A type of animal is extinct when there are no more of that animal left alive anywhere in the world.
It means that all the animals of that type have died, and that type of animal is now lost forever.
Extinct animals are animals that used to live, but no longer exist. For example a T-rex, it used to be alive, but today it is extinct.
Extinct animals are animals that used to live on earth but due to natural or man-made causes have all died out. The species is then called extinct. Extinction means totally gone from everywhere but you'll also see it written where an animal is extinct from a specific location. This is incorrect, the term for local extinction is extirpated.
That's true, but there is a little more to it. I will give a minimum amount: Most of the extinct animals were prehistoric. The reason why dinosaurs were wiped out is because of a meteor. Many other prehistoric species (plants, animals, etc) adapted to a change in environment and habitat so we consider the original form extinct. One of the reasons why animals today are going extinct is because of the loss of habitats, due to cutting down forests, and other man-made environmental changes.
Extinction is a natural process but humans are causing more extinctions at an increasing rate, far more than is natural.
Examples:Barbary Lion- Panthera Leo LeoThe Barbary lion was the largest lion of the species. Barbary lions had a large black mane that covered its belly and ran down its back and shoulders. Big male lions weighed in over 500 pounds and grew up to eleven feet long.
Dodo, dinosaurs, quagga, (although a breeding-back programme has recently commenced, through selective breeding of the southern Plains Zebras).
Also the Cape Lion,the American lion (which was the largest subspecies ever), The passenger pigon( flocks use to be in the millions darkening the evening skies)
Australian extinct species: This list includes the Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger), Eastern Bettong, Eastern hare-wallaby, Tammar Wallaby, Toolache Wallaby, Pig-footed bandicoot, western barred bandicaoot, and many species of hopping-mouse.
Animals can become extinst in the prehistoric ages and modern times.
Som eprehistoric animals are:
Dinosaurs
Mammoths
Smilodons (saber tooth tigers)
Mastodons
Palaeomastodon
Phorusrhacos
Buxella
And some modern day animal extinctions:
Quagga
Dodo
Red Gazelle
Mauritanian duck
Cape Verde Giant Skink
Rodrigues day Gecko
St Helena Giant Earwig
Sympetrum dilatatum
Pantanodon madagascariensis
Ptychochromoides itasy
Unio Cariei
Erepta nevilli
There are also some animals that are extinct in the wild but are still alive in captivity:
Barbary lion
Cape lion
Egyptian Barbary sheep
Scimitar oryx.
The Bottle Nosed Dolphin
The Golden Toad
An example of an extinct animal would be the dinosaurs.
An animals population that has been completely wiped out.
An extinct animal is an animal that has no living member on Earth i.e. all of that species have died.
animal wealth means to preserve our animals because our animals r getting extinct
An extinct animal is an animal that has no living member on Earth i.e. all of that species have died.
you can't have an extinct animal living. It can be endangered or close to being extinct, but not extinct.
i think it will be elephant and after they are extinct then it will be leopard
You don't. It is impossible to save an extinct animal. When something is extinct it is gone forever.
No they might be endangered but not extinct
An endangered animal is a animal that is going to be extinct (never going to live again) unless its situation improves. An extinct animal is a animal that is dead and there are no more of its species to carry on.
Animal scintists
So you can save the animal cause if the animal goes extinct it may be food to another animal making that animal extinct and so on...
There is no such animal now or in the past called a shipe. So, it doesn't exist, but not extinct.
The plant or animal is said to have become extinct.
If an animal is extinct, that means that there are no more living members of that animal species on the planet Earth. Therefore, by definition, there can be NO extinct animals in the Amazon.
