Which animal do you think is next to disapear from the face of the earth forever along with the Yanzee river dolphin which was declaired extinct a few months ago?

And what do you think the reason will be?

Myself, i think that Polar bears because of the way the ice is melting and certain feeding grounds the bears once had are dissapaering =O

Also African elephants because of pouchers hurting them for their ivory o.o

....................bleh, I make too many mistakes~





This is debating. Is there really a way to see which will go extinct first? But at the rate things are going, ocean-living animals are at great risk. Due to lose of habitats, I can't really decide......

I would say that particlure Elephant as well, but unlike the Polar bear their breeding abilities are fair and long. Though the gestation period is a wide range of time compaired to human birth they can easily have twins and the ability for their ivory to be cut without killing them has become a new market sorce. just like the trees, the elephant in question can be a easily renewable sorce, not because of breeding in captivity, but because a Elephants tusk grows it's whole life, and sometimes seen still growing after deth as our hair does. So the ability to traqulize large male elephants without killing them yet still obtain the tusk is actualy a human way to deal with their endagerment and alow pouchers to still get what they desire for years to come. Yes they are endagered but out of your list they are at the very bottom of a possable exstiction in the wild.

However overall the Exstiction of a Polar Bear Genus is high, higher then even the Tiger right now. Due to the inhebility to easily breed in captivity and the fishers in Alaska driving off it's fatty food, along with the slow degeneration of Ice collums.
The wild and Captive Polar bears are at just as great a risk, for every year only three or four babies are born, while with Tigers it's nine, with that Elephant it's seven and with a few of the others it's actualy climbing to 10 and 12.
Due to our own deeds and misfortune of not knowing the proper diet in captivity and in the wild, the Polar bear may not even exsist in 8 or 9 years from now, and at the very latest 13. Ferthermore, that was out of the animals in your list..

The animal that is most at risk right now is the Orange Orangatan.
With a rare veiwing of the final clan known to man kind in the wild and very little fertility of the poorly bred captive Orangatans, they could be gone in 5 to 6 years. And maybe, just maybe, their already gone from the wild because the wild orangatan tribe hasent been seen in almost nine months.
But that is why I chose the polar bear, due to the breeding and abilities of man.

To lighting:
Inless you ment a specific Panguin then you are right about being endagered, but if you ment panguins in general..
There are over 30 different breeds of the panguin, and 26 arn't on the endagered list. Some that are is the Emp Panguin and the Arctic Fish Panguin. And this is due to the glacers decline and no hiding spots from Sharks and Bears. But Panguins like the "Jackass" And the Ledge are still running rampint in tropicle areas, though Panguins are mainly enjoyed due to the fact that they are ice born, only a small amount of species remain in their freeze driven climets. And that of which is open to that thery.

I cant really see how ocean-living animals are at greater risk unless they are being hunted or caught in nets by accident. I understand that many types of turtle are endangered because of the low numbers of young make it to adulthood.

QUOTE (Bluewing @ Oct 5 2007, 09:37 AM)



Ocean and Merin life in general are at a huge risk compaired to other animals but they are at a decline that no one can control.

Some of the explanations is our oil refining always dumps waist, and now it's building into Solfer Based Bleach, and the SBB is causeing saltwater fish to sufficate as their homes decay to the SBB, of which decays due to the same reason our bleach kills germs. SBB Kills Fungus, and all ocean plant material is a huge fungle infermory. With this decline of homes for plancton eating fish because of whiteing out, it's causeing them to be easily spoted by their natural preditors, and in being so easily spotted it's also easier for us to go and grab a saltwater fish out of the wild then breeding them ourselfs, and in this way no one knows how to breed saltwater fish very efficiantly, causing their demise with every little " Nemo" We see at the petstore =/...

Thats just for Saltwater though, Freshwater fish are dieing at a alarming rate due to the global warming. they can't stand heats above 67 F, yet every year the islands of the south get water at 90 and even a boiling 112F. This causes over 40% of the Population grown in spring to die in the fall. So Wild Angelfish,Minnows, Rainbow trouts and other tropical fish are running dry along with our overfishing for Tuna and Green trout as a food sorce thats highly unnessesary.

Again these are just some of the reasons but the ocean life doesint seem to consern humanity as the mammals do.

Thats why the Dolphin you spoke of earlier became exstink in the wild, not because of our finishing alone but because their food sorce is at a huge decline due to global warming, oil refining, polution, boat propellers,fishing,Water elclinity drop and many other dangers.

I myself say that the tiger is gonna' be one of the next ones to go. I wouldn't say that it'd be the very next, but it'll die out before you know it, unfortunately. For they're already endangered, with most breeds dead, anyways. It's just a good enough thing that they're in captivity in local zoos. I say that because the zoos will hopefully try to bring them back from the endangered list.

Seriously, I don't want any of them to become extinct. I don't want to think about it. If I could help it, none of them would even be in danger of extinct.

But I guess that is all dreaming of something that will never happen...

If there where more people around that cared about them and Gore being in the Presidents seat ,animals would have a fighting chance, but all the americans I know just care about hunting their pressious game trophy elk and ednagered eagle. Or they just figure " Does that have to do with me? Cause if not I don't care" It's highly agervating that such a large race as humans are so dumbwitted and act as pessimists that care for nothing but oil and blood to say " HEY I KILLED A JEW"... Even now everyones celebrating the fact that Iraq is a mini america but they don't get that their Explotions and their artillery may very well have made the Red Deas Gecko exstinked.. And so far no ones cared to check.. We even have the black footed ferret on the endagered list just because america is killing Prairy dogs for the fact that "Cowboys" Want all the grass to go to their cows, forgetting that Prairy dogs are tiny rodents that make barly a dent in our cow stock. And the fact that cow meat isint essancial o-o. It's just so Depressing that our own kind is a bunch of monsters... Makes me wish I wasint human..
