Extinct Animals of Europe-Pictures
For each picture, identify the animal formerly native to Europe which became extinct in the last 10,000 years
Includes species which were present and later became extinct on other continents. So long as they lived in Europe among other places, and became extinct in the last 10,000 years, they are on here.
Unlike the North American quiz, this includes several island dwelling animals.
Several of these species are wild variants of domestic animals

Holocene Extinctions
The hydruntine, wild horse, and aurochs survive as domestic variants of wild animals, the donkey, horse, and cow. In the case of the "tarpan" it isn't clear if "tarpans" like in the photo are just escaped domestic horses or if they are truly a remnant population of wild horses. Either way, there were definite wild horses on the pontic steppe prior to domestication even if the tarpan shown in this photo might not be one.
Mammoths aside, which barely made it over the 10kya limit in the Urals, the rest of the species here held on until agriculture started up. While people think of Irish Elk as Ice Age animals, they survived on the fringes of the European Steppe until ~6,000 years ago before dying out.
