This is the Extinct Species Graveyard at the Bronx Zoo in New York. The only “gravestone” not included in this post is that of the Labrador Duck.
I was very pleased to find this little display at the zoo even though some of the dates are inaccurate.
The simple fact that humanity can eradicate an animal that evolved with us, even before us, is abhorrent.
The fact that we can then forget them, truly haunts me.
