The Extinct Thylacine
The last known Thylacine to be killed in the wild was shot by a farmer named Will Faddy. After that, Thylacines survived only in captivity in the primitive zoos that they had at the time. Inlings are also sometimes known as Terminarks, which is a really cool name because based on its roots, Terminark would mean something like the ruler of the end. Benjamin outlasted them, and as such, he was regarded or is regarded as an indling. The zookeepers forgot to put Benjamin into his sleeping shelter during the night, so he was locked out in below zero temperatures and froze to death.
