This is a list of Asian animals extinct in the Holocene that covers extinctions from the Holocene epoch, a geologic epoch that began about 11,650 years before present (about 9700 BCE) and continues to the present day. This list includes the Asian continent and its surrounding islands, including Cyprus. The three Transcaucasian republics of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan are included in the List of European species extinct in the Holocene, even though their territory may fall partially or fully in Asia depending of the definition of Europe considered. Species from Western New Guinea (Indonesia), the Aru Islands (Indonesia), and Christmas Island (Australia) are listed in List of Australia New Guinea species extinct in the Holocene. Many extinction dates are unknown due to a lack of relevant information.

Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPicturesSyrian elephantElephas maximus asurusMesopotamiaArchaeological evidence and historical records imply an extinction caused by hunting and deforestation in the 8th century BCE, with war elephants from the 3rd century BCE onward being imports from South Asia. However, the lack of evidence of Asian elephants in the Near East between 200,000 and 3,500 years ago has led some authors to propose that Bronze Age elephants were actually introduced by people to provide themselves with exotic game and ivory. If true, this would invalidate the subspecies E. m. asurus. Javan elephantElephas maximus sondaicusJava, IndonesiaIntroduced to Sulu in the Philippines in the 14th century, before its extinction in Java; survived in the former until its extermination in 1850. However, the extant Bornean elephant has been suggested to have originated from Sulu stock and not be native to the island. If true, this would make the subspecies E. m. sondaicus synonymous with E. m. borneensis and not globally extinct. Woolly mammothMammuthus primigeniusNorthern Eurasia and North AmericaMost recent remains in Wrangel Island, Russia dated to 1795 1675 BCE. Cyprus dwarf elephantPalaeoloxodon cypriotesCyprusMost recent remains dated to 10699 7299 BCE.

Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPicturesSteller's sea cowHydrodamalis gigasBering SeaThe last population was discovered in the Commander Islands in 1741 and heavily hunted for meat and leather until it disappeared by 1768. The hunting of sea otters leading to a proliferation of Strongylocentrotus sea urchins that ate the kelp that the sea cows depended on has been suggested as an additional cause.

Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPicturesIlin Island cloudrunnerCrateromys paulusMindoro or Ilin Island, PhilippinesOnly known from one specimen collected in 1953, generally believed to be from Ilin Island but this is not certain, and could be Mindoro or another nearby location. Later searches in Ilin and Mindoro repeatedly failed to find evidence of this species. If native to Ilin, it could have been threatened by deforestation as the island has no primary forest left in the present.

Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPicturesFormosan clouded leopardPopulation of the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa)TaiwanLast confirmed record in 1983. Though named as a subspecies on the basis of a stuffed specimen in 1862 (N. n. brachyura), later morphological and genetic studies invalidate this distinction. Bali tigerPopulation of the Sunda Island tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica)Bali, IndonesiaLast confirmed individual killed in 1937. Named as a separate subspecies in 1912 (P. t. balica), but later included in P. t. sondaica on genetic grounds. A navicular from Borneo was dated to 8550 1050 BCE. Survival into even more recent times has been proposed on the basis of teeth and skins owned by indigenous peoples, local names, folklore, and alleged sightings including two photographs taken in 1975. However, most authors discount these remains as imports from outside Borneo, and the photographs as hoaxes. Javan tigerPopulation of the Sunda Island tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica)Java, IndonesiaThe last confirmed individual was killed at the Mount Halimun Salak National Park in 1984, Named a distinct subspecies in 1844, but genetic research indicates that it is not different enough from the extant Sumatran tiger, and as a result the taxon P. t. sondaica is not extinct. Though named as the subspecies P. t. amoyensis in 1905, genetic evidence indicates that it is not different enough from other mainland tigers to warrant separate status.

Lena horseEquus lenensisNorthern SiberiaMost recent remains at Bolshoy Lyakhovsky Island dated to 320 220 BCE. Horse remains of undetermined affiliation were also found in a Inuit site at Cape Baranov dating to the 8th 9th century CE. The cold adapted Yakutian horse was speculated to be a descendant of the Lena horse, but genetic evidence shows it descends from domestic horses introduced from Central Asia in the Middle Ages. Nevertheless, the Yakutian horse is used as proxy for the Lena horse in Pleistocene Park.

Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPicturesBactrian camelCamelus bactrianusCentral and eastern Asian steppeGenetic evidence indicates that the domestic Bactrian camel and the extant, more desert adapted wild Bactrian camel (C. ferus) from East Turkestan split over one million years ago. In consequence, the latter species cannot be the wild ancestor of the former, and the unknown ancestor of C. bactrianus must have become extinct at some point after the species was domesticated around 4000 3000 BCE. DromedaryCamelus dromedariusArabian PeninsulaMost recent remains of the wild form at Al Sufouh, United Arab Emirates, dated to 404 BCE. The species survives as domestic and feral populations.

Declined in the 19th century because of habitat loss as its wet grassland habitat was turned into rice fields for export. It was also hunted for meat during the monsoon season, and to use its antlers in traditional medicine.

Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPicturesPere David's deerElaphurus davidianusNorth and eastern ChinaA swamp specialist, it disappeared from the wild around 400 CE and was reduced to a single herd in the walled Nanyuang Royal Hunting Garden of Beijing from the Yuan Dynasty to the late 19th century, when some individuals were traded to Europe. The Nanyuang herd was then exterminated by Eight Nation Alliance troops during the 1900 Boxer Rebellion. In 1985 1987, animals from British zoos were released in protected areas of Beijing and Dafeng (thought to be part of the species's original range due to fossil evidence), from where other captive herds were established later in Shishou and Yuanyang. In 1998, deer from Shishou escaped during severe flooding and established four free ranging populations in Hubei and Henan.

Common nameScientific nameRangeCommentsPicturesHimalayan quailOphrysia superciliosaMussoorie, Uttarakhand, IndiaLast collected in 1868. This species was only seen in Mussoorie for a short time period associated with cold weather. This, combined with its long and soft plumage, led to speculation that it was actually native to a more northern area and that it was pushed southwards during unusual weather conditions. The bird was also extremely cryptic, which would make it hard to detect in other areas where it might still be alive.
