Detailed explanation-1: -A species is extinct in the wild when it only survives in cultivation (plants), in captivity (animals), or as a population well outside its established range. A species may be listed as extinct in the wild only after years of surveys have failed to record an individual in its native or expected habitat.
Detailed explanation-2: -A species of animal or plant that is extinct no longer has any living members, either in the world or in a particular place.
Detailed explanation-3: -An extinct animal no longer exists. It is completely gone and can no longer be found.
