List of Hawaiian animals extinct in the Holocene facts for kids

Location of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean.

The O‘ahu ‘ō‘ō (Moho apicalis) is among dozens of bird species that became extinct after the human settlement of Hawaii.

This is a list of Hawaiian species extinct in the Holocene that covers extinctions from the Holocene epoch, a geologic epoch that began about 11,650 years before present (about 9700 BCE) and continues to the present day.

The Hawaiian Islands include the eight major islands (the Windward Islands) and the small islands and atolls of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. They are all part of the U.S. state of Hawaii, except Midway Atoll, which is a separate U.S. territory.

The islands of East Polynesia (including New Zealand, Hawaii, and Easter Island) were among the last habitable places on earth colonized by humans. Estimates for the timing of Polynesian settlement in Hawaii have varied over the decades, but a 2010 study based on radiocarbon dates of more reliable samples suggests that Hawaii was first settled about 1219 to 1266 CE. In 1778, British explorer James Cook became the first recorded European to arrive in Hawaii. An influx of European and American explorers, traders, and whalers arrived shortly after. Hawaii was annexed by the United States in 1898 and became a state in 1959.

Numerous species have disappeared from Hawaii as part of the ongoing Holocene extinction, driven by human activity. Human contact, first by Polynesians and later by Europeans, had a significant impact on the environment. Both the Polynesians and Europeans cleared native forests and introduced non-indigenous species for agriculture (or by accident), driving many endemic species to extinction. Fossil finds in caves, lava tubes, and sand dunes have revealed that Hawaii once had a native eagle, two raven-size crows, several bird-eating owls, and giant ducks known as moa-nalo. Today, many of Hawaii's remaining endemic species of plants and animals are considered endangered. Hawaii has more endangered species and has lost a higher percentage of its endemic species than any other U.S. state. The endemic plant Brighamia now requires hand pollination because its natural pollinator is presumed to be extinct.

This list of extinct species only includes the indigenous biota of Hawaii, not domestic animals like the Hawaiian poi dog. Many extinction dates are unknown due to a lack of relevant information.

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Nēnē-nui	Branta hylobadistes	Maui, possibly Oahu and Kauai	Most recent remains dated to 1046-1380.
Giant Hawaiʻi goose	Branta rhuax	Hawaii (island)	Most recent remains dated to 1380-1500.
Turtle-jawed moa-nalo	Chelychelynechen quassus	Kauai	Only known from subfossil remains.
Small-billed moa-nalo	Ptaiochen pau	Maui	Known from subfossil remains. It was possibly restricted to montane habitat, while the lowlands were occupied by the Maui Nui large-billed moa-nalo. Likely disappeared due to a combination of hunting and predation or competition with introduced mammals.
Kauaʻi mole duck	Talpanas lippa	Kauai	Most recent remains dated to 3540-3355 BCE. Being a flightless, nocturnal, almost-blind species convergent with New Zealand's kiwi, it was likely very vulnerable to hunting and predation by introduced animals.
Oʻahu moa-nalo	Thambetochen xanion	Oahu	Most recent remains dated to 440-639 CE. It possibly disappeared due to a combination of hunting, habitat loss, and nest-predation by introduced mammals.
Maui Nui large-billed moa-nalo	Thambetochen chauliodous	Maui and Molokai	Most recent remains dated to 1057-1375. It occupied low altitudes while the small-billed moa-nalo lived at higher elevations. It likely disappeared due to hunting, and nest predation by Polynesian rats.
Giant Oʻahu goose	Anatidae sp. et gen. indet.	Oahu	Prehistoric
Long-legged shelduck	Anatidae sp. et gen. indet.	Kauai

Rails and cranes (order Gruiformes)

Rails (family Rallidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Kepler's crake	Zapornia keplerorum	Maui	Known from subfossil remains.
Molokai crake	Zapornia menehune	Molokai	Known from subfossil remains.
Laysan rail	Zapornia palmeri	Laysan	Disappeared from Laysan in 1923 after feral rabbits ate all the vegetation in the island. Previously, the species was introduced to other islands in an attempt to save it from extinction, establishing successful populations in Midway (Eastern and Sand Islands). In 1943, military construction in Midway accidentally introduced black rats, which exterminated the rails by either June 1944 or June 1945.
Hawaiian rail	Zapornia sandwichensis	Hawaii (island)	Last collected in 1864; claims of further survival are unsubstantiated. The nominate subspecies Z. s. sandwichensis lived on the leeward side of the island of Hawaii and the subspecies Z. s. millsi on the windward side. It coexisted peacefully with the Polynesian rat but might have been driven to extinction by the black rat. Mongooses were blamed by some authors, but they were not introduced to the island until 1883. Hunting, deforestation, predation by pigs, cats, and dogs, and introduced diseases from poultry may have been contributing factors to its extinction.
Great Maui crake	Porzana severnsi	Maui	Early 12th century/150 C.E.
Great Oʻahu crake	Porzana ralphorum	Oʻahu	Early 11th century/200 C.E. Known from subfossil remains. It was apparently limited to lowland areas while Ziegler's crake occupied the highlands, which would make it even more vulnerable to human settlement than other flightless rails.
Small Oʻahu crake	Zapornia ziegleri	Oʻahu	Most recent remains dated to 650-869 CE.
Great Hawaiian crake	"Porzana" sp.	Hawaii (island)	All prehistoric.
Great Kauaʻi crake	"Porzana" sp.	Kauai
Medium Kauaʻi crake	"Porzana" sp.	Kauai
Medium Maui crake	"Porzana" sp.	Maui

Locally extinct

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
White-tailed eagle	Haliaeetus albicilla	Oahu, Molokai, and Maui	Holocene fossils found on Oahu, Molokai, and Maui. The absence of fossils from other Hawaiian islands might represent a true gap in distribution or a deficiency in the fossil record. The Hawaiian eagle was an isolated, resident population in Hawaii for more than 100,000 years, where it was the largest terrestrial predator. Its extinction could have been related to human-induced ecological changes, although there is currently no direct evidence for temporal overlap with humans.

Extinct in the wild, crows and relatives (family Corvidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Hawaiian crow	Corvus hawaiiensis	Hawaii (island) and Maui	Historically recorded on the island of Hawaii, where it was persecuted as a nuisance during the 19th century. Fossils indicate that this species or a very similar one was also found on Maui before European contact. The last wild pairs bred on the slopes of the Mauna Loa in 1992, by which time there were only 11 or 12 individuals left. One egg was laid in 1996 but didn't hatch, and the last pair was sighted in 2002. A captive population exists, but a release program in 1993-1999 ended in failure.

Reed warblers (family Acrocephalidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Laysan millerbird	Acrocephalus familiaris familiaris	Laysan	Last recorded in 1913. It likely disappeared due to habitat destruction caused by feral rabbits, which were introduced in 1904 and destroyed the vegetation almost completely by 1920.

Hawaiian honeyeaters (family Mohoidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Kioea	Chaetoptila angustipluma	Hawaii (island), Oahu, and Maui	The last individual was collected on the island of Hawaii in 1859. Fossils indicate that this species or a very similar one was also found on Maui and Oahu before European contact. Deforestation, hunting, and introduced predators likely contributed to its extinction.
Narrow-billed kioea	?Chaetoptila sp.	Maui	Known from subfossil remains. The species coexisted with the Hawaiian kioea, but had a much narrower bill.
Oʻahu ʻōʻō	Moho apicalis	Oahu	Last recorded in 1837. Presumably extinct due to habitat destruction and the introduction of disease-carrying mosquitos.
Bishop's ʻōʻō	Moho bishopi	Maui, Lanai, and Molokai	Last recorded on Molokai in 1904, with unconfirmed reports lasting until 1915. A bird thought to be this species was observed on Maui in 1981. It declined due to habitat destruction for agriculture and grazing feral mammals, before being wiped out by introduced black rats and diseases carried by mosquitos.
Kauaʻi ʻōʻō	Moho braccatus	Kauai	Though common before the 1890s, it became restricted to the Alakaʻi Wilderness Preserve by the 1970s, and a single pair survived by 1981. The female disappeared when Hurricane Iwa struck Kauai in 1982, and the male was recorded singing in solitary until 1987. The species likely declined due to habitat destruction, predation by introduced black rats and feral pigs, as well as disease-carrying mosquitos.
Hawaiʻi ʻōʻō	Moho nobilis	Hawaii (island)	Last seen in 1934. Presumably disappeared due to habitat destruction and disease.

Thrushes (family Turdidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Kāmaʻo	Myadestes myadestinus	Kauai	Last reliably sighted in 1985, with unconfirmed sightings until 1991. Likely causes of extinction include disease carried by introduced mosquitos, deforestation and degradation of forests by feral pigs.
ʻĀmaui	Myadestes woahensis	Oahu	Known from a single individual collected in 1825 and fossil remains. The cause of extinction is unknown, though habitat destruction and avian malaria are suspected.

Possibly extinct, thrushes (family Turdidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Olomaʻo	Myadestes lanaiensis	Maui, Lanai and Molokai	Possibly disappeared from Maui in the 19th century. It was last seen in Lanai in 1933, and the last reliable sighting in Molokai happened in 1980 though there were unconfirmed reports in 1988, 1994, and 2005. It could have been driven extinct by diseases spread by introduced mosquitos and habitat destruction.

Oʻahu ʻakialoa	Akialoa ellisiana	Oahu	The species is known from only two specimens collected in 1837, although there were undocumented reports in 1937 and 1940. Thought to have been driven to extinction by habitat destruction and disease.
Maui Nui ʻakialoa	Akialoa lanaiensis	Maui, Lanai and Molokai	Named from three individuals collected on Lanai in 1892; fossils have also been found on Molokai and Maui. The species is thought to have been driven to extinction by habitat destruction, disease, and possibly introduced species.
Lesser ʻakialoa	Akialoa obscura	Hawaii (island)	Last reported in 1940. Likely extinct due to deforestation and introduced diseases.
Kauaʻi ʻakialoa	Akialoa stejnegeri	Kauai	Last reported in 1969. Extinct due to forest clearance and introduced disease.
Hoopoe-billed ʻakialoa	Akialoa upupirostris	Oahu and Kauai	Prehistoric
Giant ʻakialoa	Akialoa sp.	Hawaii (island)
	Akialoa sp.	Maui
Kona grosbeak	Chloridops kona	Hawaii (island)	Restricted to about four square miles by the time of its discovery in the late 19th century, it was last collected in 1894. The reasons of extinction are unknown, but may include habitat destruction, introduced mammalian predators, and avian malaria.
King Kong grosbeak	Chloridops regiskongi	Oahu	Prehistoric
Wahi grosbeak	Chloridops wahi	Maui and Oahu	Prehistoric. Might include the Kauaʻi grosbeak (Chloridops sp.).
Kauaʻi grosbeak	Chloridops sp.	Kauai	Prehistoric. Might be synonymous with the Wahi grosbeak (Chloridops wahi).
Maui grosbeak	Chloridops sp.	Maui	Prehistoric
ʻUla-ʻai-hawane	Ciridops anna	Hawaii (island)	Last collected in 1892, there was an unconfirmed sighting in 1937. The causes of extinction are unknown, but deforestation, malaria, and predation by introduced rats may have been contributing factors.
Stout-legged finch	Ciridops tenax	Kauai	Known from subfossil remains. Likely extinct due to habitat destruction and hunting for feathers by Polynesians.
Molokaʻi ʻula-ʻai-hawane	Ciridops cf. anna	Molokai	Prehistoric
Oʻahu ʻula-ʻai-hawane	Ciridops sp.	Oahu
Black mamo	Drepanis funerea	Maui and Molokai	Last collected in Molokai in 1907; fossils are known from Maui. It probably disappeared due to destruction of its understorey habitat by introduced cattle and deer, and predation by rats and mongooses.
Hawaiʻi mamo	Drepanis pacifica	Hawaii (island)	Last recorded in 1898. Although heavily trapped for its feathers, it was likely driven to extinction ultimately by habitat destruction and disease.
Lānaʻi hookbill	Dysmorodrepanis munroi	Lanai	Only known from a single specimen collected in 1913 and single sightings in 1916 and 1918. Presumably driven to extinction by clearing forests for pineapple plantation, predation by cats and rats.
Oʻahu nukupuʻu	Hemignathus lucidus	Oahu	The last two preserved individuals were collected either during an expedition in 1838 or another in 1840-1841, though native accounts suggest it was still present in 1860. A second-hand report from 1939 is "doubtlessly incorrect".
Giant nukupuʻu	Hemignathus vorpalis	Hawaii (island)	Only known from fossils younger than c. 1000 BCE - 500 CE.
Laysan honeycreeper	Himatione fraithii	Laysan	Disappeared after almost the entire vegetation cover of the island was eaten by introduced feral rabbits. The last three individuals were killed in a storm in 1923.
Kauaʻi palila	Loxioides kikuchi	Kauai	Known from two fossil jaws dated to 1375-1610 CE.
Oʻahu ʻakepa	Loxops wolstenholmei	Oahu	Last recorded in 1930. Probably driven to extinction by habitat destruction and disease.
Poʻouli	Melamprosops phaeosoma	Maui	Last two individuals recorded in 2004; one died shortly after being captured. The precise causes of decline are unknown. Suggestions include habitat destruction and modification, spread of disease-carrying mosquitos, pig activity, predation by rats, cats, and small Indian mongooses; and the decline of native Hawaiian snails as a result of predation by rats and the garlic snail Oxychilus alliaricus.
Highland finch	Orthiospiza howarthi	Maui	Prehistoric
Kākāwahie	Paroreomyza flammea	Molokai	Last recorded in 1961-1963. Presumed to have disappeared due to habitat destruction and disease.
Lānaʻi ʻalauahio	Paroreomyza montana montana	Lanai	Extinct since 1937.
Lesser koa finch	Rhodacanthis flaviceps	Hawaii (island)	Seemed to have been driven to extinction by habitat destruction, and not by climatic variation nor mosquito-vectored diseases. Koa finches were likely driven out of lowland habitat before or shortly after the time of western contact in 1778. The two species from the island of Hawaii persisted until the late 19th century, when their upland refugium was degraded by logging, ranching, and intensified predation by the black rat. The lesser koa finch was last recorded in 1891. According to the IUCN red list, "this or a similar species is also known from the fossil record of O'ahu and Maui" apparently referring to the primitive koa finch (Rhodacanthis litotes).
Scissor-billed koa finch	Rhodacanthis forfex	Maui and Kauai	Known from fossils on Maui and Kauai. Based on its disjunct distribution, the species might have occurred on all main islands except the island of Hawaii, although more fossils are needed for confirmation. The koa finches seem to have been driven to extinction by habitat destruction, and not by climatic variation nor mosquito-vectored diseases. Koa finches were likely driven out of lowland habitat before or shortly after the time of western contact in 1778. The two species from Maui might have survived in an upland refugium until the late 19th century, paralleling the fate of the two species from the island of Hawaii. However, the only verified records are from fossils at a lower elevation.
Primitive koa finch	Rhodacanthis litotes	Maui and Oahu	Known from fossils on Maui and Oahu. Based on its disjunct distribution, the species might have occurred on all main islands except the island of Hawaii and perhaps Kauai, although more fossils are needed for confirmation. The primitive koa finch populations from Oahu and Maui might represent two distinct species, but more fossils or genetic data are necessary. The koa finches seem to have been driven to extinction by habitat destruction, and not by climatic variation nor mosquito-vectored diseases. Koa finches were likely driven out of lowland habitat before or shortly after the time of western contact in 1778. The two species from Maui might have survived in an upland refugium until the late 19th century, paralleling the fate of the two species from the island of Hawaii. However, the only verified records are from fossils at a lower elevation.
Greater koa finch	Rhodacanthis palmeri	Hawaii (island)	Last collected in 1896. The causes of extinction are unknown, but habitat destruction and introduced avian malaria are likely responsible.
Kauaʻi finch	Telespiza persecutrix	Oahu and Kauai	Most recent remains were found in cave deposits dated to 1425-1660.
Maui Nui finch	Telespiza ypsilon	Maui and Molokai	Prehistoric
Maui finch	Telespiza cf. ypsilon	Maui
Strange-billed finch	Vangulifer mirandus	Maui
Thin-billed finch	Vangulifer neophasis
Greater ʻamakihi	Viridonia sagittirostris	Wailuku River, Hawaii (island)	Last recorded in 1901. Its only known forest habitat was cleared to plant sugar cane.
Cone-billed finch	Xestospiza conica	Kauai	Prehistoric
Ridge-billed finch	Xestospiza fastigialis	Oahu, Molokai, and Maui
	Drepanidini gen. et sp. indet.	Maui	At least three different species, all prehistoric.
	Drepanidini gen. et sp. indet.	Oahu	Prehistoric

Possibly extinct, true finches (family Fringillidae)

Common name	Scientific name	Range	Comments	Pictures
Maui nukupuʻu	Hemignathus affinis	Maui	Last confirmed sighting in 1896, though several "unconfirmed detections" happened in 1986-1998, and a single male was seen by qualified observers in the same area in 1995. The species's forest habitat has been eliminated for cattle ranching or otherwise degraded by introduced ungulates, which also spread alien plants and disease-carrying mosquitos. Predation and competition with introduced birds and insects has also been suggested.
Kauaʻi nukupuʻu	Hemignathus hanapepe	Kauai	Last confirmed sighting in 1899, with unconfirmed records in 1984-1998 and 2007. The more recent observations could actually belong to the Kauaʻi ʻamakihi. It possibly declined due to habitat degradation by introduced ungulates, disease, predation and competition with exotic birds and insects.
Maui ʻakepa	Loxops ochraceus	Maui	Last recorded in 1988, with some dubious audio taken afterward. It could have declined due to habitat loss, invasive diseases, and conflict and competition with introduced species.
Oʻahu ʻalauahio	Paroreomyza maculata	Oahu	Last collected in 1968 and last well-documented observation, of two birds, in 1985. It may have been driven extinct by disease spread by introduced mosquitos.
ʻŌʻū	Psittirostra psittacea	Hawaii (island), Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Oahu, and Kauai	Last recorded with certainty in Hawaii in 1987, and in Kauai in 1989, though there were some unconfirmed sightings after 1995. It disappeared from Oahu, Maui, Molokai, and Lanai between 1899 and 1931. It may have been driven extinct by habitat loss, introduced rats, and malaria spread by exotic mosquitos.
