The great auk, a flightless bird, was declared extinct in the mid-19th century, with the last widely accepted sighting occurring in 1844. Intensive hunting for its feathers, meat, and eggs, along with habitat destruction, contributed to its decline. By the 1850s, the species was considered fully extinct.
