Hi, have you checked out: List_of_extinct_animals?

Yes, Ender. You might remeember me doing a large cut & paste job on it not long after you started it. Lots more to do there. And here. As ever. Always too many things to do, never enough time to do them all. :( Tannin

I was wondering if there should be some sort of addition of the role of humans in the extinctions in Australia. Nathan GO THE DO DO

Move to List of extinct Australian animals?

Since this is a list and other countries have articles of the format List of extinct XXXX animals should it be considered for moving? Alan Liefting 20:09, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

When I get around to it I'd like to expand this article so it was less like a list and more like an article, so I'd prefer that is was left where it is currently.--nixie 22:53, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If the article is moved to comply with accepted standards, you can still work on it. That's the point of having a wiki. Anon user comment.
I can see a case for two articles: Extinct Australian animals and List of extinct Australian animals. The former would be a discussion on it and the latter is an outright list. Lists can get long and unweildly - not sure if this would be the case for Aussie animals. Alan Liefting 23:41, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Gastric brooding without hyphens

I removed the hyphens from the gastric brooding frog in order to make it consistent with links on other pages, currently Myobatrachidae, Frog and Eastern banjo frog. If you disagree, please change the hyphenation on these other pages, too! - Samsara 21:51, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Zosterops albogularis

Is this bird endangered or is it extinct? The wikipedia page for the bird states that it is endangered, so if this claim is truth it should be removed from this page. Any insight?

Please see the discussion on the species page. --Peta 02:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does noone car anymore?

Noone cares about animals anymore. The few people that do should take a stand and start a petition about animal abuse and cruelty and stuff like that. It is really sad that heaps of animals are now extinct becaus eof us. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gothic chic (talk • contribs) 10:19, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article lacks citation

This paragraph,

"it is worth making special mention of the three great human-introduced killer species: the European rabbit, the European Red Fox, and the domestic cat. Although many other introduced species have played a destructive role, so far these three have been far and away the most significant."

needs to be cited. According to whom are the rabbit, red fox and cat the biggest causes of extinction in Aus? Not saying that these species are not the biggest a citation would be appreciated :)
