Bramble Cay Melomy Extinct

The Bramble Cay Melomy, a small brown rat, declared extinct in 2016 due to climate change. Unfortunately, when something is declared extinct, science stops looking and recording these creatures unless spotted by accident. Scientists believe climate change induced rising sea levels invaded the Bramble Cay’s habitat. Rising temperatures will reduce wildlife by an estimated 8%.
