Extinction Of Animals
Extinction is the end of a species, which is also known as the death of the last individual of the species. When we think about extinction, some animals come to our minds such as tiger, panda or blue whale. But they are just several of the animals that are endangered. If an animal is endangered, it means that it is at risk of becoming extinct.
Extinction is a natural part of evolution. But it sometimes happens at a much faster rate than usual. For instance, a mass extinction caused the death of many different types of animal and plant species at the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago.
The numbers are terrifying if we think about the whole history of the earth. Here are some of the most amazing extinct animals.
