"Taudactylus diurnus" - also called the southern day frog. Despite their rather lofty sounding name, this species has been extinct since 1979. Efforts have been made to try and find specimens in the wild, but their status was made official in 2004. They used to live in south-east Queensland, Australia. It is believed that one of the causes of their disappearance were feral pigs who both muddied the frogs' waters and fed on them. (Some people say they can still hear their distant dissonant croaks whenever they eat bacon)
