3. Millions of Buffalo vanished in a remarkably short time for their fur. Some big cats like the Everglades Puma also, but habitat loss is also a factor. The European Mink is on it's last stand because of the imported American Mink for fur farms has escaped into the environment, or released into it by activists.....the two species can't tell each other apart and pair off, but the relationship is sterile. This and outright ousting from their territory by the more aggressive American mink which is actually a tough hybrid drawn from Americas many mink species has brought it to near extinction in Western Europe (now confined to a French enclave), status less clear in East Europe. In Britain the Water Vole is nearly gone due to predation by American Mink. The last Caspian Tiger was seen in 1957. The last Anatolian Leopard was shot in Turkey in the early 1970's, some unconfirmed reports linger. The Ivory billed Woodpecker was hunted to the brink for it's Bill (by Native Americans) and was lost altogether after big time logging in Cuba....it just might still be about after new reports in 2004 in Arkansas can be confirmed.
