Species we have lost over the last quarter of a century

Sad, Europe lost another bustard after the last white-bellied bustard died a few years ago.

The last Thick-billed Ground Pigeon (Trugon terrestris) in European zoos died last June in Walsrode.

Broad-billed Roller, Lesser Chachalaca, Marail Guans, Grey-headed Bushshrike, Rufous Treepie and Racket-tailed Treepie returned to Walsrode in the meantime.

Another species that died out in Europe last year in Walsrode is the Long-wattled Umbrellabird (Cephalopterus penduliger).

There's another photo of Rome's Assam macaque here

Also, when I visited in 2010 Palmitos Park (Gran Canaria) had a group of around 5 talapoins on exhibit, with both species displayed together. Unfortunately they were mostly curled up balls of fur, I can't remember how many were Southern, but I remember struggling to see a definite Northern talapoin. If it was a family group, I imagine that there may be at least one survivor. I've had to repeatedly post this listing to zootierliste as it's regularly completely deleted.

The first photo is a female pig-tailed macaque M. leonina

In a post made back in 2015 by @TeaLovingDave the black agouti (Dasyprocta fuliginosa) is mentioned on this thread as a species that has dissapeared from European collections, with some zoos that housed Mexican black agoutis (Dasyprocta mexicana) mistaking both species and labelling mexicana as fuliginosa.
Ever since that post was made, the Mexican black agouti has also dissapeared from European zoos. I was lucky enough to see this species twice, back in 2014 in Faunia (Madrid) and in 2015 at Sendaviva (Arguedas), which housed the last individuals of this species in Europe (Funnily enough, the same individuals Faunia housed). According to Zootierliste a visitor got to see these agoutis as far back as 2018, but they have since been phased out.

Recently the last Pale-winged Trumpeter (Psophia leucoptera) and the last Pompadour Cotinga (Xipholena punicea) died in Walsrode, so we lost two more species.
Last year Walsrode tried to breed the trumpeters.

With the demise of the Spix's guan at Noah's Ark Zoo, the species is no longer present in Europe.
