Extinct Animals

In behavioral terms (which are the only terms in which I've ever heard this phrase used) resistance to extinction is to do with the speed at which a subject loses Pavlovian conditioning responses.

Using a well known example is to explain this using Pavlov's dogs. In this classical experiment dogs learned to associate a bell with food and would therefore salivate when a bell was rung, regardless if any food was present.

However, the dogs learned to associate these two as the food was also presented at the same time. If the conditioned stimulus (the bell) is presented without the food enough times this behaviour becomes 'extinct'.

The time that it takes to lose this response is the resistance to extinction.

Hope this helps!

The phyla are a rank lower than kingdom and a rank above class on the taxonomic ranking. The phyla are defined somewhat loosely, with either 'must be clearly more closely related to one another than any other group' or 'a set of characters shared by all the living representatives'.

Extinct animals in India include bharattherium, exaeretodon, gigantopithecus, hyperodapedon, and Indian aurochs. The first fossil of bharattherium was discovered in 1989 and published in 1997, but the animal was not named until 2007.

The Sea Mink is an extinct North American member of the Mustelidae family. It is the only mustelid, and one of two mammalian carnivore species to have gone extinct in historic times. The longest Sea Mink ever recorded was 35.5 inches. The Sea Mink became extinct in the 19th century due to its prized fur, it was hunted until extinction. Before it became extinct it traveled from New England to as far north as Nova Scotia, Canada. Some say it did these long journeys to follow their main source of food, the Labrador Duck.

species can become extinct when people kill all the animals or their habitat is completely destroyed and they can't find food, and other animals kill and eat that species. a third way is that all the animals get a disease that kills the entire species

The moa had 10 different types of species.But now they are all extinct.

Competition from another species

Hunting of the species (by man)

Change in environment.

The moa, a flightless bird native to New Zealand, existed for approximately 80 million years, with its lineage appearing around 70 million years ago. The species became extinct around 600 years ago, primarily due to hunting by the Māori and habitat destruction. Thus, while the moa species thrived for millions of years, its presence in the modern era was relatively brief.

When a species permanently disappears the species is said to be extinct.

It is not known specifically why the Helicoprion because extinct. It is thought that they became extinct in the Triassic period.

No. Don't you remember hearing about Steve Irwin, the "Crocodile Hunter" being killed by a stingray?

Would you be happy in a cage? No. Some zoos are horrible places just set up for cheap entertainment. But some have wide open spaces and really help save animals from extinction. As long as the animal keeps all its skills of the wild than zoos will survive legally. But zoos can turn into a death trap if desease breaks out. lol sabby

Dinosaurs lived during the Mezozoic era, between 251 million years ago and 65.5 million years ago. The Mezozoic era was split into 3 periods: the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. Dinosaurs became extinct 65.5 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous period.

The maximum wingspan of the "Great Albatross" (genus Diomedea) is about 11 feet (3.3 m) from tip to tip. These large wings allow the albatross to fly long distances between isolated islands in their ocean habitats.

Either because of climate change, or competition from Cro-Magnon man (modern humans).

The Colombian mammoth was a herbivore. The large animal ate gigantic fruit in the its time period such as the Osage-orange and the Honey locust.

It depends on if you like snakes or not. If you don't, the world would be good. If you do, then the world would have fewer things that you like. I, for one, like snakes. and if snakes didn't exist, the food chain would be altered and then there would be over population of the animals that snakes eat, which are alot of things. It wouldn't be the best thing if snakes didn't exist, because there would be more mice and rats. Then there might be another plague and millions would die and suffer. It would be terrible.

Right now, scientists are trying to bring back a frozen woolly mammoth, and a saber tooth tiger. To do this, they take DNA of the dead animal, and put it into a living, unfertilized egg (without a nucleus or DNA of a living mother of the closest species and insert it into the mother. If it is fertilized later, then it will be born as the extinct animal.

Well they are now extinct, so there was a time they were in danger of becoming extinct, thus once they were an endangered species. I guess all extinct species were once endangered. It's confusing though because at that time the concept didn't exist so there was no one to think of them as endangered.

Which is sort of like the semantic question "If a tree fall in the wilderness and there is no one to hear it, does it make a sound."
