A species who cannot adapt to its environment, cannot survive. Adaptations have kept species from being extinct. Adaptations can include, changes in diet, development of protection such as fur coats against temperature, and even skin color changes to act as camouflage from predators.

What is meat by extinction of animals?
Extinction of any species is caused by either the complete loss of all indivduals of the species, by the inability of the remaining individuals to successfully reproduce or by a reduced genepool that is not diverse enough for the species to survive long term or outside of controlled captivity. While some species have been brought back from the brink of extinction most of these species will not survive long term due to a diminished gene pool that cannot adapt to change.
