The drawing below is an interpretation of the history of the passanger pigeon, a species that was once abundant in North America. The passenger pigeon is now extinct; humans largely caused this, through hunting and deforestation in the 19th century. The last known living passenger pigeon was named Martha. Martha lived her life in captivity, dying on September 1st of 1914.
