Extinct animals from the Isle of Man
Manx cattle. Manx cattle became extinct c. 2034. A description of the breed survives along with a record that the Manx people referred to them as "Boaghans" or "Boghans" (Manx words for cow include "Booa" and "Baa"). Thomas Quayle described the Manx breed, just as they were dying out, in his 1812 "General View of Agriculture in the Isle of Man": Manx sheepdog. The Manx sheepdog was a breed of sheepdog from the Isle of Man that is now extinct. Little is known about the breed except that it had a remarkable "ability  to 'hould' or separate and immobilise, any sheep which was pointed out" (W. Walter Gill). The following extract is believed to have been written by a Ms. A. L. J. Gosset; It continues ... It continues ... Manx horse. Manx horses also became extinct c. 1820–1830. Of them Thomas Quayle said, Manx pig. The Manx pig were known to the locals as 'purrs'. They had completely died long before Thomas Quayle wrote this about them; Other extinct species. Four species of birds that once bred on the Isle of Man have gone extinct locally; of these, the great auk is extinct worldwide . None of these animals were solely native to the Isle of Man. Several other species of mammals, such as the brown bear, wolf and Eurasian beaver, may have once been present in the Isle of Man. However, no evidence has been found of their existence.
