Sorry, but while sea scorpions used to exist, they are now extinct. They lived about 390 million years ago.
Who were the American mastodons enemies?
The American Mastodons were top predators and therefore had few enemies. Juvenile Mastodons were at risk from being killed by short-faced bears and American lions.
No.
Don't you realize that gastropods are snails and slugs and such?
If I'm right, none of those are extinct.
What kind of tools did neanderthals use?
they used awls, late hand axes, knives, scrapers, core/hammers, spears, fishing net, bone needles, and possibly harpoons, bows, and arrows
most tools were made from flint stone, bone, and ivory
Poop
EDIT;
No, They did NOT use Bows and arrows, Nor harpoons.
Yes, mosasaurs are extinct. They were a group of large marine reptiles that thrived during the Late Cretaceous period, around 70 to 66 million years ago. Their extinction coincided with the mass extinction event that also wiped out the dinosaurs. Today, they are known only from fossil records.
How can you get cute guys to like you?
It depends. If they are a jock then they usually like somewhat preppy people.
If they are goth or emo then do not be a prep by any means, I'm not saying go slit your wrists but stop wearing pink (if you do).
If he is an artist then we usually like criticisim, but be carefull, we take it seriosly.
This is a girls opinion and I don't try to understand boys minds.
From my friends opinion (some) guys like girls that don't really try to act all flirty and use tricks. He thinks that they are posers.
The main Reason Quaggas can not be cloned is due to the lack of DNA. Scientists have found some DNA but not a full set of 23 pairs of Chromosomes.
Yes, the giant kangaroo rat, a native of California, is now an endangered species. They are considered a keystone species. The kangaroo rat has decreased drastically over the past 50 years. The downfall in their population is mostly caused by human interaction. This is by the destruction of the known habitats of the Kangaroo rat.
What do you call a group of pegasus?
A herd of pegasi.
I thought it was a herd or a flock. you make sense though
The cave lion lived 10 000 years ago in what is now Europe. It is called the cave lion because remains were found in large caves, though biologists doubt they lived in them. It sometimes lead to conflict with early humans. It eventually migrated to Africa, where it's descendants live today. It lived near forests, grasslands, and mountains.
What caused the Thylacine to die out?
The Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, died out during the first decades of the 20th century. The last known Thylacine died in the Hobart Zoo on 7 September 1936.
The reason the thylacine died out was because bounty was placed on it, as farmers feared it killed their livestock. This unusual marsupial was literally hunted to extinction.
It has been suggested that, in the early part of the Twentieth Century an extremely virulent disease began to spread first through the wild then captive populations. Exactly what this disease was remains unknown but it was described as being similar to but distinct from canine distemper. Another theory points to the fact that, by the time the Thylacine was confined to the island of Tasmania, the remaining specimens did not have sufficient genetic diversity to sustain the population. A similar problem is currently affecting the Tasmanian devil, resulting in the spread of the fatal DFTD, or Devil Facial Tumour Disease.
The Thylacine once roamed the Australian continent. Scientists are divided as to why it disappeared from the mainland, with some citing climate change as the cause, and others stating that the arrival of the dingo with the Aborigines created too much competition for food for the apex predators.
Preventive measures to keep an animal from becoming endangered?
* Habitat protection. * Captive breeding programs. * An informed public. * Legal protection from poaching, etc.
How did the didus ineptus become extinct?
Humans indirectly caused the Didus Ineptus (Dodo) to be extinct. We introduced animals such as pigs, monkeys and rats to the Dodo which then ate all the Dodo eggs until there were no more. They became extinct in the 17th century.
I hope this helps,

Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is always conserved, though it can change forms (eg, from potential energy to kinetic energy, or from chemical energy to heat energy).
What is always true about cell size?
A human cell is normally 0.1 mm in the size. Human cells cannot be seen by the naked eyes without the help of magnification.
It is the carbon residue remaining from the organism or part of an organism that has been fossilized. Essentially what happens is that the organism is buried within a layer of sediment which solidifies. A chemical reaction takes place in which many of the elements that compose the organism are converted to gases and driven off, leaving behind a carbon residue (distillation) - and an outline of the original material.
