Welcome to Extinct Animal Encyclopedia! I’m Lindsey Becker, and I created this site out of a deep fascination with the natural world—particularly the creatures that once roamed our planet but are no longer with us. From the colossal woolly mammoth to lesser-known species like the quagga or auroch, each extinct animal tells a unique story of life, evolution, and sometimes loss.
As a writer and researcher, I’ve always believed that understanding the past is key to appreciating the present and protecting the future. Extinction isn’t just about what’s gone; it’s a reminder of our planet’s delicate balance and the role we play within it. This site is a carefully curated encyclopedia of extinct species from every corner of the Earth—creatures that flew, swam, and walked in eras long before ours, as well as those we lost more recently.
Here, you’ll find:
- In-Depth Profiles of extinct animals, complete with their histories, habitats, and causes of extinction.
- Fascinating Facts about ancient creatures and the science behind their discovery.
- Illustrations & Imagery to bring these vanished species to life again.
Whether you’re a student, a curious reader, or someone who shares my passion for history and wildlife, Extinct Animal Encyclopedia is here to inspire and inform. I hope this space sparks your curiosity and deepens your appreciation for the rich tapestry of life that has shaped our planet.
Thank you for visiting and sharing in this journey to remember the forgotten creatures of the past.
