With barbels around its mouth for sensing food in murky waters and a slightly flattened underside, it was perfectly adapted for life at the bottom of clean, slow-flowing streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pointed plateau loach became extinct as a result of habitat loss, the streams in which it lived having been changed to reservoirs.

Like other stingrays, the Java stingaree was equipped with a venomous stinging spine on its tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only known Java Stingaree was a specimen acquired in 1862 by German zoologist Eduard von Martens, who saw the fish for sale in a Jakarta fish market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The zoologist described the species in an 1864 journal, naming it <em>Trygonoptera javanica<\/em> (the species was later placed in the genus <em>Urolophus<\/em>). No other examples of the species have been found in the 150-plus years following its discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a length of 33 cm \/ 13 in, the Java Stingaree was a relatively small stingray. It had an oval-shaped pectoral fin disc, and was brown, with both darker and lighter spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Java Stingaree inhabited a region that has been under intense fishing pressure for many decades. Due to their popularity in eastern cuisine, the market for shark (and ray) fins is highly lucrative, causing these fish to be targeted by local fisheries. A vast amount of pollution-causing urban development on the Jakarta Bay shoreline has caused additional difficulties for numerous marine species that inhabit the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Further_Reading\"><\/span>Further Reading<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can see a list of recently extinct animals on this page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activewild.com\/recently-endangered-animals\/\">Recently Extinct Animals<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can see a list of animals that went extinct in 2022 on this page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activewild.com\/animals-that-went-extinct-in-2022\/\">Animals That Went Extinct In 2022<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can see more endangered animals on this page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activewild.com\/list-of-endangered-animals\/\">Endangered Animals<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can see more critically endangered animals on this page:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.activewild.com\/critically-endangered-species\/\">Critically Endangered Species<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On this page, we take a look at animal species that went extinct in 2023\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":21693,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nature-news","category-wildlife-under-threat","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Gone Forever: Animals That Went Extinct In 2023, Full Report<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"List of Animals That Went Extinct In 2023, with pictures and facts.
