This is a list of North American animals extinct in the Holocene that covers extinctions from the Holocene epoch, a geologic epoch that began about 11,650 years before present (about 9700 BCE) [A] and continues to the present day. [1] Recently extinct animals in the West Indies and Hawaii are in their own respective lists.
These fish were not gentle giants, researchers say.
As of September 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists 65 extinct fish species, 87 possibly extinct fish species, and six extinct in the wild fish species. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Cartilaginous fish

The study, however, found an apparently low extinction rate in the fossil record of mainland Asia. [146] [147] A 2020 study published in Science Advances found that human population size and/or specific human activities, not climate change, caused rapidly rising global mammal extinction rates during the past 126,000 years. Around 96% of all ...
