Several European zoos had this species in their collections at the time, but they either made no effort to breed it or it did not breed well in captivity. It is correct, of course, to think of extinction this way during the Holocene Extinction, which we are living through right now. A species, wiped off the earth, never to exist again.

Even the most free-wheeling of birders don’t usually consider going to a zoo or a chicken farm a form of birding, but just because they choose to distinguish doesn’t mean they keep a list. Counts for what, exactly? That’s a good question. Presumably for some form of list. Or perhaps not.

The only way most of us will ever see an elephant (or a tiger or a hippo) is on the National Geographic Channel, at a circus or in a zoo. The elitist “animal-rights” zealots hate to admit this. But most zoos and circuses today, including ours, are delicately sensitive to animal well-being.
