Animal Extinction


                     Animal extinction means the disappearance of animals from the Earth. We only
                     know of their existence through the discovery of fossils, history, and research.

                           Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex)
                           resembled giant lizards that lived in
                           the age of the dinosaurs. Aside from
                           the T-Rex, almost all of the animals
                           in the age of dinosaurs had
                           become extinct.

                                                   The most rational hypothesis for the extinction of dinosaurs
                                                   on Earth was the impact of comets or meteors that hit the
                                                   Earth. The devastating impact caused the dinosaurs to be
                                                   wiped out.

                                              Dodo bird was a tame bird from the island of Mauritius.
                                              These birds could not fly. These animals went extinct
                                              because sailors who stopped there hunted the birds.
                                              Meanwhile, rats and cats ate the eggs.
