  • Have we done extinction?

    Should we let animals go extinct? Is it all part of evolution?

    Do you have anyone in particular in mind?

      It depends on the animal and the situation.

      For example, if one particular animal isn't as adapted for a certain environment - i.e. replaced by a superior herbivore/carnivore then, sadly, that's nature. Everything has an end.

      Also, it is believed that over one hundred species become extinct every single day. Just thought I'd throw that in.

        What about cloning of extinct animals? (Bit like Jurassic Park)
        Wasn't there a case recently of a Gazelle being cloned after the species was extinct?
        The animal only lived for 10mins.

        Like Chris said animals become extinct every day. Unfortunately

          Glad some of those dinosaurs did ......don't fancy coming face to face with a T.Rex when I'm out with the dog. On the other hand I'd quite like to see a Dodo......

              When the likes of polar bears, tigers, and pandas become extinct, the world will be a less beautiful place.

              What makes it more ugly is that human beings have caused the accelerated extinction, by becoming so good at survival and adaptation.

                How would a Dodo do this? I have to use fire dogs.

                        We have to save everything now, dont we!? even humans want to live forever.
                        natural selection, evolution, its all grinding to a halt, bring on cloning and GM!

                          Everythings linked to humans. We destroy animals habitats and they go extinct. We try and save animals usually the ones with 'cow eyes' or fluffy bunny types. We would welcome a lot of things going extinct like Miximatosis, diptheria, HIV, Hepatitus and a miriad of other 'not so nice' viruses.

                          I wonder what Mr Darwins reply would be?

                            Probably something along the lines of:

                            1. Variation: There is Variation in Every Population.
                            2. Competition: Organisms Compete for limited resources.
                            3. Offspring: Organisms produce more Offspring than can survive.
                            4. Genetics: Organisms pass Genetic traits on to their offspring.
                            5. Natural Selection: Those organisms with the Most Beneficial Traits
                            are more likely to Survive and Reproduce.
