Extinct Animals

the idea that extinction evedince is a natural event

1. Kiwi - Small flightless bird
2. Dodo - Larger flightless bird
3. ?

Humans have contributed to the extinction of animals and plants by over hunting/over harvesting since the beginning of man. Sometimes the over hunting that man did also contributed to the extinction of plants because the animal that man hunted was required by the plant or it's seed to reproduce.

The Moa lived in parts of New Zealand, which the Maori used to hunt them, kill them and eat them.But nowadays the flightless Moa is extinct.

The cat was responsible for killing the dodo birds. it was taught that the last group of dodo birds lived around a lighthouse it was soon found that the cat had eaten every dodo bird left. but it was only one.

it is impossible to answer this question as they live in dense jungle and are constantly breeding

Titanis Walleri. This bird is known from the early Pleistocene (Ice Age) of Florida. It is the last known member of the family Phorusrhacidae, a group of large, flightless birds which evolved in South America. This creature had an estimated body height of 3 meters (if it stood fully erect, and 2.5 meters in more normal situations). Titanis really had arms instead of wings.

There were many types of elephant like animals that went extinct. Some didn't look like the elephants we have today. The Moeritherium looked much more like a hippo or tapiar, but was a relative of modern day elephants. There were also the mammoths, mastodons, and several other species that had shovel like tusks on their bottom jaws.

A species who cannot adapt to its environment, cannot survive. Adaptations have kept species from being extinct. Adaptations can include, changes in diet, development of protection such as fur coats against temperature, and even skin color changes to act as camouflage from predators.

The Eohippus became extinct in the mezozoic era (middle age era).

It became extinct because of the climate changes and the struggle to survive. Then it changed into a Miohippus after milions of years.

Animals rely on habitats because each creature has a body structure that must have a specific diet and climate. This is why some creatures are not seen in other parts of the world.without their habitat they would die.

They browsed through coarse arctic grass as an elephant would. You're welcome.

Plant life cannot survive without animal life in the world anyway, because plants give out oxygen to the animals because animals need to breathe in order to live. Animals let out carbon dioxide which plants take in, and the cycle repeats.

that the animal once had a use for that structure depending on where it lived. or that it decended from an animal that had that structure and used it.

2000 pounds is the weight of a full grown cheetah.

Orangutans are now considered to be the smartest of the primates, over chimps. Orangutans have been taught to saw wood, use a hammer to nail structures together and even siphon liquids through a hose. But while that could be simply marked up to rote training, what makes the orangutan smart is its ability to understand why we complete these actions and use them in the wild when they might be helpful. For example, an orangutan was taught how to build a simple protective structure using tools available in the wild. When released from captivity, the orangutan was observed building the same structure to get out of the rain.

Allsirenians are and were vegetarians. The Steller's Sea Cow falls under the category of Sirenia and therefore, they were, before they were hunted to extinction, vegetarians.

They became extinct in the mid-1800s as a result of human exploitation. Men not only massacred the birds for food, they also gathered the eggs of the auk to supplement their diets. The islands where they had nested remain largely uninhabited by humans.

The first American astronaut to walk or float in space, was the late astronaut Edward H.White.

During the Pleistocene Era, roughly 1.8 million b.c.e to 10,000 b.c.e. Pennsylvania was inhabited by various numbers of megafauna. Everything from Mammoths (both Columbian and Wooly) to the American mastadon, lions, ground sloths, musk oxen, wood bison, dire wolves, short faced bears, saber tooth cats, caribou, elk, moose, etc. etc. This is just a small example of typical types of megafauna found in the region, however, there are are myriad of other fauna that once inhabited the region but are now extinct. The variance and survival of these species could have stretched into the early Holocene Epoch (10,000b.c.e.) but research (Archaeological data) to substantiate this is limited but ongoing. Hope this helped...

The quagga had been hunted to extinction for meat, hides, and to preserve feed for domesticated stock. The last wild quagga was probably shot in the late 1870s, and the last specimen in captivity, a mare, died on 12th August 1883. Because of the great confusion between different zebra species, particularly among the general public, the quagga had become extinct before it was realized that it appeared to be a separate species

Officially, none. There have been no confirmed sightings of the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, since the last one died in Hobart Zoo in September 1936. There are none either in the wild, or in captivity.
