The moa became extinct after 1800; the moa is one of several species of giant and flightless birds that have lived in New Zealand history. According to DNA recovered from the museum collection, ten species of moa with different sizes are known, including 2 species of moa with large bodies, of which the giant moa is the largest, reaching a height of up to 3 meters, which is taller than the current ostrich. Small moa birds are only the size of turkeys. Among the giant moa birds with an average height of about 3 meters, the largest individual is about 3.6 meters tall and weighs about 250 kilograms. More than 300 years ago, the giant moa was the tallest bird in the world. Although the upper limbs have degenerated, the moa has a large body and a short lower limb. Despite its well-developed lower limbs, its large body makes moa's ability to run far less than ostriches. Due to the frenzied hunting of Maori tribes, this bird has become extinct. Although it has an absolute advantage in the body, it is not enough to help the moa fight against the sharp spears of humans. Moa can reach 12 feet (about 3.65 meters) tall and weigh more than 500 pounds (about 227 kilograms), and modern ostriches can only be regarded as a dwarf standing in front of them.

The Jamaican hamster became extinct in 1880;
After entering the 16th century, humans began to hunt a large number of wild animals, and natural predators began to decrease rapidly. In the absence of natural predators, the Jamaican hamster population increased rapidly and stole a large amount of food, causing a severe rat infestation. This aroused hatred for them, and they went on to throw poisoned food everywhere, causing Jamaican hamsters to die by mistake. Because the number of Jamaican hamsters was too large, it was not reduced by people until the early 19th century, but people wanted to completely eliminate Jamaican hamsters without leaving any trouble, so the hunting of Jamaican hamsters did not stop. In 1880, the goal was finally reached, and the Jamaican hamster went extinct. Jamaican hamsters originally lived well because of human behavior that caused them to flood and eventually be wiped out by humans.

It was found that the economic price of the Southern California cat fox was not high. But it's also good for practicing marksmanship and having fun. And because the Southern California cat fox destroys crops, the farmer is also very disgusted with the Southern California cat fox. With the frequent occurrence of "man-made disasters", the number of cats and foxes in Southern California has declined sharply. In 1903, the cat fox in Southern California first went extinct, and cat foxes in other regions also came to the brink of extinction. Therefore, human beings should take good care of the environment and give other species a chance to survive.
