Why do animal become extinct?

Answer 1

Animals can become extinct because of environmental issues, whether it's due to a natural disaster or because people have removed their habitat. They can also be hunted, or poached, to extinction.

• Habitat Loss
• Palm Oil
• Poachers (hunting)
• Deforestation
• Mining
• Poison (meant for other animals)
• Medicine (Chinese plasters made of ground tiger bones)
• Used for meat, fur, ivory, bones and hide (or pelt)

Animals become extinct by there whole species. This happens by multipl reasons a species can be hunted so much so as there are less and less of them it's harder to find a partner for reproduction which means if they are not reproducing the population won't go up.

Answer: Awake magazine 3/2009 pgs 16-17; plants and animals face growing threats all over the world. Some scientist calculate that thousands of species become extinct every year. Pollution and human encroachment pose a threat. Perhaps nowhere ekse is this more evident than in Europe, one of the most densely populated parts of the olanet. Many of the larger mammals of Europe once roamed over vast tracts of the continent. Wolves, bears, lynx, bison, chamois and mountain goats now survive in just a few mountain ranges or in the far north. The majestic animals in the Pyreanean reserves offer a vivid reminder of the wildlife that ince abounded in these mountains.

Answer 2

First of all animals aren't rubbish. Animals become extinct because of human poaching and that certain animal could be eaten by the predator and not be able to reproduce young. Some ways the animal could survive is with good adaptations.

Answer 3

Animal agriculture is the leading cause of species extinction. In addition to the tremendous habitat destruction caused by clearing forests for animal grazing and to grow feed crops, predators and “competition” species are often hunted because of a perceived threat to industry profits. The use of pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers in the production of feed crops interferes with the reproductive systems of animals and poisons waterways. The over-exploitation of wild species through commercial fishing and the “bushmeat” trade, along with animal agriculture’s significant contribution to climate change, all contribute to global extinction of more species than any other cause.
