The last member of the species was saved by a Modrakanian conservation team. However, their spacecraft crashed onto the Arctic tundra of prehistoric Earth and the conservation team died. The final Gappa survived on Earth, frozen in the ice. The Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones encountered this Gappa in Snowglobe 7 on Earth in 2099, after the section of the arctic containing the creature was moved. (PROSE: Snowglobe 7)
