Explanation:
Several species are being driven to extinction thanks, in large part, to human interference. Sometimes that interference is direct—poaching for big game trophies or animal tusks, and sometimes, it's indirect, such as when land is developed and disrupts habitats and entire ecosystems.
Here are some of the incredible creatures we've driven to extinction in the last century and a half..
- The Northern White Rhinoceros
Cause of Extinction: poaching has decimated this population and loss of habitat also helped drive the rhino to the brink of extinction.
- The Spix Macaw
Cause of Extinction: the Spix Macaw went extinct in the wild due to habitat destruction, illegal trapping and trade.
- The Thylacine
Cause of Extinction: it is believed that Dingo populations threatened the Thylacine into extinction in addition to over-hunting from humans.
- The Passenger Pigeon
Cause of Extinction: humans hunted the pigeon and consumed it to the point of extinction with the last known bird dying in captivity in the Cincinnati Zoo in 1914.
- The Quagga
Cause of Extinction: humans hunted the quagga to extinction
