List of Asian animals extinct in the Holocene

Map of Asia

This is a list of Asian 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) ^{[lower-alpha 1]} and continues to the present day. ^[1]

This list includes the Asian continent and its surrounding islands, including Cyprus. The three Transcaucasian republics of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan are included in the List of European species extinct in the Holocene, even though their territory may fall partially or fully in Asia depending of the definition of Europe considered. Species from Western New Guinea (Indonesia), the Aru Islands (Indonesia), and Christmas Island (Australia) are listed in List of Australia-New Guinea species extinct in the Holocene.

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

Mammals (class Mammalia)

Elephant-like mammals (order Proboscidea)

Elephants and mammoths (family Elephantidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Syrian elephant	Elephas maximus asurus	Mesopotamia	Archaeological evidence and historical records imply an extinction caused by hunting and deforestation in the 8th century BCE, with war elephants from the 3rd century BCE onward being imports from South Asia. However, the lack of evidence of Asian elephants in the Near East between 200,000 and 3,500 years ago has led some authors to propose that Bronze Age elephants were actually introduced by people to provide themselves with exotic game and ivory. If true, this would invalidate the subspecies E. m. asurus. [2]
Javan elephant	Elephas maximus sondaicus	Java, Indonesia	Introduced to Sulu in the Philippines in the 14th century, before its extinction in Java; survived in the former until its extermination in 1850. However, the extant Bornean elephant has been suggested to have originated from Sulu stock and not be native to the island. If true, this would make the subspecies E. m. sondaicus synonymous with E. m. borneensis and not globally extinct. [3]
Woolly mammoth	Mammuthus primigenius	Northern Eurasia and North America	Most recent remains in Wrangel Island, Russia dated to 1795-1675 BCE. [4]
Cyprus dwarf elephant	Palaeoloxodon cypriotes	Cyprus	Most recent remains dated to 10699-7299 BCE. [5]
Asian straight-tusked elephant	Palaeoloxodon namadicus	South and East Asia	The date 7330-6250 BCE was obtained from carbonaceous clay near Palaeoloxodon remains in the Baneta Formation of the Narmada Valley, India, suggesting survival into the Holocene, though no direct datation was taken from the bones. [6]

Sea cows (order Sirenia)

Dugongs (family Dugongidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Steller's sea cow	Hydrodamalis gigas	Bering Sea	The last population was discovered in the Commander Islands in 1741 and heavily hunted for meat and leather until it disappeared by 1768. The hunting of sea otters leading to a proliferation of Strongylocentrotus sea urchins that ate the kelp that the sea cows depended on has been suggested as an additional cause. [7]

Lagomorphs (order Lagomorpha)

Rabbits and hares (family Leporidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments
Don hare	Lepus timidus tanaiticus [8]	Russia	Gradually replaced by the extant mountain hare south to north until becoming extinct during the Subboreal, 3050-550 BCE. [9]

Rodents (order Rodentia)

Old World rats and mice (family Muridae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Alor Island giant rat	Alormys aplini	Alor Island, Indonesia	Most recent remains at Tabubung 4 dated to 62 BCE - 87 CE. The extinction coincides with a period of aridification, deforestation, and extinction of other giant rat species in the island. [10]
	Carpomys dakal	Luzon, Philippines	Most recent remains dated to 2050-50 BCE. Probably disappeared due to increased aridity and deforestation. [11]
Buhler's coryphomys	Coryphomys buehleri	Timor	Most recent remains dated to around 50 BCE. [12]
Timor giant rat	Coryphomys musseri	Timor	Most recent remains dated to around 50 BCE. [12]
	Crateromys ballik	Luzon, Philippines	Most recent remains dated to 2050-50 BCE. Probably disappeared due to increased aridity and deforestation. [11]
Miyako long-tailed rat	Diplothrix miyakoensis	Miyako Island, Ryukyu, Japan	Most recent remains dated to around 9050-8050 BCE. [12]
Hooijer's giant rat	Hooijeromys nusantenggara	Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia	Most recent remains dated to around 1050 BCE. [12]
	Milimonggamys juliae	Sumba Island, Indonesia	Most recent remains dated to 54-222 CE. [12]
	Niviventer sp.	Ishigaki Island, Japan	Most recent remains dated to 2050-50 BCE. [12]
Verhoeven's giant tree rat	Papagomys theodorverhoeveni	Flores, Indonesia	Most recent remains to around 1050 BCE. [12]
	Raksasamys tikusbesar	Sumba Island, Indonesia	Most recent remains dated to 1935-1700 BCE. [12]
Flores cave rat	Spelaeomys florensis	Flores, Indonesia	Most recent remains dated to the Holocene. [13]

Possibly extinct

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Ilin Island cloudrunner	Crateromys paulus	Mindoro or Ilin Island, Philippines	Only known from one specimen collected in 1953, generally believed to be from Ilin Island but this is not certain, and could be Mindoro or another nearby location. Later searches in Ilin and Mindoro repeatedly failed to find evidence of this species. If native to Ilin, it could have been threatened by deforestation as the island has no primary forest left in the present. [14]

Primates (order Primates)

Great apes (family Hominidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Mainland orangutan	Pongo sp.	Southern China and Indochina	Holocene remains are known from China, Vietnam, Laos, [15] [16] and possibly Cambodia, [17] while the existence of an indigenous, onomatopoeic name in Vietnam (Duoi U’Oi) and indigenous folklore in Peninsular Malaysia suggest survival into historical times. [15] It possibly disappeared as a result of hunting and habitat destruction for agriculture, though evidence is scarce. [16]

Gibbons (family Hylobatidae)

Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Imperial gibbon	Junzi imperialis	Shaanxi, China?	Known only from an incomplete skull found in the tomb of Lady Xia, grandmother of Qin Shi Huang, who died around 240 BCE. Possibly declined due to deforestation and capture of individuals to become pets. [18]

Bats (order Chiroptera)

Megabats (family Pteropodidae)

Locally extinct

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments
Panay golden-crowned flying fox	Population of the giant golden-crowned flying fox (Acerodon jubatus)	Panay, Philippines	Extinct population named as a distinct species (A. lucifer) in the 19th century, [19] but later included in A. jubatus. [20]

Vesper bats (family Vespertilionidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments
Gloomy tube-nosed bat	Murina tenebrosa	Tsushima and possibly Yakushima, Japan	Last collected in 1962. Suggested as a possible synonym for the Ussuri tube-nosed bat (M. ussuriensis). [21]
Sturdee's pipistrelle	Pipistrellus sturdeei	Haha-jima, Bonin Islands, Japan	Only known from the type specimen collected in 1889. [22]

Carnivorans (order Carnivora)

Cats (family Felidae)

Locally extinct

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Formosan clouded leopard	Population of the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa)	Taiwan	Last confirmed record in 1983. [23] Though named as a subspecies on the basis of a stuffed specimen in 1862 (N. n. brachyura), later morphological and genetic studies invalidate this distinction. [24]
Bali tiger	Population of the Sunda Island tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica)	Bali, Indonesia	Last confirmed individual killed in 1937. [25] Named as a separate subspecies in 1912 (P. t. balica), but later included in P. t. sondaica on genetic grounds. [24]
Bornean tiger	Population of the Sunda Island tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica)	Borneo and Palawan, Philippines [26]	A navicular from Borneo was dated to 8550-1050 BCE. Survival into even more recent times has been proposed on the basis of teeth and skins owned by indigenous peoples, local names, folklore, and alleged sightings including two photographs taken in 1975. However, most authors discount these remains as imports from outside Borneo, and the photographs as hoaxes. [27]
Javan tiger	Population of the Sunda Island tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica)	Java, Indonesia	The last confirmed individual was killed at the Mount Halimun Salak National Park in 1984, [25] though a tiger was sighted near Sukabumi Selatan in 2019 and one recovered hair was identified as closer genetically to a Javan museum specimen than to tigers from Sumatra, southeast Asia, and Russia. [28] Named a distinct subspecies in 1844, but genetic research indicates that it is not different enough from the extant Sumatran tiger, and as a result the taxon P. t. sondaica is not extinct. [24]
Caspian tiger	Population of the mainland Asian tiger (Panthera tigris tigris)	Western and Central Asia	The last known wild individual was killed in Turkey in 1970, and the last in captivity in Iran during the 1979 Revolution. [25] Though named as the subspecies P. t. virgata in 1815, genetic evidence indicates that it is not different enough from other tigers of the Asian mainland to warrant separate status. It was closest to the extant Siberian tiger. [24]
South China tiger	Population of the mainland Asian tiger (Panthera tigris tigris)	Southern China	Last recorded in the wild around 2000; survives in captivity. [29] Though named as the subspecies P. t. amoyensis in 1905, genetic evidence indicates that it is not different enough from other mainland tigers to warrant separate status. [24]

Odd-toed ungulates (order Perissodactyla)

Horses and allies (family Equidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Tarpan	Equus ferus ferus	Iberian Peninsula to Western Siberia; [38] Anatolia? [39]	Historically recorded in Western Siberia until the 18th century. Analysis of bones found at archaeological sites from the Chalcolithic period (c. 3000-2000 BCE) show wild horses in this area belonged to the subspecies E. f. ferus and not to Przewalski's horse (E. f. przewalskii). [38]
Syrian wild ass	Equus hemionus hemippus	Fertile Crescent	Last known individual died in captivity at Vienna Zoo in 1927. It probably disappeared from the wild around the same time. [40]
European wild ass	Equus hemionus hydruntinus	Southern Europe to northern Iran	Most recent remains at Sagzabad, Iran dated to 1294-1035 BCE. [41]
Lena horse	Equus lenensis	Northern Siberia	Most recent remains at Bolshoy Lyakhovsky Island dated to 320-220 BCE. Horse remains of undetermined affiliation were also found in a Inuit site at Cape Baranov dating to the 8th-9th century CE. The cold-adapted Yakutian horse was speculated to be a descendant of the Lena horse, but genetic evidence shows it descends from domestic horses introduced from Central Asia in the Middle Ages. [42] Nevertheless, the Yakutian horse is used as proxy for the Lena horse in Pleistocene Park. [43]
Ovodov horse	Equus ovodovi	Southern Siberia to northern China	Most recent remains in China dated to 1666-1506 BCE. [44]

Extinct in the wild

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Przewalski's horse	Equus ferus przewalskii	Central and eastern Asian steppe	Last confirmed sighting in the wild in the Gobi Desert in 1969. It was reintroduced to the Gobi and at Hustai National Park, Mongolia in 1992. [45]

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Woolly rhinoceros	Coelodonta antiquitatis	Northern Eurasia	Environmental DNA last detected in permafrost dating to 8050-7650 BCE near the Kolyma river, Russia. [47]
Vietnamese rhinoceros	Rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus	Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and eastern Thailand	Last individual killed at the Cat Tien National Park, Vietnam in 2010. [48]
Lesser Indian rhinoceros	Rhinoceros sondaicus inermis	Northeastern India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar	Last confirmed individual killed around 1888 in the Sundarbans. Survival into the 20th century is doubtful, certainly not past 1925. [49]

Possibly extinct

Northern Sumatran rhinoceros	Dicerorhinus sumatrensis lasiotis	India, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Myanmar	Confirmed extinct in the three former countries but could survive in the Lassai Tract of Myanmar. [50]

Even-toed ungulates (order Artiodactyla)

Camels and llamas (family Camelidae)

Extinct in the wild

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Bactrian camel	Camelus bactrianus	Central and eastern Asian steppe [51]	Genetic evidence indicates that the domestic Bactrian camel and the extant, more desert-adapted wild Bactrian camel (C. ferus) from East Turkestan split over one million years ago. In consequence, the latter species cannot be the wild ancestor of the former, and the unknown ancestor of C. bactrianus must have become extinct at some point after the species was domesticated around 4000-3000 BCE. [52]
Dromedary	Camelus dromedarius	Arabian Peninsula	Most recent remains of the wild form at Al Sufouh, United Arab Emirates, dated to 404 BCE. [53] The species survives as domestic and feral populations.

Pigs (family Suidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments
Cebu warty pig	Sus cebifrons cebifrons	Cebu, Philippines	Described from skulls collected in Cebu island, where the species Sus cebifrons is now extinct, but lack of other remains makes the subspecies distinction with other Philippine islands populations dubious. [54] The whole species is threatened by habitat fragmentation caused by logging and agriculture, hunting pressure, and hybridization with domestic pigs. [55]
	Sus sp.	Miyako Island, Japan	Most recent remains dated to 9050-8050 BCE. [12]

Hippopotamuses (family Hippopotamidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Cyprus dwarf hippopotamus	Phanourios minor	Cyprus	Most recent remains dated to 10699-7299 BCE. [5]

Locally extinct

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Common hippopotamus	Hippopotamus amphibius	Subsaharan Africa, Egypt, and the Levantine coast [56]	Disappeared from the Southern Levant during the Iron Age (1200-586 BCE). Being a large semiaquatic species, the hippopotamus was particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and loss caused by the expanding human population. [57]

Chinese river dolphins (family Lipotidae)

Possibly extinct

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Baiji	Lipotes vexillifer	Middle and lower Yangtze River, China	Last confirmed sighting in 2002; unconfirmed reports, including possible video footage, continued in the Tongling area until 2007. The species declined as a result of habitat loss by water development and construction, hunting, incidental mortality caused by fishing and vessel strikes, sedimentation from poor land practices, and pollution. [58]

True deer (family Cervidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Miyako roe deer	Capreolus tokunagai	Miyako Island, Ryukyu, Japan	Most recent remains dated to 9050-8050 BCE. [12]
Irish elk	Megaloceros giganteus	Western Europe to southern Siberia	Most recent remains at Kamyshlov, Russia dated to 5845-5673 BCE. [59]
Schomburgk's deer	Rucervus schomburgki	Central Thailand	Last known animals in the wild were killed in 1932 near Sai Yoke and Kwae Yai, and the last in captivity was killed in 1938. Declined in the 19th century because of habitat loss as its wet grassland habitat was turned into rice fields for export. It was also hunted for meat during the monsoon season, and to use its antlers in traditional medicine. [60]

Extinct in the wild

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Pere David's deer	Elaphurus davidianus	North and eastern China	A swamp specialist, it disappeared from the wild around 400 CE and was reduced to a single herd in the walled Nanyuang Royal Hunting Garden of Beijing from the Yuan Dynasty to the late 19th century, when some individuals were traded to Europe. The Nanyuang herd was then exterminated by Eight Nation Alliance troops during the 1900 Boxer Rebellion. In 1985-1987, animals from British zoos were released in protected areas of Beijing and Dafeng (thought to be part of the species's original range due to fossil evidence), from where other captive herds were established later in Shishou and Yuanyang. In 1998, deer from Shishou escaped during severe flooding and established four free-ranging populations in Hubei and Henan. [61] [62]

Cattle, goats, antelopes, and others (family Bovidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Bubal hartebeest	Alcelaphus buselaphus buselaphus	North Africa and Southern Levant	Disappeared from the Southern Levant during the Iron Age (1200-586 BCE). [57]
Caucasian wisent	Bison bonasus caucasicus	Caucasus and Anatolia	Present in eastern Turkey until the Iron Age. [63]
Steppe bison	Bison priscus	Northern Eurasia and North America	Most recent, confirmed remains were dated to 6870-6950 BCE near the Popigai River in the Taymyr Peninsula of Russia, [42] and environmental DNA of bison was recovered from permafrost in northeastern Siberia dating to 5050-3800 BCE. [47] Partial B. priscus remains are hard to distinguish anatomically from B. bonasus, which muddles the timeframe of its extinction in Europe and Western Siberia; often the species B. priscus is assigned to Late Pleistocene remains and B. bonasus to Holocene remains without further discussion. [42] However B. priscus is both genetically distinct and known to have survived into the middle Holocene of North America. [64] Remains of either B. priscus or B. bonasus were dated in the Angara River basin to 2550-2440 BCE, [65] and a small bison persisted in the Baikal region until the 7th-10th century CE (considered B. priscus by Boeskorov [42] and B. bonasus by Sipko [66] ).
Indian aurochs	Bos primigenius namadicus	Indian subcontinent	Most recent remains dated to 2200 BCE in Karnataka, India. The Indian aurochs was independently domesticated and is the originator of the zebu cattle. [67]
Eurasian aurochs	Bos primigenius primigenius	Mid-latitude Eurasia [68]	Present near Lake Baikal on 3020-2960 BCE, [69] China by 1900-1745 BCE, [70] Southern Levant until the Iron Age (1200-585 BCE), [57] and the Turkey-Syria border until the Late Middle Ages. [63] The Eurasian aurochs was domesticated in Anatolia in the eighth millennium BCE, [46] originating most domestic breeds of taurine cattle.
Cebu tamaraw	Bubalus cebuensis	Cebu, Philippines	Described from a partial skeleton from either the Late Pleistocene or the Holocene. [71]
	Bubalus grovesi	South Sulawesi, Indonesia	Most recent remains dated to the Middle or Late Holocene. [72]
Short-horned water buffalo	Bubalus mephistopheles	South, central, and east China	Most recent remains at Gaoling, Xi'an dated to 1750-1650 BCE. The domestic water buffalo now present in China is not a descendant of B. mephistopheles but was introduced from Southeast Asia. [73]
Queen of Sheba's gazelle	Gazella bilkis	Taiz, Yemen	Only known from five animals hunted in 1951. [74]
Saudi gazelle	Gazella saudiya	Arabian Peninsula	Last recorded in 1970. It was hunted to extinction. [75]

Kouprey	Bos sauveli	Northeastern Cambodia	Last confirmed record in 1969. It was hunted for its meat, skull and horns. [76]

Extinct in the wild

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Lowland wisent	Bison bonasus bonasus	Western Europe to southern Siberia	Present during the Holocene in the southern Urals, Western Siberia, the Kuznetsk Depression, Altai and Baikal regions [66] (if the latter wasn't B. priscus [42] ). The subspecies became globally extinct in the wild after the last wild animals were hunted in Poland during World War I, but survived in captivity. [77] It was reintroduced to the Altai in 1982-1984. [66]
Arabian oryx	Oryx leucoryx	Arabian Peninsula	Extinct in the wild in 1972 and reintroduced in Jiddat al-Harasis, Oman in 1980. [78]

Locally extinct

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Muskox	Ovibos moschatus	Northern Eurasia and North America	Most recent remains in the Taymyr Peninsula, Russia dated to 615-555 BCE. [69] It was reintroduced to the Bikada River area in the same region in 1974. [79]
Lesser kudu	Tragelaphus imberbis	East Africa and western Arabian Peninsula	No skeletal remains known but appears in Holocene rock art from Saudi Arabia and possibly Jordan in numbers and detail suggestive of being a native species to the area. [46] Recent presence in the Arabian Peninsula is controversial. In 1967, a pair of horns were claimed to have been taken from an animal shot in Jabal Halmayn, Yemen; another was shot in Nuqrah, Saudi Arabia in 1968. Some authors believe both were escapees from private collections, [80] others that the distance between the two locations is larger than it would be expected for introduced specimens. [46]

Birds (class Aves)

Ostriches and fossil relatives (order Struthioniformes)

Ostriches (family Struthionidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
East Asian ostrich	Pachystruthio anderssoni [81]	Lake Baikal to Yellow River [82]	Eggshell fragments most recently dated to 7600-6245 BCE in Shabarakh-usu and Barun Daban, Mongolia. [83] [lower-alpha 3]
Arabian ostrich	Struthio camelus syriacus	Near East and Arabian Peninsula	Last confirmed individual killed in Jubail, Saudi Arabia around 1941; there was also a second-hand report of a dying animal north of Petra, Jordan in 1966. Its closest relative, the North African ostrich, was introduced as a substitute in Saudi Arabia in the 1990s. [85]

Landfowl (order Galliformes)

Pheasants and allies (family Phasianidae)

Possibly extinct

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Himalayan quail	Ophrysia superciliosa	Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, India	Last collected in 1868. This species was only seen in Mussoorie for a short time period associated with cold weather. This, combined with its long and soft plumage, led to speculation that it was actually native to a more northern area and that it was pushed southwards during unusual weather conditions. The bird was also extremely cryptic, which would make it hard to detect in other areas where it might still be alive. [86]

Waterfowl (order Anseriformes)

Ducks, geese, and swans (family Anatidae)

Possibly extinct

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Pink-headed duck	Rhodonessa caryophyllacea	Northern and eastern India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Myanmar	Last recorded in Bihar in 1948-1949. It was uncommon and non-migratory despite its vast range. Declined due to trophy hunting, as it was generally not considered good to eat, and habitat destruction. [86]
Crested shelduck	Tadorna cristata	Primorye, Hokkaido, and South Korea; possibly North Korea and northeastern China	Last confirmed record in 1964. [87]

Catanduanes bleeding heart	Gallicolumba luzonica rubiventris	Catanduanes, Philippines	Described from one specimen collected in 1971. Recent sightings were reported in 2008, but its current status is unknown. [86]
Sulu bleeding-heart	Gallicolumba menagei	Tawi-tawi, Philippines	Described from two individuals collected in 1891, when it was considered extremely rare, but there were unconfirmed local reports in 1995 that it was abundant until the 1970s. Possibly became extinct due to hunting and deforestation. [90]
Negros fruit dove	Ptilinopus arcanus	Negros Island, Philippines	Only known from the type specimen, a female, collected in 1953. Its mate was also shot but the body fell in the underbrush and could not be retrieved. Likely disappeared due to hunting and large escale deforestation of the island. [86]

Cranes (family Gruidae)

Locally extinct

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Australian sarus crane	Grus antigone gillae	Philippines and northeastern Australia	The extirpated Philippine population was described as the subspecies G. a. luzonica on the basis of differences with the Indian (G. a. antigone) and Indochinese subspecies (G. a. sharpii), but genetic studies indicate that it was identical to the Australian subspecies. [91]

Northern bald ibis	Geronticus eremita	Mediterranean region	Last wild individual recorded at Palmyra, Syria in 2014. The birds of this region migrated to Ethiopia and Djibouti in the winter by way of Jordan and eastern Saudi Arabia, where they were hunted and sometimes killed in unprotected electric wires. Another reason for decline was the degradation of habitat in Syria due to aridification, livestock grazing, and firewood collection, along with poisoning by pesticides in Turkey. [93] A semi-wild population survives in Birecik, Turkey where birds range free for part of the year but are recluded and fed at the time of migration. [94]
