The Banded Hare-Wallaby is not extinct. It is currently endangered (as of 2011). It is found only on three islands off the northwest coast of Western Australia.

The biggest threat to the banded Hare Wallaby comes from introduced predators such as foxes and cats. Their food source has been compromised by the proliferation of animals such as the goat and rabbit, while drought has also wiped out populations of this wallaby.

What was the first species to be extinct?

The first life on earth was unicellular organisms. These organisms reproduced asexually, meaning that they reproduced by copying themselves. Because they did not interbreed, a slight mutation in the DNA caused a new species to exist. If one of the mutant cells failed to divide, that was a species becoming extinct. Humans cannot even begin to fathom the number of these species there must have been or when they started to become extinct. Extinction is a natural process and cannot be stopped; when we talk about being concerned about extinction we generally mean extinctions caused by modifications made to the environment by humans.

The banded piglet squid is a small squid, with the piglet part of its name referring to its appearance. It appears to have a smiley face, caused by a certain alignment of skin pigments on its face.
