Every year more and more species teeter on the edge of extinction, and every year several tip over into the void. The year of 2016 wasn’t an exception. Here are a few of the species that disappeared forever at the end of the year.


8. BRAMBLE CAY MELOMYS


Government of Queensland


The Bramble Cay melomys is a small mouse-like mammal that lives exclusively on Bramble Cay, a small island in the Great Barrier Reef. It’s characterized by a long tail featuring bulbous protrusions, the purpose of which is unknown. Climate change and rising sea levels caused habitat loss and the eventual extinction of this animal.
