    Not. The suffix is -pithecus, that means monkey in Latin, and is also present in many extant genus. Also Madagascian is not correctly spelled (it's Madagascan, tough there were various species of hippos in Madagascar), and about the jaguar I don't know what are you referring to, since living jaguar is American...

    As much as I would love to see dinosaurs or marine reptiles or pterosaurs or notosuchian crocodiles, they also all went extinct naturally, so I'm going to pick animals that either definitely or probably were killed off by humans. I'm also going to avoid species for which there is credible evidence in recent years and decades for their possible, although not confirmed, survival.

    Pig-footed bandicoot.
    The Fijian mekosuchine crocodile Volia.
    Steller's sea cow.
    Elephant bird (any species).
    Meiolaniid turtles (New Caledonia's species).

    I hate to limit it that much, but it is what it is. I could include thylacines, moas, koala lemurs, giant New Zealand geckos, adzebills, warrahs, and others, for instance.
