At the rate that poaching is transpiring, elephants will be extinct by the year 2020 (Mosbergen). The population of elephants has drastically decreased. Ivory-seeking poachers have killed 100,000 African elephants in just three years, which is roughly 100 elephants everyday. This ecological impact is immense, and if nothing is done to stop poaching, elephants will become extinct before we know it. Poaching is a serious problem, especially in Africa and Asia and it takes place for commercial…

If these creatures are on the endangered species list, they can take the action of trying to preserve and protect them. The reasons for the Tree Octopus on the verge of extinction include: the critically low number for its breeding needs…

again, this is another natural instinct that will be suppressed due to the mistreatment of zoos. If the animals are not able to mate under the circumstances, it is obvious that a certain species within the zoo will eventually die off. Once they die off new animals obtained from the wild will just replace the species. Therefore continuing the ongoing cycle of capturing animals and forcing them to adapt to the new ways of life, which in this case means the chance of not being able to carry out the…

Sabre-tooth Cats were carnivores named for the elongated blade like canine teeth in their upper jaw, which in some species were up to 50cm long. Quite bear-like in build, they were believed to be excellent hunters and hunted animals such as sloths and mammoths. These felines could open their jaws at an angle of 120 degrees – almost twice as wide as a modern lion. It…
