Is the North American mastodon an autotroph?
No: an autotroph is an organism that gets its energy without consuming other organisms (auto = self, troph = feed), whether plants or animals. In order to grow, autotrophs need a "food" source, just like the rest of us. They most commonly use sunlight (plants), and sometimes chemical reactions (chemosynthetic bacteria, for example). A mastodon eats plants, plants are organisms, so a mastodon is an herbivore, but not an autotroph.

How are extinct animals different from endangered animals?
extinction is the death of every member of a species or group of taxa (A taxonplural:taxa) or taxonomic unit is a name designating an organism or a group of organisms). A species becomes extinct when the last existing member of that species dies. Extinction therefore becomes a certainty when there are no surviving individuals that are able to reproduce and create a new generation.A species may become functionally extinct when only a handful of individuals survive, which are unable to reproduce due to poor health, age, sparse distribution over a large range, a lack of individuals of both sexes(in sexually reproducing species),or other reason.
An endangered species is a population of an organism which is at risk of becoming extinct because it is either few in numbers, or threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters.
