You may be looking for the audio story.

Extinction was the end of a species caused by either the death of the entire population or over a long period of time in which the species was slowly reduced in number until the last members eventually died.

Mass extinctions

Major catastrophes could cause hundreds to millions of species to die out all at once. In cases of planetary destruction, all the species native to the planet could be driven to extinction (unless any native species had access to space travel).

Individual extinctions

Species would also go extinct on an individual basis, due to a variety of causes.
