The flightless Great Auk became extinct in 1844. It is thought to have once bred on the Îles-de-la-Madeleine (Magdalen Islands), and it bred in large numbers on Funk Island, off the coast of Newfoundland. The disappearance of the Great Auk is closely linked to hunting by sailors and fishermen, who slaughtered large numbers of the birds for food, bait and oil. Egg collectors also contributed to its disappearance at its last known breeding site, on Eldey Island, Iceland. I guess it was the not so "Great Auk".
