One is the true meaning of the word extinction, where the last individual of the group is completely wiped out as the capacity to breed and recover from extinction is not possible. The other type of extinction is being extinct in the wild, meaning that there are members of the 'extinct' species in zoos and other rehabilitation programs to try and bring this breed 'back to life'.
