Any plant or animal that depended on the disappearing one for part of its life cycle will move closer to endangerment, until it finds a new ecological niche. If the extinct plant or animal was essential for some part of the life cycle then a second species is likely also go extinct, as not enough individuals are likely to adapt in the space of a few generations.
It is hard to determine exactly how many animal species are extinct because some species become extinct before scientists even know they existed. As far as science can tell, there are over 900 extinct species.
There are an estimated 20,000 species of plants and animals currently at risk of extinction due to human activities. Some of the plants already made extinct by humans are Archaefructus, Dillhoffia, and Sphenophyllum. Some animals extinct because of humans include Quagga, Thylacine, and Steller's Sea Cow.
Then since that species has gone extinct, then there will be a chain reaction. maybe just like with animals, every plant counts on another for existence. so eventually they would all probably all die out.
they are different because extinct is when a species is completely died out and endangered is when a species is reduced and may die out. they alike because they both deal with killing the species.
Snakes are not extinct. Some species may be, but certainly all are not. Check Extinct Snake Species.
After the dinos, there was A million different types of species and animal. then, some were wiped out, some mutated, some survived. what we have now is what is left of an animal world! hope this answers your q, marbles48.
Extinction rates vary and can sometimes be rapid, and some times slow. Extinction rates are affected by biotic, competition between species, hunting etc, and abiotic factors, volcano eruptions, weather etc.
By definition, all wild animals must breed in the wild, otherwise they go extinct.
if an animal was the last of its kind, then it could recreate the entire species and stop it from becoming extinct. this is very handy.
i think their not but some species might becoming extinct.
Some species have become extinct, but others are still numerous.
