Meaning in 23 years they were wiped out from their natural environments and only the ones captured were left in the world. The last of the Pinta tortoises known as lonesome George died in 2012.

    The Kiwi has one of the most interesting taxonomic histories to date on this show. They have been classified and reclassified a total of 5 different times since their initial classification in 1813. Originally classified in the order Haeckel, the family Grey, and the Genus Shaw. It went through 3 genus re-classifications, being classified Pseudapteryx in 1891, Stictapteryx in 1926, and Kiwi in 1960. In 2013 it was discovered they were more closely related to the extinct elephant bird than the previously thought Moa bird. Thus the Kiwis was re-classified once again to the Order Apterygiformes, the Family Apterygidae, and the Genus Apteryx.
