Steller's sea cow
Steller's sea cows appear in two books of poetry: "Nach der Natur" (1995) by Winfried Georg Sebald, and "Species Evanescens" (2009) by Russian poet Andrei Bronnikov. Bronnikov's book depicts the events of the Great Northern Expedition through the eyes of Steller; Sebald's book looks at the conflict between man and nature, including the extinction of Steller's sea cow.
