It's one of the fastest extinctions we've ever done on the show. An Emu half the size of its mainland brethren on Tasmania and Australia will completely disappear in just a handful of years. And somehow machine guns find their way into this story, too...

There’s a good chance you’ve never seen an American Chestnut Tree. That’s because they’re functionally extinct. 4 million of these giants were wiped out in a span of just 40 years!
