its probably because of hunter dramatic changes in said animals natural habitat such as a fish out of water also it could be caused because of them trying to kill each other also by radiation new sickness or holes in the ozone layer (O3) eventually depleting and causing unhealthy changes in temp.
Global whining
The effect of mass extinction is extinction, death of a mass
When human contributes into global warming some animals like polar bears and those who cannot bear heat may cause mass extinction
There were five major extinction events in the past. They are called the Cretaceous-Tertiary (or K-T) extinction event, the late Devonian mass extinction, the Permian mass extinction, the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction and the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction event.
the holocene extinction
The dinosaurs fell victim to a mass extinction.
This would be called a mass extinction or mass die off.This would be called a mass extinction.
540 million years ago was the first mass extinction
The most extreme that we are aware of was the Permian Extinction about 252 million years ago, in which 95% of all life was killed. The cause is still unknown, although it is possible that this was an impact event.
The results of ozone depletion can be devastating. It would directly cause mass extinction.
We are still not sure what caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, though an asteroid impact seems to be the popular theory.Scientists believe we may be heading towards another mass extinction event.
For all mass extinctions (except the Cretaceous/Paleogene extinction) two probable causes are volcanic eruptions and ocean anoxia.
