Elephants contain valuable parts such as ivory, large bones and meat. Poachers will hunt and kill elephant after elephant just to obtain these precious valuables to sell or to own. Poachers do not care that they are ruthlessly killing a beautiful species, they only seem to care about the price of money they get for the trophies that they have collected from their murders. It is illegal to poach elephants so ivory, bones and meat is usually sold on the black market. Another reason is that elephants also have dental problems because throughout their life, an elephant's teeth will wear out and then they grow new ones. But when their teeth finally wear out for good, they can no longer eat food that they require and they die of starvation. Also, a female elephant will be pregnant for two years before they actually give birth.
African and Asian elephants are both listed on the IUCN Red List [http://www.iucnredlist.org/search ]. The largest threats are habitat loss and poaching. ( Yuu Cann Findd Thee Meaningg Off Poaching By Googlingg It ;) x )
The African elephant is not extinct, but has been hunted in some places. Loxodonta africana and Loxodonta cyclotis are the two species in the Loxodonta genus. Loxodonta adaurora was probably their ancestor, and is extinct, but has not existed for millennia.
The African elephant is not extinct but is a highly endangered species. There were once millions of these animals in Africa but now their numbers have been greatly reduced. They are endangered because of two reasons:
Poaching,loss of habitat,and I think also because of overpopulation.There are probably many,many more reasons.
because some people killed them and they want their teeth
The elephant is not extinct
food
It is the fate of most living things eventually to go extinct. standard commonplace rate of extinction not associated with a mass extinction.
new predators new disease new climate or environment change new competitors for food or land these all contribute to extinction
Is extinction the word you're looking for ?
the answer to the question is extinction
Human activity and pollution will probably be the greatest cause of elephant extinction.
Elephants are becoming extinct due to the killing of elephants for their tusks.
because they have iron in there horns and people kill them for there iron cause its heals diseases
Hunting for their tusks or for their meat and skin, disease, pollution/chemical poisoning, and a disruption in their food chain.
asian elephant
They were overrun by brown elephants.
It was hunted to extinction in the 18th century after the extinction of the elephant bird in the 17th century.
Yes, hunting can cause extinction. Hunting destroys the animals life.
because poachers(human/people) kill them for their tusks
sunlight
Yes it can
poaching.
