10 Most Amazing Extinct Animals. From the Quagga --half zebra, half horse-- to the Irish Deer --the largest deer that ever lived--, an impressive list with pictures of amazing animals we will never see.

When it died in 2006, it was believed to be the oldest living animal ever recorded. This ocean quahog, scientifically known as Arctica islandica, lived for 507 years and came to an inglorious end. In 2006, scientists accidentally killed the clam when they dredged it up off the coast of Iceland and froze it, along with many others, for transport back to the lab for climate change research.
