Extinct animals of Schlung

== Extinct animals of Schlung ==
=== General Information ===
In the heat of colonizing, war, and general idiocy, the animals of Schlung are mostly forgotten. While there are millions of species of animals on the planet, many have succumbed to either deforestation, overhunting, or invasive species. This will only cover well known extinctions
=== Mammals ===
==== St. Augustines Mesheq(Mҡeq Saugͷ) D.O.E: 1882 ====
St. Augustines Mesheq was one of the many species of antlered cats that roamed Snowbul. It was known to hunt rats and small birds, but was incredibly voracious, and attacked deer and livestock, which lead to the extinction of this poor creature. Many farmers in Snowbul, Takavina, and Campasia shot this animal on sight, as to not have their livestock eaten. This went unnoticed by many world governments, and the animal was eventually poached to extinction
==== Silky Mesheq(Mҡeq Svorð) D.O.E: 1902 ====
Much like St. Augustines Mesheq, the Silky Mesheq was hunted to extinction. Its fur was prized for clothing manufacturers, and its antlers were believed to have medicinal properties when ground up. It was constricted to the region in northern Jynphia known as the Ashen Forest, a large forest with its ground made up of ash from previous volcanic eruptions many years ago. 
==== Hordes Bhono(Ɲjetva Hordes) D.O.E: 1709 ====
The Bhono Family(Gjelqul Ɲjetva) as a whole is extinct, as Hordes Bhono is the only one that we know of to exist. Hordes Bhono was a gargantuan terrestrial mammal that resembled a rhino, with a striking feature; its skin resembled bone. This mammoth of a creature mainly ate plants, but judging by its canine teeth, it was omnivorous. Unfortunately, it had a hideously one sided matchup against humans, and was hunted to extinction
=== Birds ===
==== Dusk Hoatzin(Val Djeqq) D.O.E: 1971 ====
The Dusk Hoatzin was the largest bird that was able to fly in Schlung, with a wingspan of 13 feet. Because of its beautiful feathers, it was hunted to extinction in the early 1970s. The animal was known to live in the nation of New California(Mackao).
