What does Extinct Mean?
There used to be a time in the United States when passenger pigeons flew in such huge flocks they would fill the sky. But at the turn of the 20th century they disappeared from the wild due to hunting, and eventually, the last pigeon living in a zoo died. When a life form can no longer pass down its own species, that species is said to be extinct.
Animals that have become Extinct...Dodo, Bluebuck, Falkwood Islands Wolf, Carribean Monk Seal,
What does Endangered Mean?
An endangered species is an animal that is in danger of becoming extinct. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) reports that out of 63,000 species of animals and plants surveyed, more than 19,000 could become extinct!
That's means one out of five mammals and one out of three amphibians are on the brink of extinction.
