Question

name two animal species extinct in past years​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Sumatran Rhino

2.Chinese paddlefish

Answer 2

Answer:

Sumatran Rhino.

Chinese paddlefish.

Explanation:

The last Sumatran rhino in Malaysia passed away in November, 2019, making the extremely rare species locally extinct. The rhino was named Iman and she died due to cancer.

The death of Iman made the species critically endangered, with less than 80 Sumatran rhinos left all over the world, primarily in Indonesia. Currently, Sumatran rhinos are the smallest rhino species in the world.

Chinese paddlefish is one of the largest freshwater fishes in the world and it was most commonly found in the Yangtze River in Asia. Several surveys failed to locate the species' presence and so, it was declared extinct in December, 2019.

The species is speculated to be extinct due to overfishing and habitat fragmentation. The species became endangered between 2005 to 2010 and then eventually died out in 2019
