Extinct Animals and Conservation

Extinct animals include passenger pigeons, dodos, Tasmanian tigers, baiji white dolphins, Pyrenean ibexes, and Steller's sea cows. Extinctions have been a natural part of evolution on Earth, with more than 99% of all species that have lived now extinct. In the last five centuries alone, at least 900 species have gone extinct.

dinosaurs

Earth for more than 150 million years.
They were lizard like reptiles. Some
of them were the largest and scariest
creatures that ever walked on land. The
word dinosaur comes from Greek

relatives of today's elephants.

the last ice age, and they may
have died off when the weather
became warmer and their food

their disappearance due to
hunting.
