What is the oldest breed of horse besides the Przewalski's horse?
PHC Quiz for cash ANSWER Arabian
Actually the Tarpan is extinct and the horses they are using to recreate the breed are those closely related and showing charactoristics of the Tarpan. As for the Arabian, although Arabian horse fans and breeders would like us to believe that the Arabian is the oldest bred (other than the Przewalski, of course) it has been found that the Caspian Pony is actually older than the Arabian and probably even influenced the Arab breed. ArabianProbably the Tarpan, which is technically extinct but was (Revitalized) By Selective breeding in the various collective farms of the former U.S.S.R. It was somewhat similar to (Old unpronouncable) but larger and more horse-like . It did not resemble a Donkey or Mule! The last wild tarpans died in l879 or thereabouts- but zoos and govt.l preserves got their act together with captive breeding, like the Pere David Deer of Imperial China!

What are some man-made factors of extinction?
The three primary man made factors that cause extinction are as follows:
1. Deforestation, either for developing, farming, or lumber is causing many species to be threatened or even endangered.
2. Overhunting, overfishing, and poaching are threatening many species of animals.
3. Pollution, which can cause trouble ranging from global warming, to toxin induced illnesses, and some animals even get their digestive system totally stopped up by unwittingly eating so much trash. That leads to starvation once there is too much trash in the animal's gut for their to be food
What animals lived on Pangaea?
Pangaea existed from the Permian, about 299 million years ago, through the Triassic, and into the early Jurassic.
There were very different animals in Pangaea during the Permian than there were in the Triassic because, at the end of the Permian, about 90% of species became extinct in the worst mass extinction in Earth's history.
PermianInsects in Pangaea included beetles, dragonflies, and flies. Early in the Permian, large amphibians and pelycosaur reptiles, like the carnivorous, sail backed Demitrodon, or the herbivorous, sail backed Edaphosaurus. Later in the Permian the archosaurs evolved, which later gave rise to the dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and crocodillians. There were also therapsids, the reptillian ancestors of mammals. TriassicThe temnospndyli, which were large amphibians, and therapsids both survived the Permian extinction event. Archosaurs were the primary terrestrial vertebrates. There were herbivores such as Hyperodapedon, and carnivores like Postosuchus. The first dinosaurs were small meat eaters like Eoraptor, and small, long necked, herbivorous dinosaurs called prosauropods, evolved in Panagaea during the Triassic.Why did the cockroach not become extinct?
The cockroach has not become extinct due to the fact it can live in all environments and can live off of minimal food. A cockroach does not even require oxygen in the amounts of other species.
