The next endling in our mini-series is the Thylacine! Thylacines (aka Tasmanian Tigers or Tasmanian Wolves) have been extinct since 1936. Many factors contributed to their extinction, but our own zoological fascination was part of the problem. Learn more in our latest episode. youtu.be/YeMXE8XEmSU

If you guessed Mexican Tetra, you're right! This little tropical fish makes a great pet, but it also lives in cave systems in at least 29 different caves. In addition to the standard, this beast also comes in various versions of "cave flavor." youtu.be/PXW7xcESz-s

Sometimes we can spot when a new species diverges from a nearby population. Certain adaptations can even give us a clue about what’s to come. Our next bizarre beast gives us a chance to see what happens when a single beast makes an evolutionary change. Can you guess what the next bizarre beast is?

Next up on our Endlings mini-series: silphium!
This is the first recorded extinction in history, and of a species so culturally relevant that it was printed on money.

Meet our pin artist: Daniel Mrgan!
My name is Daniel Mrgan, I’m 47, and I’ve been attempting art since early childhood. I was lucky enough to translate this interest into a graphic design job which is my present profession.

Our next bizarre beast is the world’s most bizarre hitchhiker and one tiny weirdo. So tiny you might miss it, but there’s probably one of well over 3000 species nearby right now!

If you guessed hornbills, you're right! Hornbills are kind of like the African or Asian version of toucans. And as for their weird animal bestie...you're likely to find them pal-ing around with a mongoose!

Our next Bizarre Beast has quite an intimidating appearance. This large tropical critter may cause fear with its eyelashed eyes, but the weirdest thing about it is probably its interspecies bestie. Can you guess what the next bizarre beast is?
