Extinct Animals

Yes, "Megalodon" should be capitalized as it is a proper noun referring to a specific species of prehistoric shark.

The moa, flightless birds native to New Zealand, lived on Earth until about 600 years ago. They were hunted to extinction by the Maori people and possibly also by introduced predators like humans and dogs.

The scientific name for the big pig in the Denver Museum of Nature and Science is "Brachiosaurus altithorax."

The scientific name for the extinct animal known as the Diprotodon is Diprotodon optatum. Otherwise known as a giant wombat, this animal is the one from which the order 'Diprotodontia' was derived. Diprotodontia encompasses marsupials such as wombats, koalas, kangaroos and possums (but not opossums, which are of a different order).

The scientific name for the mythical animal known as the dragon is "Draco" or "Draco volans" which is a genus of gliding lizards found in Southeast Asia.

The term 'passenger' was taken from the French word 'passager' which means 'to pass by'. Passenger pigeons took quite a while to 'pass by' because in the 1800's and before, their flocks were so huge. This is probably where the name came from.

There are many, many animals that are extinct. Extinct animals include the Stellar Sea Cow, the Thylacine, Caspian Tiger, and the Quagga just to name a few. For a detailed list of all known extinct animals, see the Related Links.

The scientific name for quagga is Equus quagga. It is a subspecies of plains zebra that was native to South Africa but became extinct in the late 19th century.

The largest flightless bird in New Zealand was the Giant Moa (scientific name Dinornis maximus and Dinornis giganteus),

Over time, India has seen several species of plants and animals go extinct. Some of the extinct species are the Nilgiri Holly (Ilex gardneriana), Kerala Legume Tree (Cynometra beddomei), Courtallum Wendlandia (Wendlandia angustifolia) and Meghalaya Sterculia (Sterculia khasiana).

It's called Endangered if a species is threatened to go extinct.

"Sauros" is a Greek word that means "lizard" or "reptile." It is commonly used as a suffix in scientific names of reptiles to indicate their class or order.

During the time of dinosaurs, early mammals, birds, and various reptiles lived alongside them. The majority of dinosaurs roamed the Earth during the Mesozoic Era, particularly during the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. These creatures inhabited different regions around the globe, from forests and swamps to deserts and plains.

yes, he died of strangles in season 3. the episode was called quarantine

They are not extincted

about 360 million years ago

Peacocks are highly sought after for the religious purposes their feathers are used for. They are also being killed by pesticides. If caught killing a peacock, many charges include death according to sources, but not selling its feathers. Catching a peacock is easy as well, since they are flightless birds

If completely killed, the world would lose a brilliantly beautiful bird. These religions that so prize these peacocks would lose an iconic figure.

If a species goes extinct, anything it used to eat (be it plants or animals) now has one less predator and their numbers will increase. If they increase too much unchecked by their predators they may use too many resources and cause their own starvation. Another animal may start eating them, though -- since now they don't have to compete with the old species anymore.

Also, any animal which was a predator to the now-extinct species has lost a food source. They may have to find something else to eat or starve themselves into extinction, too.

In fiction, there are very many amounts of dragons of various description. This question is like asking

"What does a shoeprint look like?" They are very varied and it would depend on the type of dragon/shoe in question. For example, a typical dragon such as a wyvern would have large, lizard-like footprints at assumption, but the amphithere has no feet at all. I'm leaving the below comment because I find it funny. :D

A better answer would be: It all depends on which shoes my mother-in-law is wearing. :-)

It is related to a great white shark.

No, often people did not keep pets for the simple reason they could not keep them alive. They could not feed them often because they coloud not feed themselves. Rich people sometimes had a cat or a dog, but if they pooped in the wrong place or did not do a trick they would abandon them or kill them. Harsh or what!

This animal below have been extinct for more than 100 years. The Moa has been extinct for about 600 years

i dont know i say just kill them all off! hahahahahahahahaha
