Hi everyone, I was wondering...about which animal should a new species info page on The Extinction Website be? Which animal would you like to have an information page? And any suggestions for the first extinct plant information page? The animal and/or plant must be recognised as recently extinct. I hope you all will tell me your choice. Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suggested animals:Madagascar Pochard ( Aythya innotata) ( Click here!) Turquoise-throated Puffleg ( Eriocnemis godini) Cylindraspis sp. ( Click here!) Suggested plants:Hibiscadelphus bombycinusHibiscadelphus crucibracteatusHibiscadelphus wilderianus

Well, my suggestion would be the Turquoise-throated Puff-leg This bird remains still a mystery to me and i think the unconfirmed sighting from 1976 is nothing more than a mistaken identity. To speak of extinct plants i would say you could take the whole genus Hibiscadelphus of which three species are already extinct.

Thank for your suggestions so far. Sebbe, with recent I mean since the year 1500. And it has not have to be listed by the IUCN. And RSN, the website has already a page on the Rodrigues Saddle-backed Giant Tortoise: www.petermaas.nl/extinct/speciesinfo/rodriguesgianttortoise.htm. It contains even a drawing made by you, which you were so kindly to give permission for. But maybe I can also make another Cylindraspis page. I'll wait first for some more suggestion from other users.

Hmm...so my suggestion could be for another species. I think there is really little info in those others. Thanks for feature my pic in the site! The page is very good, but in the taxonomy of the animal, in class space, there is ''Mammalia, Aves, Reptilia'', so when you update the site you can remove the incorrect names with Reptilia. My English is very bad, I hope you can understand me.

I fully understand it. Thanks for telling me, I've removed Mammalia and Aves.

Any species you like. But are you sure there are species still missing in this forum? I can't stop finding pages and pages about more and more species, here...

Some hypothetical or not Ara species should be good too.

Rafael, thank you very much for the names! I can certainly use them very good. Valérie, the species are not for the forum but for information pages for the main website: extinct.petermaas.nl. A page like this one on the dodo: www.petermaas.nl/extinct/speciesinfo/dodobird.htm. So if you would like to see a page on a certain species, please tell me.
