The passenger pigeon, once abundant in North America, went extinct in the early 20th century, with the last known individual dying in captivity in 1914. However, the last confirmed wild sighting occurred in the 1910s. By the 1960s, the species was already considered extinct, as efforts to find any remaining individuals were unsuccessful. The extinction of the passenger pigeon serves as a stark reminder of the impacts of habitat destruction and hunting.
