Lost Animals Of The 20th Century	comment	Lost Animals of the 20th Century, also known by its abbreviated title Lost Animals, is an 16-episode documentary series shown on the Discovery Channel first aired in 1995. The series chronicles the extinction of various species and subspecies of animals during the early half of the 20th Century due to human exploitation, carelessness, and greed. The first eight episodes of the series were narrated by Greta Saatchi, while the remainder of the series was narrated by Lin Sagovsky.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Many of the episodes are themed after a specific aspect of human action that led to their extinction: ruthless exploitation, the fur and feather trade, habitat loss, and introduced species. One episode featured species that either weren't extinct after all or could still be revived in some way due to their closeness to extant animals.A few vignettes of the series can be found in YouTube here, here, and here.

Lost Animals Of The 20th Century / int_1044a759	comment	Dying Race: Many of the animals featured became one for a time. In most segments, humans only started caring when it was almost too late.

Lost Animals Of The 20th Century / int_1e95dd12	comment	Adam and Eve Plot: Heartbreakingly averted. Some species, like the passenger pigeon and the pink-headed duck, were kept in captivity but never bred. The last Carolina parakeets were also down to a mated pair.

Lost Animals Of The 20th Century / int_4e3d253b	comment	Downer Ending: For most episodes. Human activities invariably cause the entire species to die out, and attempts to save them come too late. A few segments are fortunately retroactively averted thanks to recent rediscoveries.

Lost Animals Of The 20th Century / int_6af8ebb5	comment	Death by Falling Over: The fate of what had once been thought of as last living Marion's Giant Tortoise. The last specimen, the mascot of a military camp, died by falling off a gun turret rather than just old age.
