The last bucardo was a female named Celia who was still alive, but then they captured her, they got a little bit of tissue from her ear, they cryopreserved it in liquid nitrogen, released her back into the wild, but a few months later, she was found dead under a fallen tree.
Posljednji bucardo bila je ženka Celia koja je još bila živa kad su je uhvatili. Uzeli su malo tkiva iz njezinog uha, krioprezervirali ga u tekućem dušiku, pustili su Celiju natrag u divljinu, ali nekoliko mjeseci kasnije  našli su je mrtvu ispod srušenog drveta.
