Statistical analysis of the fossil record indicates somewhere around 35% of all species disappeared at the end of the cretaceous. (There is considerable margin for error in that figure--we don't have a good estimate for the number of species that exist today, even).

A species that has entirely died out is considered extinct. An example of extinct species are the dodo, saber-tooth tigers, woolly mammoths, Canary Island giant rats, Cape lion, and the Red Rail.
Alas, they live no more: they're all extinct. Died in the same catastrophe that killed the dinosaurs.
It is difficult to estimate the exact number of species that have become extinct since human evolution began, but it is believed to be in the millions. The rate of extinction has increased significantly in modern times due to human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change.
If all the lions died, it would disrupt the delicate balance of their ecosystem, resulting in an increase in populations of prey species such as antelope and buffalo. This could lead to overgrazing of vegetation and potential habitat destruction, affecting other plant and animal species in the long run.
They both start with E.they both are really are not alike. extinct means that they are no more. endangered means there are still left but rare.
End of the Paleozoic era
butt hole
The Permian Extinction. Basically when many marine invertebrates died off. I am fcking 14 and I know this.
56 percent
approximately 10 percent have died
Apparently the world heated up and many genera died off.
2 percent
There is a larger percent of sheep and cattle that died in the drought of 1982. This was due to lack of water.
It is estimated that 99% of all animals that have ever lived are now extinct.
A species that has died out is called an extinct species. There are many of them. Dinosaurs for instance.
Eight presidents have died in office. Obama is our 44th president. 8/44 = 18 percent.
It means that that species is extinct or (that spafic animal species has completely died
