List of European species extinct in the Holocene explained

This is a list of European species extinct in the Holocene that covers extinctions from the Holocene epoch, a geologic epoch that began about 11,650 years before present (about 9700 BCE) and continues to the present day.[1]

This list includes the European continent and its surrounding islands. All large islands in the Mediterranean Sea are included except for Cyprus, which is in the List of Asian animals extinct in the Holocene. The recently extinct animals of the Macaronesian islands in the North Atlantic are listed separately. The three Caucasian republics of Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia are included, even though their territory may fall partially or fully in Asia depending on the definition of Europe considered.

Overseas territories, departments, and constituent countries of European countries are not included here; they are found on the lists pertaining to their respective regions. For example, French Polynesia is grouped with Oceania, Martinique is grouped with the West Indies, and Réunion is grouped with Madagascar and the Indian Ocean islands, despite all of them being politically part of France.

Many extinction dates are unknown due to a lack of relevant information.

Mammals (class Mammalia)

Elephant-like mammals (order Proboscidea)

Elephants and mammoths (family Elephantidae)

Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPictures
Woolly mammothMammuthus primigeniusNorthern Eurasia and North AmericaMost recent remains in the Southern Urals dated to 9650 BCE, and in Cherepovets, Russia to 9290-9180 BCE.[2]
Tilos dwarf elephantPalaeoloxodon tiliensisTilos, GreeceMost recent remains dated to 3040-1840 BCE. A painting on the Ancient Egyptian tomb of Rekhmire (1470-1445 BCE) depicting exotic animals brought to Egypt as tribute by foreign peoples, includes a picture of an animal interpreted as a dwarf elephant by some authors.[3]

Lagomorphs (order Lagomorpha)

Pikas (family Ochotonidae)

Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPictures
Ochotona transcaucasicaGeorgia and Azerbaijan[6] Similar to the Afghan pika. It probably became extinct in the early Holocene.[7]
Sardinian pikaProlagus sardusCorsica and SardiniaMost recent remains dated to 348 BCE - 283 CE.[8] Though hunted by the original human inhabitants of the islands, it likely became extinct due to Roman agricultural practices, the introduction of predators (dogs, cats, and small mustelids) and ecological competitors (rodents, rabbits, and hares).[9] Transmission of pathogens by rabbits and hares could have been another factor.[10] Survival into modern history, even as late as 1774 on the smaller island of Tavolara, has been hypothesised from the description of unknown mammals by later Sardinian authors; however, this interpretation remains dubious owing to anatomical discrepancies.[11]

Carnivorans (order Carnivora)

Cats (family Felidae)

Locally extinct
Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPictures
CheetahAcinonyx jubatusAfrica and western Asia to IndiaRemains were found in Shengavit and Urartu, Armenia dating to the 4th-3rd millennium BCE. It is also depicted in rock art of the 4th-1st millennium BCE, where it can be differenciated from the leopard by the shape of its paws and unretracted claws. Possibly survived in Armenia until the Middle Ages before disappearing due to hunting.[20]
LionPanthera leoAfrica, western Asia, northern India, and southern EuropeAccording to the alternate hypothesis, the modern lion expanded into southern Europe and replaced the cave lion there already in the Late Glacial, surviving in Italy and northern Spain until the Preboreal or Boreal.[21] A possible second colonization event took place in the Balkans during the Atlantic and Subboreal periods, reaching as far as Hungary, southwestern Ukraine, and Greece. In the Iron Age the lion strongly declined until it disappeared from these regions, possibly because of hunting and habitat loss caused by increasing human population and livestock rearing.[22] In 370 CE the Greco-Roman orator Themistius mentioned that lions had disappeared from Thessaly, their last Balkan stronghold. Lions were also hunted historically across Transcaucasia, and were reportedly common in the ungulate-rich Kura-Araz and Mughan plains, up to the Absheron Peninsula, until 900 CE.
European leopardsPopulations of Panthera pardusCentral and southern EuropeA cold-adapted subspecies of the leopard, Panthera pardus spelaea, was widespread in Europe during the Pleniglacial and Late Glacial.[23] A 8850 BCE record from the Franco-Cantabrian region, another from the Preboreal or Boreal of Greece, and two from the Sub-Atlantic of western and southern Ukraine could indicate that leopards survived or recolonized the continent in the Holocene. However, later remains from Hellenistic and Roman sites are confidently attributed to imports from Asia and Africa.

In the Caucasus, the leopard was hunted to extinction from most of the region by the 1950s or 1960s, but still survives in small areas of the North Caucasus, southern Armenia, and Azerbaijan.[24] These leopards belong to the Persian subspecies Panthera pardus tulliana, which also occurs in Anatolia.[25] In 1889 an Anatolian leopard was killed in the Greek island of Samos after swimming from Asia. Local folklore suggests that similar events have happened in the island at different times in history.[26]

TigerPanthera tigrisTropical and temperate Asia to the Black SeaPresent permanently in the Caucasus region and along the Caspian and eastern Azov coasts, the Terek and Kuban rivers, and the estuary of the Don river during the 10th-12th centuries CE, with vagrants recorded as far as Chernihiv, Ukraine. Last recorded in Mingrelia and Imeretia at the beginning of the 17th century, Armenia in the early 19th century, eastern Georgia in 1936,[27] and Azerbaijan's Talysh Mountains in 1966. Last three were all vagrants intruding after tigers stopped breeding in the respective area.[28]

Dogs (family Canidae)

Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPictures
Sicilian wolfCanis lupus cristaldiiSicily, ItalyExterminated by livestock farmers. The last confirmed individual was killed in 1924 near Bellolampo; unconfirmed killings near Palermo were reported between 1935 and 1938, and unconfirmed sightings between 1960 and 1970.[29]
European dholeCuon alpinus europaeusCentral, Southern Europe and the CaucasusMost recent remains dated to 7050-6550 BCE in Riparo Fredian, Italy (with doubts)[30] and Les Coves de Santa Maira, Spain.[31] Claims of 21st century presence of dhole in the Caucasus are erroneous.[32]
Sardinian dholeCynotherium sardousCorsica and SardiniaMost recent remains in Corsica dated to 9910-9710 BCE and Sardinia to 9531-9196 BCE, roughly coinciding with modern human colonization of the islands.[33]

Martens, polecats, otters, badgers, and weasels (family Mustelidae)

Odd-toed ungulates (order Perissodactyla)

Horses and allies (family Equidae)

Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPictures
TarpanEquus ferus ferusWestern Europe to western Siberia,[36] Anatolia?[37] Historical sources record wild horses living until the 12th century in Denmark, 13th in Germany,[38] 14th in Portugal, 16th in Spain,[39] the Vosges, East Prussia, and Lithuania; 18th in the northern Carpathians and southern Urals,[40] and 19th in Poland and Ukraine.[41] The last in the wild was killed in Askania-Nova in 1879, and the last in captivity died in the Moscow Zoo in 1887. Some sources treat them as wild, untameable animals of different nature to horses, and others as feral horses or hybrids, casting doubt on the moment when pure wild horses became extinct in the continent. Despite this, the IUCN considers the subspecies E. f. ferus valid. The Tatar-Cossack word "tarpan" was popularized for European wild horses in the 19th century, though today is sometimes limited to horses from central and eastern Europe.Paleogenomics suggest that horses were domesticated independently in the Ponto-Caspian steppe and expanded to the rest of Europe by the Bronze Age. Early nomadic pastoralists likely released their horses to graze freely at night, resulting in feral populations and hybridization with wild horses. Wild mares were also captured to replenish domestic herds, breaking down the social order of wild herds and diminishing their reproduction. Around 600-1100 CE, the originally high genetic diversity of domestic horses descended to modern levels. In historical times European wild horses were hunted for their meat, hide, traditional medicine, sport, and to protect crops and livestock hay deposits during the winter. Several horse breeds have been claimed to have recent tarpan ancestry including the Konik, Sorraia, Exmoor pony, Hucul pony, Bosnian Mountain Horse, Estonian Native, and Gotland pony. However, genetic and historical evidence indicate that all are typical domestic horses.

HydruntineEquus hemionus hydruntinusSouthern Europe to northern IranRemains dated to 8050 BCE in Western Europe, 3550 BCE in Italy, 3300-2700 BCE in Karanovo, Bulgaria; 3200-2500 BCE in Los Millares, Spain; 2050 BCE in southern Central Europe, and 1500-500 BCE in Keti, Armenia. Questionable remains in Didi-gora, Georgia dated to 1075 BCE. The hydruntine inhabited open steppe habitat that became rarer and fragmented in the Holocene, making it more vulnerable to human exploitation.[42]
Locally extinct
Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPictures
Turkmenian kulanEquus hemionus kulanUkraine to Central Asia[43] Probably present in the deserts between the Volga and Ural rivers until the 18th or 19th century, when it was extirpated due to increasing hunting with firearms and seizure of waterholes for livestock use. 18th century records from Voronezh, Russia are considered unreliable.[44] It was first reintroduced to Askania-Nova, Ukraine in 1950.[45] In 2020 Rewilding Europe released kulan in the Tarutyns'kyj steppe near the Danube Delta.[46] It has also announced plans to release kulan in Spain as proxy for the hydruntine.[47]
Persian onagerEquus hemionus onagerIran and the eastern CaucasusMost recent remains at the Baku fortress dated to the 13th century.

Rhinoceroses (family Rhinocerotidae)

Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPictures
Caucasian mooseAlces alces caucasicusNorth Caucasus and the Transcaucasian coast of the Black SeaHunted to extinction by the beginning of the 20th century. The subspecies' validity is questioned because moose from Russia later colonized the North Caucasus naturally over the 20th century.[54]
Irish elkMegaloceros giganteusEurope and Southern SiberiaMost recent remains in Maloarkhangelsk, Russia dated to 5766-5643 BCE,[55] and in the South Urals dated to 2320 BCE. Alleged Holocene remains from Great Britain, Ireland, Schleswig-Holstein, and Ukraine are poorly dated or erroneous. Scythian engravings from 600-500 BCE that appear to depict Megaloceros could have been based on fossil remains.
Praemegaceros caziotiCorsica and Sardinia[56] Most recently dated to 8718 BCE in Teppa u Lupinu, Corsica and 5641–5075 BCE in Grotta Juntu, Sardinia. It survived the first human colonization of the islands, but became extinct when Neolithic peoples arrived.
Locally extinct

Cattle, goats, antelopes, and others (family Bovidae)

Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPictures
Caucasian wisentBison bonasus caucasicusCaucasus and AnatoliaDeclined after the Russian conquest of the Caucasus as a result of increased hunting, deforestation, and domestic cattle rearing. The subspecies was protected in the 1890s when it was limited to 442 animals in the area between the Belaya and Laba rivers. However an epizootic outbreak in 1919 reduced the animals to just 50, and the last individuals were poached in 1927.[58] The only captive animal, a male, lived in Germany between 1908 and 1925 and bred with females of the lowland wisent subspecies. As a result, several wisent populations carry its genes today.[59]
Carpathian wisentBison bonasus hungarorumCarpathian Mountains and TransylvaniaClaimed subspecies disappeared in either 1762 or 1790, but there is a lack of differences to justify it. It was described from a single neurocranium in the Hungarian National Museum that was subsequently lost in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.[60]
Steppe bisonBison priscusNorthern Eurasia and North AmericaMost recent remains dated to 1130-1060 BCE near the Oyat river in Western Russia. However this date was not calibrated and the remains could be older.[61] Recent calibrated dates include 9450 BCE in the Southern Urals, 8650 BCE in the Middle Urals, and 7550 BCE in Boreal Europe.
Eurasian aurochsBos primigenius primigeniusMid-latitude EurasiaDeclined as a result of hunting, deforestation for agriculture, competition with livestock for pastures, and diseases transmitted by domestic cattle. The last individual in the Jaktorow forest of Mazovia, Poland died in 1627,[62] and the last in Sofia, Bulgaria in the late 17th or early 18th century.[63] [64] There are different active projects to breed aurochs-like cattle and release them in the wild as proxy for the aurochs.
European water buffaloBubalus murrensisCentral, eastern, and southeastern EuropeMost recent confirmed remains in Kolomna, Russia dated to 10811 BCE, during the Last Glacial Period.[65] However, unique genetic introgression into local domestic water buffaloes and possible remains from the Neolithic of southeastern Europe (9000-7000 BCE) and Atlantic of Austria (7000-4000 BCE) suggest that the native European species of water buffalo survived into the Holocene.[66] In 2019, Rewilding Europe released domestic buffaloes in the Danube Delta as proxy for the European water buffalo.[67]
Portuguese ibexCapra pyrenaica lusitanicaPortuguese-Galician borderHunted to extinction around 1890. A different subspecies of Spanish ibex naturally colonized the Peneda-Gerês National Park in the Portuguese ibex's former range during the 21st century.[68] [69]
Pyrenean ibexCapra pyrenaica pyrenaicaPyrenees and possibly the Cantabrian Mountains[70] The last individual, a female, died at Ordesa National Park in 2000. A single cloned individual was born on July 30, 2003, but died several minutes later,[71] making this the first case of biological taxon de-extinction and a taxon becoming extinct twice. In 2014, Spanish ibexes from the Guadarrama Mountains were released in the French Pyrenees as proxy for the Pyrenean ibex.
Balearic Islands cave goatMyotragus balearicusGymnesian Islands, SpainMost recent remains dated to 3969-3759 BCE in Menorca, 3649-3379 BCE in Cabrera,[72] and 2830-2470 BCE in Mallorca. The timeframe allows to confidently exclude climate change as a reason for the extinction and blame it solely on the first human settlers to the islands.[73]

Wild water buffaloBubalus arnee[76] Southern AsiaMost recent remains at Kosi Choter, Armenia dated to the Bronze Age.[77]
TahrHemitragus sp.Southern Europe to the Caucasus and the HimalayasMost recent remains in the Iberian Peninsula dated to 9600 BCE.
MuskoxOvibos moschatusNorthern Eurasia and North AmericaMost recent remains in Sweden were dated to 7050 BCE.[78] The first reintroduction attempt was made at Gurskøya, Norway in 1925, but all animals died because of the unfavorable climate or poaching. Another herd was released at Hjerkinn in the Dovre mountains in 1932. These animals are presumed to have been exterminated during World War II, though there were unconfirmed sightings of muskoxen at Tafjord in 1942 and 1951. The definitive successful reintroduction in Dovre was made in 1947.[79] In 1971 a herd left Dovre after being harassed by tourists and established itself in Harjedalen, Sweden. Norwegians also introduced muskoxen to Svalbard in 1929, outside of the muskox's natural range, but this population died out by the 1970s.
