List of North American animals extinct in the Holocene explained

This is a list of North American animals 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]

Recently extinct animals in the West Indies and Hawaii are in their own respective lists.

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

Stag-mooseCervalces scottiGreat Lakes RegionMost recent remains dated to 9230-8930 BCE.
Eastern elkPopulation of the North American wapiti (Cervus canadensis canadensis)Eastern North AmericaTraditionally considered the nominate subspecies, but genetic research indicates that there are not enough differences to consider separate subspecies of C. canadensis in North America, and the taxon C. c. canadensis is not extinct as a result.[44] [45] The last confirmed individual was killed near the Clarion River of central Pennsylvania in 1867, though there were unconfirmed sightings in 1869-1870, and ten claimed killings in northern Pennsylvania in 1878. Western elk were reintroduced for hunting purposes in the same state in 1912.[46]
Merriam's elkPopulation of the North American wapiti (Cervus canadensis canadensis)New Mexico, Arizona, and West TexasNamed as the species Cervus merriami in 1902 on the basis of a single skull; in 1978, an anatomical review of a dozen individuals found just enough of a case to consider it a subspecies of Cervus elaphus (later C. canadensis). Further anatomical and genetic research suggest that all American wapiti likely belong to the same subspecies and that the taxon C. c. merriami is a synonym of C. c. canadensis. Wapiti from other regions have been reintroduced to the purported distribution area of Merriam's elk.
Queen Charlotte Islands caribouPopulation of the caribou (Rangifer tarandus)Graham Island, British ColumbiaDescribed as the subspecies R. t. dawsoni in 1900 due to its isolated location and anatomical differences, but mtDNA studies in 2002 showed not enough differences to warrant separate status.[47] The last known herd was found in 1908, comprising two adult males, one female, and one calf; all but the calf were killed.[48]

Phantom shinerNotropis orcaRio GrandeThe only pure individual known is the holotype taken in 1975, though hybrids with the bluntnose shiner are known as far as 1891. Possibly extinct due to changes to the water flow (which increased hybridization), increased salinity caused by irrigation, and introduced fish species.

Banff longnose daceRhinichthys cataractae smithiBanff National Park, AlbertaExtinct since 1986.[92] Declined after the introduction of several exotic species including mosquitofishes, sailfin mollies, guppies, convict cichlids, and green swordtails, followed by the alteration of water flows related to the use of hotsprings as public baths and sewage spillage. As numbers fell the subspecies became more vulnerable to hybridization with R. c. cataractae, which caused its final extinction.
