This API provides information about animals that became extinct in the last 11,650 years, known as the Holocene extinction. It gathers data from Wikipedia and individual animal pages, allowing users to retrieve information about these extinct species, including their names and last recorded sightings.
Build a random extinct-species fact widget, an educational quiz, or an extinct-animal art collage. You get species names, short descriptions, images when available, and Wikipedia links for each entry. The dataset has roughly 800 animals, though a few records miss images or descriptions. The service is openly accessible but is hosted on Heroku and may take longer to respond after idle periods.
