Mammal extinction crisis

 Michelle Almazan 


          Probably the most characteristic element of the current extinction crisis is that most of our primate relatives are in serious danger. Almost 90% of the primate population lives in the tropical forest, which are disappearing fast due to animal agriculture, deforestation and development. About half of all the primate species on Earth are at the brink of extinction. 50 percent of all known mammals see rapidly decreasing populations, and almost 20 percent are close to extinction. Marine mammals, including dolphins, whales, and porpoises are particularly close to becoming extinct. If you're interested in other animals going extinct and why go to the website and you'll find more interesting facts about them.

Fun fact, the last Tecopa Pupfish was seen in 1970. The Tecopa Pupfish is about 1.5 to 3 inches in an adult size, it became extinct because of the drying out of water, climate change and the introduction of fish to its natural habitat. This fish would hide from its predators by digging into the mud or soil and they would also do that to keep warm from the hot and cold temperature.
