sixth-extinction: There is only one known specimen of the kawekaweau or Delcourt’s giant gecko (Hoplodactylus delcourti). The specimen measures 37 cm (14.5 inches) from snout to vent. The species once lived in New Zealand, but is thought to have gone extinct in the 1800’s. [Photo Source] Illustration by Peter Schouten from A Gap in Nature. -- source link
