Extinct! (This challenge is now closed)

Extinct! What was it and where did it go? Things are dying off all the time and often nobody takes the time to notice. Use your favourite time machine and make us tributes to things that are now (or should be) extinct, and post them on the board.

What ever happened to the spork?
Unbeknownst to most, the spork was an easy target for most hungry marmots.

Looks yummy...
Unfortunately for the Pickled Chicken, its eggs were used as a common bar food.

The same happened to the Rocky Mountain Oyster. Pity they all tasted like hog balls.

giant kitzillas didn't last long
when their main source of natural food, the giant fishthra, died out
they were forced to seek further and further afield for food.
here we see a half-starved kitzilla, a weak and stunted specmin,
marauding through a human habitat. it's wild, hunger-maddened
eyes seek out any possible places where the now-extict fishra
might be lurking.
the last known kitzilla was found dead earlier this year in down-town
basingstoke, and david attenborough is tipped to be doing
a tribute peice on the bbc later this year.
