How do you set a mammoth combination bike lock?
When the lock is in the open position, twist the plastic part that says "set" 45 degrees. Set the numbers to what you'd like, then turn the "set" button back to the original position and insert the end of the cable. Just make sure not to forget it!
Color information, whether in the composition of the skin of the animal or in its genes, rarely, if ever, survives several million years of fossilizatoin. It is basically up to educated guesses, relying on known traits of the most similar modern species (plural).
the saber tiger eats large prey such as bison, deer, and caribou
When will redheads go extinct?
Don't believe the hype; Redheads are NOT going extinct. Red hair is a recessive gene, and unless all people carrying such a gene die, then the trait will carry on. It is likely, however, that redheads will become more rare in the future. This is due to two factors: 1) some ethnicities don't carry the red-hair gene, and 2) the increased prevalence of interracial marriages.
What are the two theories on the Pleistocene extinction?
One hypothesis holds that rapid climatic changes at the end of the Pleistocene caused extinctions. The other hypothesis, called prehistoric overkill, holds that human hunters were responsible.

Animals can become extinct because of environmental issues, whether it's due to a natural disaster or because people have removed their habitat. They can also be hunted, or poached, to extinction.
- Habitat Loss
- Palm Oil
- Poachers (hunting)
- Deforestation
- Mining
- Poison (meant for other animals)
- Medicine (Chinese plasters made of ground tiger bones)
- Used for meat, fur, ivory, bones and hide (or pelt)
Animals become extinct by there whole species. This happens by multipl reasons a species can be hunted so much so as there are less and less of them it's harder to find a partner for reproduction which means if they are not reproducing the population won't go up.
Answer: Awake magazine 3/2009 pgs 16-17; plants and animals face growing threats all over the world. Some scientist calculate that thousands of species become extinct every year. Pollution and human encroachment pose a threat. Perhaps nowhere ekse is this more evident than in Europe, one of the most densely populated parts of the olanet. Many of the larger mammals of Europe once roamed over vast tracts of the continent. Wolves, bears, lynx, bison, chamois and mountain goats now survive in just a few mountain ranges or in the far north. The majestic animals in the Pyreanean reserves offer a vivid reminder of the wildlife that ince abounded in these mountains.
How do you know the quagga really existed?
The quagga was well documented during the 18th and 19th centuries, including many specimens and even a photograph taken by an early camera. The last known quagga died in captivity in 1883.
What are the roles of the thymus and the lymph nodes in immunity?
The thymus contains large numbers of T cells and scattered dendritic cells, epithelial cells and macrophages. Immature T cells migrate from red bone marrow to the thymus, where they multiple and begin to mature. Lymph nodes filter lymph, which enters a node through one of several afferent lymphatic vessels. As lymph flows through the node, foreign substances are trapped by reticular fibers within the spaces between cells. Macrophages destroy some foreign substances by phagocytosis and lymphocytes destroy other by a variety of immune responses. Plasma cells and T cells that have divided many times within a lymph node can also leave the node and circulate to other parts of the body.
A response needs to be learned through partial continuance so that the condition is aquired.
What are some mastodon adaptations?
Some adaptations of the mastodon include its small ears, teeth and thick, wooly hair. This allowed the mastodon to survive in cold, harsh climates and to eat the coarse tundra grass.

A Dire Wolf weighed if it was small 175 as much as the largest grey wolf but they weigh up to 270 because they have more muscles and bigger head strong bite but this also meant it had shorter legs
Why are bongo's becoming extinct?
In the 1890s, the bongo population was nearly wiped out by a disease called rinderpest. Since then, they have suffered from large-scale hunting (often illegal hunting with the use of snares or dogs). The bongo are often hunted for their large size, their horns, or their colorful, unusual pelts. Also, there has been recent increased predation by lions. Not to mention, that the bongo has very specialized habitat needs and dwell deep within forests, yet these forests are being cleared for agricultural processes such as logging or farming to take place, leaving the bongo without a means to survive.
How did the phantom shiner become extinct?
they just died off im really not sure why and who would want to know this unless yourin science olympiad yes i know who you are

How did sabertoothed tigers go eigstink?
because as it lived in the ice age it must have been adapted to the environment but as the ice age ended the tigers would have drowned into the melted ice or they were probably killed due to the heat and changes in the environment. It could have also had happened because most of their pray ( e.g mammoths) would have died so they could have had starved to death.
They were real. They are believed to be extinct. But you never now...
What animals became extinct due to Natural Selection and why?
the mean reson why animals become extinct due to natural selection is the never ending stuggle for food, for examlpe lets say a deer was liveing in africa and the trees was to high. for the deer to get any leaf's (food) the animal would have to go thew phisical and mental change's.(due to a mutacion in the dna) if not the deer would die because their would be no possible way for the animal to get any food.
