Megalodon, like all fish, were cold blooded. That means that their body and blood temperature are similar to the temperature of their surroundings (in the case of Megalodon it would be the ocean it swam in).
How did you try to help the passenger pigeon stop becoming extinct?
you can't because it's already extinct ( I'm serious)
Moatus Mongar was one of the largest land carnivores of all time; the largest complete specimen, FMNH PR2081 ("Sue"), measured 12.8 metres (42 ft) long, and was 4.0 metres (13.1 ft) tall at the hips.Mass estimates have varied widely over the years, from more than 7.2 metric tons (7.9 short tons), to less than 4.5 metric tons (5.0 short tons), with most modern estimates ranging between 5.4 and 6.8 metric tons (6.0 and 7.5 short tons). Packard et al. (2009) tested dinosaur mass estimation procedures on elephants and concluded that dinosaur estimations are flawed and produce over-estimations; thus, the weight of Moatus could be much less than usually estimated. Although Moatus was larger than the well known Jur theropod Allosaurus, it was slightly smaller than some other Cretaceous carnivores, such as Spinosaurus and Gigantosurus.
The neck of Moatus Mongar formed a natural S-shaped curve like that of other theropods, but was short and muscular to support the massive head. The forelimbs had only two clawed fingers, along with an additional small metacarpal representing the remnant of a third digit. In contrast the hind limbs were among the longest in proportion to body size of any theropod. The tail was heavy and long, sometimes containing over forty Vertabrae, in order to balance the massive head and torso. To compensate for the immense bulk of the animal, many bones throughout the skeleton were hollow, reducing its weight without significant loss of strength.
How long is an animal endangered before it is classified extinct?
It is classified as extinct when there are NO animals of that species left, not one.
Is the Falkand islands wolf a fox or a wolf?
It is a wolf. Though it's closest realitive is the maned wolf, which is fox-like but is a wolf. They are exincted creatures but the Falkland Islands Wolf/Warrah/
Falkland Islands dog/Falkland Islands fox or Antarctic wolf is a wolf and not a fox.
The megalodon probably died from starvation and its inability to adapt to colder weather.
When the Central American Seaway closed, ice ages followed in which the ocean temperature dropped greatly. The megalodon was used to warmer temperatures and was unable to survive this change. Also, its major source of food, the Cetaceans, started become extinct and the whales the megalodons ate began to migrate to colder waters. Its food supply was cut short and they resorted to cannibalism.
This ancient shark, although one of the most powerful, could not survive the mass changes that took place during that time (late Pliocene and Pleistocene).
What year did the Turkoman Horse become extinct and why?
While the Turcoman Horse died out as a breed, it is the progenitor of thoroughbred racing horses. They died out because of inbreeding and became extinct as a breed in the early 18th century.
Why molar extinction coifficient of KMNO4 is much higher than that of CoCl2?
Molar extinction coefficient is depend on intensity of the colour of solution.If the solution has high intensity of colour, molar extinction coefficient is high.So when considering CoCl2 and KMnO4, CoCl2 has low colour intensity. KMnO4 solution has much intense purple colour.Therefore its Molar extinction coefficient is high.

Do some armadillos have club tails?
in prehistoric times there was a species of armadillo that had a clubbed tail called a Glyptodon
First, the pathogen must have a stable carrier state in a reservoir species. That is, it must be able to sustain itself in the environment when there are no susceptible hosts available to infect. Second, the pathogen must have a high infection rate, such that it is able to infect virtually all individuals of all ages and sexes encountered. Third, it must be extremely lethal, with a mortality rate of c. 50-75%.
What is the Megalodons scientific name?
The scientific name for the megalodon is Carcharodon megalodon.
In what geologic period did the raptor live?
The Velociraptor lived in the late Cretaceous Period, about 75-70 million years ago.
Mastodons lived in herds like modern elephants. Male elephants will leave the herd when they hit adolescence and roam alone or sometimes team up with other bulls, perhaps male mastodons did this too.
EW stands for Extinct in the Wild. Extinct in the Wild (EW) is a conservation status assigned to species or lower taxa, the only known living members of which are being kept in captivity or as a naturalized population outside its historic range.
Examples of such animals include:
* Seychelles giant tortoise
* Abingdon Island Tortoise
* Red-tailed Black Shark
* Père David's Deer
* Barbary Lion (extinct in the wild since 1922)
* Wyoming Toad (extinct in the wild since 1991)
* Hawaiian Crow (extinct in the wild since 2002)
* Alagoas Curassow (extinct in the wild since 1987 or 1988)
* Socorro Dove (extinct in the wild since 1972)
* Guam Rail (extinct in the wild since 1980)
* Black Soft-shell Turtle
* Butterfly Goodeid
* Partula (genus)
Megalodon lived in warm seas in the Cenozoic era. When a megalodon is young it stays in the shallower waters while the fully grown adults live in the deep open seas. They are separated because they have different diets, different sizes (adults will eat the young ones), and because amounts.
How many species of animals become extinct every day in the Amazon?
35,150 animals become extinct every year.
Was the ordovician starfish on a diet?
No it is only humans that diet. All other living things just eat what they can get.
