1. We all need that reminder.

So tragic the loss of all those species.x( Most commonly known of course is the Dodo :

Unauthorised movement of fish, birds and animals by illegal import don't help either. We have constant problems in the UK with illegal carp imports from France carrying a disease which could wipe out our own carp population.

Problems of a different type persist in Tanzania on Lake Victoria with the Nile Perch :

First extinction came for the Carolina Parakeet, but I was not one.......

Come on down t' the big dig
Come on down t' the big dig
Come on t' the big dig
Singin' the Smithsonian Institute blues
Singin' the Smithsonian Institute blues
The way it's goin' La Brea tar pits
I know you just can't lose
The new dinosaur is walkin' in the old one's shoes
Come on down t' the big dig
Can't get around the big dig
This may be premature but if I'm wrong
You can just say it's the first time I was happy t' be confused
Singin' the Smithsonian Institute blues
Alll you new dinosaurs
Now it's up t' you t' choose
It sure looks funny for a new dinosaur
T' be in an old dinosaur's shoes
Dina Shore's shoes
Dinosaur shoes
C'mon down to the big dig
You can't get around the big dig
C'mon to the big dig
Ya can't get around the big dig
Singin' the Smithsonian Institute blues
