Question

Could someone give me examples of extinct microorganisms?

Answer 1

A "functionally extinct" organism is one that may have a few individuals still living but will never recover (think Martha the passenger pigeon or Lonesome George the Pinta Island tortoise). Some organisms are "extinct in the wild," meaning they can no longer be found in the areas they once inhabited.
