Talking about survival...

Been a long week, got me in a reflective mood today. The thought process drove me to think about the struggle to survive and on that note, those that didn't, species that is.

Here's a list of some of such exotic and beautiful creatures

• The Quagga
• The Great Auk
• Giant Russian Black Bear
• The Ball Tiger
• The Pygmy Elephant
• Pika of Corsica (Rat Rabbit)
• The West Indian Monk Seal
• Barbary Lion

and to what has been accepted as the symbol of extinction...

• The Dodo
