Extinct Animals

Its decline began in the early 1940s when the northern and the southern spring which were about 10 yards apart were made into canals and bathhouses were build. The popularity of Tecopa Hot Springs in the 1950s and 1960s led to the building of hotels and trailer parks in that area. By 1981 the Tecopa Pupfish was officially delisted by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and it became the first animal which was officially declared extinct according to the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

longer than a normal ant but the answer can not be exact ,at the most 6yrs

The area that defines Minnesota was an area that woolly mammoth and mastadon would have occupied (as well as bison, giant beaver, etc). The climate in Minnesota during the late Pleistocene was similar to Minnesota's winters now.

Diprotodons (giant wombats) were found in Australia. They were the largest of the marsupials, and the best known of the megafauna.

Diprotodon fossils have been found in outback Australia, through the inland plains. The most common locations for Diprotodon fossils have been the Darling Downs in southern Queensland; inland areas of New South Wales such as the Wellington Caves, Tambar Springs and Cuddie Springs; Bacchus Marsh in southern Victoria; and eastern parts of South Australia such as the Naracoorte Caves and Burra. Hundreds have been found in Lake Callabonna in South Australia, from animals apparently trapped in mud. They were also known on King Island, but not the nearby state of Tasmania; nor have they been found in either the Northern Territory or in far southwest Western Australia.

Yes, it is very much possible. Often, the color of moths depends on the atmosphere in which it lives, hence, a dark moth in the industrial revolution. However, i dont see why it matters. there was not a certain time in which dark colored moths began to appear. Hope this helps!

The Earth's position in space and its movement through the galaxy can impact the planet's exposure to cosmic events, such as asteroid impacts or fluctuations in extraterrestrial radiation. These events have been suggested as potential factors in past extinction events on Earth by affecting the planet's climate or causing catastrophic changes to the environment.

The blue whale is the largest prehistoric animal, not including reptiles. Some prehistoric species of the blue whale were even larger than the current ones.

Sequential hermaphrodites occur in species where an organism is born as one sex, but later changes to the other sex. It is advantageous for an individuals of a species to be able to change its sex because it increases reproductive success.

A significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions, such as from burning fossil fuels, deforestation, or volcanic eruptions, could trigger a climate change event leading to mass extinction. This can cause rapid changes in temperature, sea levels, and biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems and threatening the survival of many species.

Genetic variation in asexual reproduction can arise through mutations, which are random changes in the DNA sequence of an organism. These mutations can introduce new traits and diversity to the offspring, leading to genetic variation in a population. Additionally, genetic recombination can also occur in some forms of asexual reproduction, such as in organisms like bacteria, through processes like horizontal gene transfer.

The National Park Service says the Indarctos found in John Day Oregon stood 16 feet tall, tall enough to look through a two story window.

For all we know, 20 foot bears once lived in Oregon.

Global extinction refers to the complete loss of a species worldwide. This occurs when all individuals of a particular species are no longer alive and no longer exist. Global extinctions can be caused by various factors, such as habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, or natural disasters.

The largest dinosaur bone ever found was a thigh bone, or femur, of a Titanosaur in Patagonia, Argentina. This fossil was uncovered in 2014 and belongs to a species that lived around 100 million years ago.

Carolus Linnaeus real name is Carl Linnaeus. There is no real reason why he changed his name however he does get confused with his son whose name is Carolus Linnaeus the Younger. He also went by the name of Von Linne when he was ennobled in 1761.

Fossil footprints can tell us how the animal moved. The stride length, or the distance between two footprints, tell how fast the animal moved. The longer the stride length, the faster the movement was. Footprints give clues about the animal's weight. The deeper the footprint, the heavier the animal would have been. The size and shape of teeth tell us what kind of food the animal ate, which can give clues about where the animal lived. Animals that ate fish would have lived in or near water, for example. The type of rock the fossils were found in tell us what kind of ground the animal walked on. Scientists learn more about extinct animals by studying live animals and using computer models and simulations. They study living animals to see how their muscles move and how their bones fit together. Computer models and simulations help scientists test their ideas, for example about how fast an animal might be able to run.

No, fortunately, the shark and the octopus cannot interbreed. There will never be a sharktopus!

There is not now, nor has there ever been a sharktopus.

The exact reason for the extinction of elasmotherium is not known, but factors such as climate change, habitat loss, and human activities like hunting are believed to have contributed to their demise. The shift in environmental conditions and competition with other species for resources may have also played a role in their extinction.

Red-backed salamanders do not extract oxygen from the water; they breathe air through their skin and lungs. They have moist skin that allows them to absorb oxygen directly from the air and also have simple lungs for respiration.

Well I'm not sure but the only thing that I know about dinosaur eggs that they are big and not sure if bird or reptile eggs are big

Humans actively conserve many endangered species, such as the Panda. Some species are fighting a losing battle against natural selection, and we're the only reason they're still alive. If humans were to disappear, these species would too. Despite it being humanity's fault that a lot of these species are endangered, humanity dying out would not necessarily solve this.

There are some species of parasites that require human contact for one part, or all of their lifespan, and they are so specialised, that no other host will do. These would die out if there were no more humans.

One famous book that records extinct animals and plants is "The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History" by Elizabeth Kolbert. The book explores how human activities are driving a new wave of mass extinctions on Earth and its impact on biodiversity. Kolbert discusses the history of extinctions and highlights the need for conservation efforts to protect endangered species.
