Mamo
The
Marvelous Mamo
The
Mamo is a bird that is part of the finch family and is also called a Hoohoo.
Description
They
came in lots of colours but were mainly black or brown. It had a long curved beak for sucking nectar
from plants. They were approximately
20cm long. The English name for them was
the Black Mamo. They were known as a song bird.
Habitat
They
were endemic to Hawaii.
Extinction
It
became extinct in 1898 because of the Hawaiians using their feathers for
decorations. Their mountain habitat was
also reduced by humans.
In
conclusion, I think it is mean to kill birds for their feathers; birds need
feathers more than we do.
Glytadon
The
Glyptodon
The
Glyptodon is an extinct animal that is apart of the anmiodillo family

They
were herbivorous; eating lots of different types of plants including flax and
other tough plants.
Extinction
They

Hunters used them for their shell and for food. In addition it is believed that an ice age

In

Extinction
The
last Bali tiger died in 1937. Men wanted
to make mats our of tiger fur. On the
Western side of the Island they created a reserve but it was too late.

1800’s; the last one died in 1914.

Lewis
Great Auk
THE GREATEST EVER AUK
By Fraser
Walls.
The Great
Auk belonged to the penguin family and lived up to the early C19. It
looked like a black and white penguin except for it’s hunormous beak.It was as
tall as an Emperor Penguin, about 3feet tall.The Auk’s small wings stopped it
from flying and also it walked clumsily
Habitat
It lived around
the Scottish Islands, New Foundland and the waters of the Arctic Ocean.
It ate mainly
small fish and it was an agile swimmer. It floated on the water to rest and
look for fish. The nesting islands were crowded by heaps of other Auk’s.
Extinction
Most of the the
Auk’s died out because fisherman clubbed and killed them for the delicious meat
and stuffed their pillows and beds with the feathers.
Conclusion.
I think that it
is sad that the Great Auk was made extinct because of humans and that we should
do better in the future to save the species.

Ollie Sam
Dodo
The dizzy dodo

The dodo stood 3 feet tall and weighed about 40 kg. They couldn't fly,but
they could run.
Diet
They Ate
berries,fruit and seeds from the tambalacocque tree. Interestingly enough the
extinction of the dodo lead to the extinction of the tree as well because the
tree relied on the digestive system of the dodo for germination.
Habitat
Came from
Mauritius close to the indian ocean.
Extinction
extinction
occurred because of humans in about 168. Humans introduced cats,dogs and
pigs into their habitat and they killed the young and ate the dodos eggs.
We wish they were alive now because they look quite cool.
Irish Elk
The intriguing Irish elk
The Irish elk
is an extinct mammal that is part of the red deer family .

a wood brown and it’s antlies were approximately 3.6 meters long. They
weighed about 540 -600 kilograms it is 2.10 meters tall.

The Irish elk
got introduced from Ireland to Northern Asia then to Africa and to china .
They usually
lived in nutrient rich shrubby grass and open woodlands or among rivers and
streams .
Diet
The lrish elk
is herberivous; in winter they eat bark and twigs off trees.
In summer they
eat grass and herbs and rip leaves off trees or they eat them off the ground
under the tree as well.
Extinction
It is believed
that they died out around 2,000 years after the ice age, they know this because
they analysed some of its bones. However most of them died in the
ice age because the plants died and they couldn't get any food and water.
We think it is sad they all died out
because we would have liked to have shot one for its impressive antlers however
we wouldn't over hunt them and kill them all.
