Shin Mefilas Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Today I found out that there are only 5 Northern White Rhinos left in the world, while efferts are being made to save the species none of the proposed methods I have read about (with the exeception of takeing DNA for possible cloneing in the future) will save these beautiful animals from extinction in the near future. I dont blame the poachers how hunt them, many of these people live in very poor countries and are just trying to support their families as anyone would, I do however blame the greedy people who create a market for animal parts. Now dont get me wrong I understand that animals go extinct, its a fact of life. But its a shame that some of these extinctions are happening because one species was so smart yet so stupid. Here are some of the wonderful animals we have helped become extinct. The Western Black Rhinoceros - Declared Extinct in 2011 The Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) - Declared Extinct in 1982 The Quagga - Declared Extinct in 1983 The Bali Tiger - Declared Extinct in 1937 The Barbary Lion - Extinct in the wild since the 1950s The Passenger Pigeon - Declared Extinct in 1914 The Laughing Owl - Declared Extinct in 1914 The Great Auk - Declared Extinct in 1852 The Cape Lion - Declared Extinct in 1858 The Caspian Tiger - Declared Extinct in 2003 The Japanese Sea Lion - Declared Extinct in 1970 Steller's Sea Cow - Declared Extinct in 1768 The Formosan Clouded Leopard - Declared Extinct in 2013 The Baiji - Critically Endangered, Possibly Extinct (Last known livining specimen died in 2002) The Bubal Hartebeest - Declared Extinct in 1925 The Caribbean Monk Seal - Declared Extinct in 1952 The Carolina Parakeet - Declared Extinct in 1918 The Cebu Warty Pig - Extinct in the wild since 2000 Quote

H222G981 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 It is a sad thing that some of these animals were slowly wiped off the face of the Earth. Quote
