11 Extinct Animals That Have Been Photographed Alive amazing fun weird cool bubal 200907232203212023

The Bubal Hartebeest was a magnificent, tough beast which was once domesticated by the ancient Egyptians as a food source and for sacrificial purposes. The creature was even mentioned in the Old Testament.

Although it once roamed throughout Northern Africa and the Middle East, the deep-rooted mythology which surrounded the animal was not enough to save it from European hunters who began hunting them for recreation and meat. The last Bubal Hartebeest was probably a female which died in the Paris Zoo in 1923.


Animals are going extinct at a much higher rate now than through most of the earth’s history. Many species have disappeared since the development of photography. Take a good look, because this is all you’ll see of these eleven species as they were. Link -via Digg

    “typ sevilr” hahahaha, jag dör. Silver är fint! Jag funkar dock också som egoboostare till min syster, eller båda mina systrar faktiskt, när de säger att de är bleka och fula så ställer jag mig bara bredvid dom så jämför vi armar. Sedan ler dom stort och mobbar mig, men det gör inget, för jag vet, ja jag vet att jag är en lifesaver. Utan mig hade de dirr gått och solat solarium och fått cancer, men det räddar jag dom från. One day they´ll thank me, fo sho.Och ja, jag går in och läser andras kommentarer för jag är uttråkad och du har inte uppat nåt nytt och jag tycker vissa är sköna, men jag är inte läskig för det! Väl? *puppyeeeyezz* ^^peace iaf
