when the ice caps melt the sea levels will rise and flood some coastal areas of the world and the animals that live there may become extinct.
Not entirely, due to the evaporation process. Yes, it will condensate, but that will dry out as there isn't enough water to support it. So yes, it will flood some, but the floods would stop due to evaporation.

Causes for the ice caps to melt?
Temperature and pressure is the answer. Also, a piece of ice will melt faster when there is more surface area like with a hollow ice cube.
Why are ice caps on mountains not melting?
Ice caps and glaciers are melting. They melt during summer and build up again during winter, especially if snow falls. One or two glaciers in the world are actually increasing. But most glaciers and ice caps are losing ice.
What caused the giant ice caps that existed in the paleozoic era to melt?

Why did the giant ice caps in the Paleozoic era melt?
