The Last of Its Kind tells a compelling story about extinction by imagining a friendship between a biologist and the last of the Great Auks. I had the opportunity to review this one for The Seaboard Review. www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/the-last-o.... #extinction, #GreatAuks

The last confirmed pair of #GreatAuks were killed in 1844 on #ThisDayInHistory near Iceland, leaving the North Atlantic's #penguin species extinct. Great auks are not closely related to the penguins of Antarctica but the latter were named for them due to the physical resemblance.
