The Guardian (via
Kottke) has
assembled a slide show of some of the animals and plants that have been lost to the world over the last 10 years. They range from the
adorable golden toads to
majestic black rhinoceroses to
nearly blind Chinese river dolphins to
less-than-memorable snails, but none of them exist in the wild any longer, and we are all a little poorer because of that. Some images below, go
here for the full slide show.![]()
