The continent of Asia was once home to nearly 30 species of now-extinct mammals. Being hunted, habitat disappearance and disease are just a few of the reasons the Bali Tiger, Chinese Elephant and Japanese Sea Lion are no longer alive and well in Asia.

This book looks at the concept of extinction and the mammals no longer living in Asia, including the Syrian Elephant, Woolly Mammoth, Saudi Gazelle and more.
