When did animals begin becoming endangered?

Answer 1

Animal extinction started before the human race was created. Animal extinction is older than the dinosaurs.

Many species of animal became extinct before the dinosaurs existed, and extinctions of animals continue today.

Answer 2

They are not endangered, no group with any logical science background claims this.

What some groups (note absence of the word science) do claim is that someday, if global warming is true and grows, that they could become endangered.... at some point.

They are growing in numbers. They even allow hunting because their numbers are over 25,000.

The picture of the lonely bear stuck on a glacier that AlGore and other individuals have used to obtain money for them, shows a lack of understanding of the bear. One of their alternate names is that of Sea Bear because they enjoy long swims (sometimes for days) in the ocean. The picture is merely a bear in it's natural hunting position.

Answer 3

Extinction is the rule, not the exception. Plant and animal species have been going extinct since the beginning of their existence. Individual species that cannot compete

for food, water or territory, cannot hide or defend themselves or cannot adapt become extinct.

So about 3.3 billion years ago when the first life showed up on the scene.

Or....if you believe in special creation, about 6 thousand years ago.

Answer 4

Animals go extinct when their entire species is killed off, so basically, anytime.
