The Kauai Oo was a bird from Hawaii that became extinct in 1987. However, thanks to a record of its song made by ornithologist Thane Pratt, we can still hear this species speaking to us from beyond the grave. It is a recording of what could well have been the last male of the species calling out to a female that will never arrive. This song has gone around the world, being heard by millions of people who have empathized with the feeling of loneliness and naive hope that it seems to convey. His story and his singing have inspired documentaries, songs, memes, works of art and all kinds of creations.
But what about those birds and other animals that have gone extinct before we could record what they sounded like?
