When do you call a species endangered versus threatened?
In order to be considered endangered, the species is in danger of extinction. To be considered threatened, the species has to be likely to become an endangered species.

When an animal or plant may become extinct it is called?
It's called Endangered if a species is threatened to go extinct.
Differentiaate between endangered species and threatened species?
Threatened means that the animal is vulnerable to extinction and the population of the animal is declining. (ex: Certain species of whale population are being threatened.) Endangered means that the animal will soon be extinct if nothing is done about it. Some endangered animals are being bred in captivity until their numbers increase enough to be released back in the wild. (ex: Bald Eagles are an endangered species of bird. Pandas are an endangered species of bear.) Extinct means that the animal has completely died out and there aren't any left of this species. (ex: Dinosaurs are an extinct species of reptile. Dodo is an extinct bird.) Here's a visual: Threatened-------------> Endangered---------------> Extinct
What are the differences between extinct endangered and threatened?
Threatened animals are ones that are legally listed as susceptible to becoming endangered - the animals are becoming more rare because of attributable factors determined by scientific studies. Species of concern is a species that may sometime in the future become threatened but that requires more study. More information about this is: They are species, populations and ecological communities that are considered by the NSW Scientific Committee to be at risk of extinction in the immediate to medium-term future in NSW. Together this information is described as 'threatened'.
What is threatened with extinction?
Yes. These species are considerably lower than other species in numbers, due to hunting, habitat destruction, or other means. These animals can have from 1,000 to 10,000 left to be considered endangered. Critically endangered species have 200 or less left.
Would other animals become endangered if nothing changes?
If we keep on harming the enviornment, then yes, some animal species could become threatened, endangered, or maybe even extinct!

How does the elimination of a species impact the ecosystem?
The elimination of a species can have significant impacts on the ecosystem. It can disrupt the food chain, as the species may have been a predator or prey for other organisms. This can lead to imbalances in population sizes and cascading effects throughout the ecosystem. Additionally, the removal of a species can affect the availability of resources and alter the structure and function of the ecosystem.
How long have tortoises been on the earth?
No, the desert tortoise has the official status of 'threatened' but not endangered at this time (2014). If populations continue to decline, they could become endangered in the future, however.
