Extinct Animals

I saw a movie in a science class, and it said every 20-30 minutes.

A species that is in danger of becoming extinct. There are low numbers of the animal and they may not be able to reproduce fast enough to survive as a species. Or they may face some environmental factor that is causing them to not reproduce enough to survive.

Kalobatippus Merychippus PlesippusDinohippus More including the ones listed above can be found at the below link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_horse

animals that depended on a species for a food source or some other need will not be able to get that need if that species is extinct, and will either have diffuculty surviving, or will go extinct.

Even though you cannot find ancient shark skeletons because the cartilaginous skeleton decomposes(under most circumstances), you can find their teeth. Scientists have found teeth from megaladons, and by comparing the teeth to body ratio of existing sharks today, they can estimate that megaladon was the largest known shark that ever lived.

No, the zebra swallowtail butterfly is not a type of endangered species. It is a commonly found butterfly species in Canada and the eastern U. S.

because humans depend on animals for many of our stupid needs and pleasures. we eat animals as a food supply, we need that protein found in their flesh. Fish contain Omega 3 which we also need. horses are made into glue, and baseballs. we also use some animals organs for mediceneal properties. we need to ensure the animals survival for our own

Scientists are unsure. Personally, I believe that they were bottom feeders eating small particles from the sea floor. Considering Hallucigenia lived during the time of the earliest plants, rather than being a carnivorous scavenger it was likely an omnivore or an early herbivore.

As one this is removed from a food chain the whole thing goes out of wack, say mice go extinct what ever used to eat the mice will now have to find a new food source and whatever it chooses numbers will start to decrease and so on a whole habitat can be screwed over

An endangered species is a population of organisms which is in danger of becoming extinct throughout all or a significant portion of its range. A species is considered threatened if it is likely to become endangered in the near future throughout all or most of its range. Another term you might see is candidate species. This is a species that fits the definition of either endangered or threatened, but it has not officially been added to the list. The wood thrush range is widely distributed across the central and eastern U.S. It has a cinnamon brown color on its wings and back, and is white with black spots on its underside. The male wood thrush has one of the most beautiful songs of birds in North America. Wood thrushes are solitary birds, and will defend a territory that ranges from 800 to 28000 square meters! It prefers deciduous, upland mesic forests that have a moderately-dense shrub layer. The Wood Thrush has become a symbol of the decline of songbirds in eastern North America, having its population decline by 43 percent since the 1960s. The threats both come from its North American breeding grounds and Central American wintering grounds. Forest fragmentation in North America has resulted in both increased nest predation and increased cowbird parasitism, significantly reducing their reproductive success. Threats: Forest fragmentation in North American forests results in increased nest predation, increased cowbird parasitism, and continuing destruction of primary forest in Central America eliminates preferred Wood Thrush wintering habitat.

The eagles of the Philippine islands are not extinct. They are extremely rare and fully protected on the four main islands they now inhabit. Once quite diverse across many of the 7100 small islands of the archipelago they are now on the extremely critical list.

Not yet. However, shellfish are subject to a number of stressors which are endangering it. These stressors include over harvesting, pollution, habitat loss, and ocean acidification due to climate change. shellfish will become more endangered and may become extinct over time.

The European sand viper eats small mammals,birds,some lizards.

In North America, the American bison and the Gray wolf suffered from great losses from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.

moths live in plants and in trees,and only eat as a larva. when adults,they just drink liquids.

The dunkleosteus lives in the warmer climates and was Thoth to swim in the shallow

Giant panda bears are indeed furry creatures. They are markings on any two of them are not identical and makes it possible for them and humans (with really good eyes for that kind of thing) to identify them visually.

Extinction happens because of one of three reasons;

1- the animal can not adapt to the environmental changes if they are occurring.

2- the animal has competition with another species that either takes over their territory or wiping out their main source of prey.

3- if this relates to modern times, extinction may happen because man has destroyed the species habitat, hunted the species, or wiped out the species main source of food.

One of the most common threats to extinction today is of global warming, and the devastating effects its having on the earth and the climate. Global warming is slowly warming up earth, slowly melting the north and south poles, causing the changes in sea level and temperature. immediately effecting the animals across the world.

From the time of European settlement, the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, was only known on the Australian island state of Tasmania. However, fossil evidence from a long time ago indicates they once also lived on the Australian mainland and in New Guinea.

The habitat of the thylacine was open bushland such as dry eucalypt forest or grasslands or sometimes the edge of open wetlands.

The last thylacine died in the Hobart Zoo in September 1936.

i do believe its the elephant but i might not be correct.
