Extinct Animals

I think it's the Amur Leopard. there are only 25 left in the wild. For information on how to save this beautiful creature, follow the Related link to see more

Many animals have gone extinct since 1514. Examples include: Eskimo Curlew, Ivory-billed Woodpecker, Martinique Curly-tailed Lizard, Golden Toad and Ainsworth's Salamander.

The Precambrian Period lasted for about 4 billion years and ended about 600,000,000 years ago. It is the earliest geological period and is divided into the Archaeozoic and Proterozoic epochs. It was during this time that earliest forms of life were assumed to be just starting off on earth. The fossil record does not extend back that far, but it would be reasonable to assume that some basic plant life and single cell life forms did not evolve any further.

This ancient species probably ate aquatic vegetation it scraped from swamps or lakes with its shovel like tusks.

it live for many many years but then it died because they died of the heat

Illegal hunting of animals for their fur or other valuable items play a key role in the extinction and endangerment of animals globally. The purchasing of these items should be restricted in order to send a message to poachers that their illegal hunting of endangered animals will no longer be rewarded.

1) It received its common name because most fossils are found in caves although it is doubted that they lived in them. 2) It's the third largest lion. 3) It lived 370,000 to 10,000 years ago. 4) It's only about 7% bigger than most modern lions. 5) It's in the Felidae family. 6) Its Trinomial Name is Panthera Leo Speleca. 7) It was discovered in Siegsdorf, Germany. 8) It's fossil was found in 1985. 9) It lived in Europe and North America. 10) It is a carnivore.

A Pandas diet consists mainly of bamboo. They will eat approx.9-14 kilos per day as they gain little nutritional value or energy from the bamboo and they must keep there stomach full. However if available they will eat eggs, fish and meat.

yes,peaple want to colect them for decoratoin

Well, it started back awhile ago. When the people that sailed the water did not want people to trade over the sea, they told settlers to not go near the water, for fear of being eaten by something or the big waters that tip and sink ships. Because of this, hardly anyone wanted to fish out into open seas. So, the sharks actually had a chance to grow their full body length. But, now, since so many people around the world are fishing and trapping, the sharks don't have a chance to reach that maximum length. Although, more than 90% of our oceans are unexplored.

The sea mink became extinct because is was hunted to extinction for it's fur.

hunting for things such as their fur, pets, shows, food, but regulations weren't introduced by CITES until it was very late and they were on verge of extinction.

Well as the ice age ended it got warmer which is one factor and also just like many other extinct animals they were hunted by cavemen in various way's such as dropping large boulders onto them when they lure them into to tight gaps.

They either existed at one time and we already have records of that animal, or the bones are found in the ground by some unknown person and scientists cannot identify it as a current living animal, leaving the only choice of an extinct animal.

The most obvious way of keeping animals from becoming extinct is through the endangered species protection agency. Basically, other countries need to realize that killing off animals for their skin, eggs, etc... does not help populations make a comeback... However, as to scientists, they can obtain DNA samples and flash freeze the samples for whatever time period is necessary. Then, should the scientists wish to "resurrect" the extinct species, a lengthy process must be taken to reproduce these animals. It's basically like cloning animals (It's not that easy).

Cladogram-In a cladogram a, clade is an evolutionary branch that includes a common ancestor together with all its descendant species.

No. The saber-toothed cats evolved 22 million years ago.

If the eruption was large enough to blot out the sun for a long time, the plants would die. Without plants to feed on, there would be no animals, and ultimately no humans !

If you are referring to irrational animals ,including microrganisms, I am sure you are, if you are considering a sudden extinction of all animals, mankind would be extinct in the world in a short period of time as well, for our existence are closely attached to irrational animals' existence. (domestic and wild animals.). Extinction of all irrational animals implies undoubtedly on the mankind extinction, consequently ending up all sort of living organism all over the world.
If you are referring to a gradual extinction of all animals, human life could be maintained by replacing animals' proteins used on our daily nutrition for other source of proteins, and by adaptating work formerly done by them for mechanical work, but this would worse our standard of living on a VERY high degree. (pets, the beauty of wild animals, the beauty of domestic animals.) Fortunately, on both cases, we are not running towards this terrible event.

it was mostly covered with trees and grass.

Paleontology is the study of prehistoric life through fossils.

The most important and tiny species is the Penguin.

I have heard that many of them are in serious trouble, including:

Polar bears - considered an aquatic species

Dolphins - they get caught in fishing nets

Whales - are still being hunted and killed despite new laws

Manatees - they get run over by motor boat propellers

Salmon - loss of spawning habitat

Most all commercial fish - like tuna, etc., from over-fishing

Additional Info:

Would like to add that Sea lions and Sharks are also at a higher risk.

Addition; !9 of the 22 spicies of Albatross are endangered because of fishing boats and floating plastic refuse. The Amsterdam Albatross has less than 24 breeding pairs left. They only produce 1 egg every 2 years.

yes they are bigger than a polar bear; they overshadow a polar bear.
