how the bird or mammal was viewed, often for the last time, through the lens of a camera. But it examines extinction in a very different way.

This also makes the Arenal Observatory Lodge an ideal location for wildlife observation in Costa Rica.

Predictably, the flowers attract several species of sunbirds. Apparently, many bird species have employed the same concept as me for a long time. As we humans are animals, like birds are, it often seems to make more sense to me to assume that their and our drivers are similar, not different. To me, this often misses the point.

Africa is famous for its large, charismatic mammals, and the Big Five epitomize the most sought-after of these fantastic beasts. As visitors’ and the public’s interests expanded from the Big Five, and an appreciation for lesser mammals, birds and smaller wildlife has became more widespread, the term Little Five was coined.

It is technically correct, and recently fashionable, to insist that any living animal is a member of the larger group that contains it phylogenetically, i.e., ancestrally, with that group often named after the known animal that roots the tree.

The species was extinct, a vanished part of the vanishing prairie — and not for the first time. In the 1950s the species was unofficially regarded as extinct by most biologists, a small part lost in the general tumble and disarray of the entire ecosystem they’d inhabited. You couldn’t see it.
