What would happen if the Indus river dolphin were to become extinct?

The prey species of the river dolphin, such as fish and shrimps, would suddenly boom and dominate the ecosystem as there would be no predator keeping their populations in check. Whatever those prey species feed on would suddenly decrease as there would be more organisms feeding of it. When one species becomes extinct, it can cause other species to also become extinct. However hopefully the ecosystem returns to an equilibrium eventually.

Hope this helps!

A list of rainforest animals that are extinct?

Sadly, almost too many to count. Unbelievably, about 30-100 different animals species, including insects, birds, mammals, and amphibians become extinct every single day!This is due to loss of habitat loss and invasion by humans. if you count how many animal species have died just within the last 10 years, it makes a list much to large to put down.

Why are koalas more susceptible to extinction due to feeding behaviors?

Koalas are specialist feeders, living in eucalyptus trees and eating only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. They also occasionally eat the gum tree blossoms.

While there are hundreds of different eucalyptus species in Australia, koalas eat from only about 60 of the species, consuming about half a kilogram of eucalyptus leaves every day. Koalas will not eat all types of eucalyptus, feeding on just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus.

Specialist species are often more prone to extinction because they rely on such a limited range of food. However, in the case of the koala, this is not what may eventually lead to their extinction. Dogs and cars pose a far greater threat, as koalas walk along the ground to travel between trees in their home range, and this is when they are at their most vulnerable.

Are cave bears and short faced bears the same thing?

No they are quite distinct, though they were both probably omnivorous the Cave bear (Ursus spelaeus )probably tended more toward vegetarianism while the short face (of the genus Arctodus) lent more toward a carnivorous diet. The cave bear was a Eurasian species, whereas Arctodus' origins are in North America. Physically they would have appeared very different, the Cave bear is related to and was similar in size to large examples of modern Brown bears, and would have appeared similar. Whereas the Short face has only one extant relative the South American Spectacled bear, and was larger in size, closer to and possibly exceeding that of the largest Polar bears today, though more lightly built and with longer legs. More recent interpretations of the fossil evidence have led to it often being viewed as a 'super scavenger', rather than 'super predator'.
