Must have: Stellers sea cow from http://samuraifrog.blogspot.com/2007/02/firstcontact.html
Caption: Just three decades between discovery and extinction. The first time modern
humans set eyes on the Stellar’s sea cow, a relative of the manatee, was in 1741, when
Captain Vitus Bering and his crew were stranded on a frozen, uninhabited island of the
North Pacific. Bering, the leader of an expedition to map the coast of Alaska for Tsar
Peter I the Great of Russia, died on the island, but roughly half of the members of his
crew survived by feeding on local mammals including otters, sea birds, and the especially
tasty sea cow, which measured a full 9 meters in length, and which they named after the
ship’s naturalist. Shortly after they returned to Russia with hundreds of sea otter pelts and
tales of the delicious sea cow meat, other hunters flocked to the island, decimating its
otter and seal colonies. The last giant sea cow was killed in 1768.
