If snowy owls went extinct, it would disrupt the food chain as they are top predators, affecting the populations of animals they prey on. This could lead to an imbalance in the ecosystem, impacting other species and possibly causing a ripple effect throughout the food web. Additionally, the loss of snowy owls would also result in a decline in biodiversity and the natural beauty of snowy owl habitats.
Simple-by losing an animal forever means at least a small proportion of the Ecosystem is in danger and the Ecosystem has faded a little. Every animal, plant and life-bearing tree, makes a difference. Also, won't mice be more common?
What would happen if all the bird's disapear?
It is hard to even imagine the consequences; however, a review of what happened in China could
be instructive:
In 1958 Mao Zedong declared sparrows an enemy of the state. He had decided that the birds
were the reason for the failure of his agricultural programs and, hence, farmers were given
incentives to kill all they could find.
Amazingly, they succeeded. When tens of millions of peasants go to work, billions of birds can be
killed in a season. And not just sparrows: Photographs in history books show twenty-foot high
stacks of birds of many species-and a lot of happy government officials.
But nature abhors a vacuum.
The photographs from the next year show a genuine plague of locusts. Without their natural
predators, grasshoppers were able to reproduce to the point they blotted out the sky and
blanketed the fields from one end of China to the other. (Estimates are that at least thirty million
people died in the immediate famine and the resulting environmental and societal consequences
are too disturbing even to describe here.)
There will be a famine if all bir's die? No, certainly not.
We live in an advanced technological society with many agricultural companies that can follow
the spirit of DuPont's "better living through chemistry." Of course, few Americans would welcome
the use of more pesticides.
Which could be a problem. One of the consequences of ecological imbalances is great
population growth for some lucky species. Rabbits live a safe life in Chicago parks, regularly
eating their way through hundreds of thousands of dollars of vegetation. The forest preserves in
some areas are overrun by deer whose only predator is a speeding car. And everyone is
certainly familiar with the problems created by the over-population of Canada Geese.
Birds eat bugs.
Thousands every day of insects, worms, lice, beetles, moths, weevils…... the list is almost
endless. Purple Martins eat thousands of mosquitoes every day, for example. Evening
Grosbeaks will eat fifty thousand caterpillars in a summer.
Birds are our chief ally in keeping bugs in check. Most insects have a beneficial role in nature too,
but, without predators, they multiply at such a rapid rate that they will devour grass, leaves and all
other plant life.
The role of birds in the c ycle of l ife is simply irreplaceable.. There is my large statement to what would happen to the world and ecosystem if this occured.
The bug population would increase exponentially which would in turn lead to an increase in human deaths via poisonous bites (due to a higher rate of interaction) and the spread of disease such as malaria.
The population of mice, voles, and other small rodents would increase.
Then the higher predators would have little food and the snake's prey would over populate
Owls, like all water-dependent species, would be hard pressed to survive a drought. They would have to redistribute themselves to search for water.
The Lemming population would explode and we would be without a very pretty owl

What would happen to the area if deer went extinct?
If the deer became extinct then ,all the greenery would overgrow , and all the animals that eat the deer would die as well because the deer was there main food source.
What would happen if the gorilla went extinct?
If gorillas went extinct, it would disrupt their ecosystems as they are important seed dispersers and help maintain biodiversity. It would also impact local communities that rely on tourism revenue generated by gorilla conservation efforts. Additionally, the loss of gorillas would represent a significant cultural and emotional loss as they are iconic and admired animals.
What would happen to the environment if wolverines went extinct?
If wolverines went extinct, it could disrupt the ecosystem as they play a role in controlling other species populations, such as rodents and scavengers. Additionally, wolverines help with nutrient cycling through their scavenging habits, and their absence could impact the overall biodiversity of their habitat.
What would happen if praire dogs went extinct?
If prairie dogs went extinct, it would disrupt the ecosystem they inhabit as they play a crucial role in maintaining grassland ecosystems. Other species that rely on prairie dogs for food or shelter, such as hawks, foxes, and badgers, would be affected, leading to a cascade effect in the ecosystem. Additionally, prairie dogs help aerate the soil and create habitats for other species by digging burrows.
What species of lemurs went extinct?
one major species was the extinct lemur. they've been extinct for minutes.
What would happen if phytoplankton or mosquitos went extinct?
If they went extinct the whole food chain would be out of balance.
What would happen if bobcats went extinct?
other animals that relied on it would die and come extinct
What would happen if the basking shark went extinct?
they would ALL be dead!
What would happen if oysters went extinct?
It would effect the food chain and other marine life would become extinct
What would happen if the alligator snapping turtle went extinct?
what will happen if allegator snapping turtules
If all diatoms went extinct what would happen to the earths atmosphere?
we would die
What would happen if the wildcat were extinct?
If all wild cats went extinct, then the prey it ate probably would rise rapidly in its population.
What would happen if whales went extinct?
yes it whould mean to meny fish and shaks
What would happen if the green sea turtle went extinct?
the jellyfish it eats will get over populated
What would happen if komondo dragons went extinct?
We would miss them so much
What would happen if all protests went extinct?
An animal becomes extinct, but protests do not. The ability to protest is part of the Bill of Rights and is listed as freedom of speech.
What would happen if bull trout went extinct?
the fish that eat bull trout would become extinct and the fish the bull trout eat would become over populated then the fish that become overpopulated will eat all the fish
