What are some characteristics of species likely to become endangered and extinct as a result of human activities?
long-lived individuals become endangered or extinct as a result of human activity.
What happens when humans catch more fish in a season that can reproduce?
When humans catch more fish than can reproduce, it can lead to overfishing, which depletes fish populations and disrupts the ecosystem. This decline can result in reduced genetic diversity and may cause certain species to become endangered or extinct. Additionally, overfishing can negatively impact the livelihoods of communities that depend on fishing, as well as the overall health of marine environments. Sustainable fishing practices are essential to maintain fish populations and ecological balance.
What causes an animal or plant to become endangered?
For an animal to become endangered, it first would have had to have a large population to begin with. As a result of poachers, loss of habitat, lack of food, lack of adaptation, the members of the species would slowly die out, not going into total extinction. Wildlife conservations catch these animals and breed them in captivity in hopes to replenish the populations.
What animal will become extinct as a direct result of global warming?
polar bears
Why are the animals - King Island emus extinct and how?

How did the Tyrannosaurs become extinct?

When did Tasmanian tigers first become endangered?
The Tasmanian tiger, a carnivorous marsupial (dasyurid), more correctly known as the Thylacine, was never endangered. The various conservation status levels were not in force before it became extinct. It was moved to "extinct" status as a result of being hunted as a possible threat to livestock in Tasmania following European settlement.
How did the Cuban Ground Sloth become extinct?
The Cuban crocodile is critically endangered, not extinct. They are threatened as a result of hunting in their very small range (they only lived on a few Caribbean islands; now they only live in Cuba).
How did Viti Levu become the largest island on Fiji?
Viti Levu is the result of a now extinct volcano.
How could plate tectonics have caused some species to become extinct?
Plate tectonics cause earthquake which may result into upheavals of earth perishing the living objects that become extinct in due course of time.
What do humans do with hammerhead sharks?
Hammerheads are one of the medium sized species of sharks, which make them an easy target for fishermen. Their fins are a delicacy. As a result of overfishing, hammerhead numbers have fallen drastically in many of their habitats. Fishermen usually cut off their fins and toss the remainder of the fish into the sea to die a horrible death. Loss of habitat is another danger to these sharks. Because of widespread uncontrolled hunting, hammerheads are considered an "endangered" species. Unless hunting them is stopped soon, these species may become extinct very soon.
