Answer 2

Some animals take a very long time to mate, so the population of that animal slowly decreases. Pollution takes away a lot of breathing air, so animals don't have the right kind of air to breath. A whole lot of people kill and hunt animals. So, they die off. Deforestation is a major problem with a whole lot forest living animals. We humans take much of the forest habitat away because we cut down trees, and use the wood for stuff to build homes with.

Answer 3

All species extinctions are caused by one thing: the species is unable to adapt to changes in its environment. These changes can include climate change, altering the quantity of their food supply (or eliminating it), or the arrival of new competition, etc.

The reason that most endangered animals today are threatened is from one of a few reasons (in no particular order); first, is habitat loss, caused by logging, farming, etc, second is overhunting, and third is climate change. There may be a few smaller reasons that effect a few species, but those are the most common.
