Photographer Tim Flach Shares Shocking Pictures of Animals That May Soon Be Extinct

Many animals that lived on the earth are already extinct. Think about these, for example:

• Pinta Island Tortoise (2012)
• Japanese Honshu Wolf (1905)
• Quagga (1883)
• Great Auk (1852)
• Steller’s Sea Cow (1768)
• Irish Elk (5,200 B.C.) A model of an Irish Elk
• Smilodon (10,000 B.C.)
• Woolly Mammoth (2,000 B.C.)

Today, there are many species that are endangered and may soon be extinct.

British photographer Tim Flach has spent the last 2 years following these animals and documenting their fragile existences. His work has finally been published: Endangered.

There are animals you may already familiar with (polar bear, snow leopard, cheetah), but many others are so incredible, you could even don’t know they exist.
