Animales extintos: el lobo de Malvinas cuya desaparición predijo Darwin

The guará, a carnivorous mammal native to the Falkland Islands until the mid-19th century, met its extinction due to relentless hunting by British colonists, who sought to protect their sheep. Charles Darwin had predicted its disappearance, highlighting the impact of human activity on wildlife. This extinction underscores the broader consequences of colonization and the often devastating effects on indigenous species and ecosystems. It serves as a reminder of the historical interplay between human expansion and biodiversity loss.
