This is a list of Hawaiian animal species extinct in the Holocene that covers extinctions from the Holocene epoch, a geologic epoch that began about 11,650 years before present (about 9700 BCE)[a] and continues to the present day.
[5] Numerous species have disappeared from Hawaii as part of the ongoing Holocene extinction, driven by human activity.
Fossil finds in caves, lava tubes, and sand dunes have revealed that Hawaii once had a native eagle,[6] two raven-size crows, several bird-eating owls, and giant ducks known as moa-nalo.
Today, many of Hawaii's remaining endemic species of plants and animals are considered endangered.
[8] This list of extinct species only includes the indigenous biota of Hawaii, not domestic animals like the Hawaiian Poi Dog.
