All that aside what creature do you morn more than any?
For me, I'm forever pissed that I'll probably never see one of these in the zoo unless those geneticists get off their asses and do something about it.
>the tragedy that is the Stellar Sea Cow
Those poor bastards, they were like mini whales and they died so horribly and needlessly. Fuck it's such a damn shame.
Imagine what adorable pets they could have been. There would be super fluffy breeds and shit.

It had zero predators until humans showed up and killed the shit out of it for funsies.

People brought dogs and macaques and such to Mauritania, which destabilized the ecosystem.
Dodos did have predators, yes, but none that were anything more than a minor threat.
Jackals, African wildcats, various lizards etc that mostly ate the eggs.
Mauritania is a prime example of why islands like Socotra need to be watched closely.
