Differentiaate between endangered species and threatened species?

Threatened means that the animal is vulnerable to extinction and the population of the animal is declining. (ex: Certain species of whale population are being threatened.) Endangered means that the animal will soon be extinct if nothing is done about it. Some endangered animals are being bred in captivity until their numbers increase enough to be released back in the wild. (ex: Bald Eagles are an endangered species of bird. Pandas are an endangered species of bear.) Extinct means that the animal has completely died out and there aren't any left of this species. (ex: Dinosaurs are an extinct species of reptile. Dodo is an extinct bird.) Here's a visual: Threatened-------------> Endangered---------------> Extinct

What was the first endangered animal in the world?

doesn't really work like that. Species have appeared and died out as long as there has been Life on Earth. It really doesn't make sense to try and pick a "first to be endangered". You'd need to add something, like "first to be endangered by human actions" perhaps.


Why are corals called stingers?

Some species of coral are actually poisonous. Coral is composed of tiny little animals called polyps, that create the hard, white skeleton we know to be a coral reef. The tissues of the polyps create the unique colors of each species of coral as they live together in groups, but some species carry toxins. When brushed or scraped against, the polyps in the coral skeleton will release their toxins as a method of self defense. This can be quite painful and can cause serious rashes, allergic reactions, infections and scarring. Wounds from poisonous corals must be treated immediately with antibiotics to prevent increased tissue damage.


How many endangered animals are in the US?
