So basically the story goes like this: There is only one fossil found and it's around 6.000 years old (correction: 6.000 instead of 3.000 years). The first polynesian people came to Hawaii around 1.600 years ago. Of course the one fossil isn't the only speciem of this duck, but the hole in the fossil record and the lack of any folklore of the hawaiian people about this animal suggest it maybe was already extinct when the first people came to the islands. Of course this is just one theory. The other theory is the fossil record maybe has holes, but the native people of Hawaii are known to hunted down many native animals from Hawaii and other south pacific islands into extinction. So why should a nearly blind duck which maybe behaved like the Kiwi be a exception to this rule? Besides at the place where the one fossil from this duck was found were also many remains from other extinct animals found. So this question maybe a tricky one I guess.

Basically the title. For me it is the Ivory - billed Woodpecker. Iirc his habitat included also the swamps in the southern US which was already protected back then when he was still alive.

Anscheinend hat jemand eine goldene Version des Spiels entdeckt. Da sind 120€ sogar noch geschenkt. 🤡

For me both are great games and maybe the best Harry Potter games ever made. I remember playing the Playstation one and wasn't impressed as much as I played the Gameboy ones. Maybe this is a controversial opinion, but I liked the philospher's stone a little bit more as the chamber of secrets because the mainfocus was on exploration of the school and be a student there. In the chamber of secrets I got the feeling from the start it's mainly about the story and the exploration part was a afterthought.
