Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park, Spain
Beautiful in any season, the Pyrenees have served as a natural border between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe since the earliest civilizations settled there. Located in the centre of the range, the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park was created in 1918 and expanded in 1982. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
With sheer cliffs and deep, verdant valleys, the park’s landscape is a remarkable display of geological landforms and diverse ecologies shaped by the drastic elevation changes of the Pyrenees. The region is home to several species that can only be found here, including the Pyrenean chamois and the Pyrenean desman, or water mole. The mammal considered the rarest and most important in the region, the bucardo or Pyrenean ibex, went extinct in January 2000 despite preservation efforts.

Animal of the Day!
Pyrenean Ibex (Capra pyrenaica pyrenaica)
(Photo in Public Domain)
Extinction Date- 2000
Habitat- Pyrenees Mountains
Size (Weight/Length)- 65 kg; 115 cm
Diet- Grasses
Cool Facts- The Pyrenean ibex, or the bucardo, was a subspecies of the Iberian ibex. These ibex were experts in their mountain homes. Specially adapted hooves let them cling to a nearly sheer cliff face. They lived in small groups but females tended to form separate herds from the males outside of the mating season. Hunting pressure by humans and resource pressure by livestock forced the Pyrenean ibex into a tiny population in the Ordesa National Park. On January 6, 2000, the last Pyrenean ibex named Celia was found dead under a fallen tree. At least… until 2003. The Pyrenean ibex was the first species to become unextinct for the span of about ten minutes when a cloned ibex was born. She passed away due to lung defects and another attempt has not occurred due to ethical concerns and conservation efforts turning towards the remaining Iberian ibex subspecies.
Rating- 13/10 (Saving endangered species should be focused on before bringing back extinct ones.)
