These animals all deserved better, but the best we can do is remember them and tell their stories.

reblog and put in the tags 3 extinct creatures you would bring back if you could

[endlingmusings]

The fossilized skull of a Falkland Islands wolf, a rare find given the islands’ often acidic soil, which makes preservation difficult. Found on the grounds of Spring Point Farm on West Falkland, the skull is now on display at the Falkland Islands Museum and National Trust, East Falkland. [ x ]

Hi! just clearing up something-

My Warrah Theriotype٫ during this november٫ I awakened as a Warrah therian for one of my theriotypes٫ how? well I known the Warrah for a good amount of time٫ I always found an interest in them٫i loved learning about them I also shared traits with the Warrah٫Such as eating٫fish and also living on the coast of the Falklands٫I love being near bodies of water٫ and I felt a small connect to the wolves. So thats how :) Therians how have a an that is Extinct are called pelo-therians.

Warrah or Falklands or Antarctic Wolf, from The Doomsday book of Animals by David Day, illustrated by Maurice Wilson.

The artist drew that thing as if they thought it was gross. It looks like a sad little coyote stuffed.

This copperplate engraving of a Falkland islands wolf or warrah, titled “The Wolf Fox of Faulklands Islands,” was published in “An account of a Voyage Round the World” in 1778. [x]

The species went extinct about a hundred years later.

Cryptid of the Day: Falkland Island Wolf

Description: The Warrah, or the Falkland Island Wolf, & sometimes incorrectly called the Antarctic Wolf, went extinct in the 1880s, though soldiers stationed during the Falkland War claimed to have seen it. Cryptozoologist Dale A. Drinnon suggested they were insular Andean Wolf population

anyway I'm going to be bitter forever about colonialist extermination of the dogs of the Yahgan people, who domesticated at least one fox species (culpeo in Tierra del Fuego, definitely deliberately slaughtered by colonists) and potentially another. There's some interesting evidence that they brought warrah to the Falkland Islands, possibly as semi-domesticated animals in the same way dingoes were introduced to Australia. This would explain a whole lot about how tame and perplexingly non-aggressive warrah were to European colonists, too...

anyway I have so many questions about the behavior and domestication timescale of the Tierran del Fuego culpeo and they're never going to get answered because fucking Europeans eradicated first the dogs and then made a very effective effort at genociding the people. Fuck! What a waste! We could learn so much just by asking!

Awh, so peaceful with the soft colors. This is adorable.

Sleepy warrah

Okay so Umbro, our lead wolf in Wolvden, is going to retire in 10 days/ rollovers... I'm going to miss you so much...

At least we already decided on a replacement wolf when the time comes...

Who is Warrah! A wolf I got recently and who I think would make for a good Leader.

(Most of the pack is either too old or too young for the leader role, so we had to get a newbie. Hope it isn't too harsh for them...)

W for the oc ask

Warrah the Weaving Fleck!

They’re a friend of my OC Cigul. Or at the very least, they’re someone he knew back home before he left.

Warrah sees themself as the older and more rational Fleck compared to the whimsical Cigul. Cigul has Many Ideas and Feelings! Warrah has work to do, but they’ll be damned if they let Cigul hurt himself.

… they sometimes wonder if they could’ve done something to prevent him from leaving home, altogether.

Recreating creatures that went extinct millions of years ago, in a different epoch of the earth, have no close living relatives to give examples of appropriate behavior diet etc, and who exist solely for the purpose of human entertainment and exploitation? Pretty bad.

Bringing back something we killed to death in recent history, which led to a chain reaction of environmental impacts that just made shit worse? Probably okay.

I feel like there's a necessary counterpoint to the "torment nexus" problem, namely that science fiction itself isn't free from the political and cultural biases of its creators or the capitalist incentive structure of media production. Like, every time there's an article about research into cloning extinct species, there are a bunch of comments to the effect that "There's an entire series of movies explaining why that's a bad idea." And that's true: there's an entire series of blockbuster monster movies (that very much make their money off of the spectacle of prehistoric monsters running amok), based on a thriller novel written by a reactionary, that hold that if you develop this technology, you will get the plot of a monster movie.
