Extinct birds and mammals

Attached this time, various images of Passenger pigeons, Ivory billed woopeckers, and of Thylacines(Tasmanian tigers) I did in the recent past.There are few studies of suffed animals/ birds included, which helped me to understand the species better. I became aware of Extinct species in the past already, but never tried to create any reconstructions since I didn`t have enough informations. Now I feel it`s about time to make more of these in the future
