ഗ്രേറ്റ് ഓക്കുകളെ മനുഷ്യരെന്തിന് കൊന്നു തീർത്തു..? | Extinction of the Great Auk

The #GreatAuk, a #flightless #bird native to the North Atlantic, was once abundant from Canada to Northern Europe. Valued for its meat, eggs, and down, it was heavily #hunted by #humans. By the early 19th century, its population had dwindled drastically due to #overhunting and #habitat destruction. The last known #breeding pair was killed on #Eldey Island, Iceland, in 1844, with their single #egg crushed in the process. Efforts to collect #specimens for #museums further sealed their #fate. The great auk’s #extinction is a poignant reminder of the impacts of human #exploitation on #wildlife.
