How many years after its discovery was the Steller's sea cow hunted into extinction?

PerkyJoker11170, but it doesn't make them any less extinct.

It should say "discovery by White people", as Indigenous people knew it without hunting it to extinction.

Arohanui, That's so sad.

PerkyJoker11170, humans have the largest brain but the worst kind of animal on earth

Yup that’s people for ya 😟😟

Sad, Sick, Deplorable, Greedy because they took the easy way outut and hunted this slow moving sea cow rather than planning a more equitable way of hunting based on the animals/fish that were available rather going after only one sea creature.

Player Cosmo Chic, back in those days people didn't know any better. Hunting to exstictsion was not in their vocabulary!
