The great auk was a flightless, populous and reportedly delicious bird, once found widely across the rocky outcrops of the North Atlantic.

Human-driven extinction was ‘almost unthinkable’ until the auk’s disappearance, Liam Shaw writes. He joins Tom to discuss when, where and why the great auk died out.
