Why is there animal extinction?

Answer 1

Animal extinction is a bad thing because each animal has a function in an ecosystem. Ecosystems are delicate and removing a piece of them, no matter how small, can have dramatic consequences for the entire ecosystem. For example, if all the fish died a river, the animals that eat them would starve and eventually leave or die off. In addition, everything that the fish ate would be left without a predator and overrun the ecosystem, possibly forcing out other species and depleting a resource.

Answer 2

Animals may go extinct for a number of reasons, including: sickness, natural disasters and human activity such as deforestation. The latter is particularly responsible for extirpation, or extinction of a species in a geographic area. Extirpation across multiple locations can also lead to complete extinction.

Answer 3

because the predator that eats that animal doesnt have enough to eat then they go extinct. and the animal that ate that animal goes extinct and so on

Answer 4

Animal extinction impacts the whole environment. This is because animals are connected. Any animal that eats the extinct animal as a food source then they will not have any food.
