		Many of prehistoric extinct species have evolved into new species; for example the extinct Hyracotherium (an ancient horse-like animal) was the ancestor of several extant species including the horse, the zebra and the donkey.
		A species may become functionally extinct when only a handful of individuals survive, which are unable to reproduce due to health, age, lack of both sexes (in species that reproduce sexually), or other reasons.
		Species listed under this status by the WCU are not known to have any living specimens in the wild, and are maintained only in zoos or other artificial environments.

		A species may become functionally extinct when only a handful of individuals survive, which are unable to reproduce due to poor health, age, sparse distribution over a large range, a lack of individuals of both sexes (in sexually reproducing species), or other reasons.
		Species listed under this status by the World Conservation Union (WCU) are not known to have any living specimens in the wild, and are maintained only in zoos or other artificial environments.
		Humans have been transporting animals and plants from one part of the world to another for thousands of years, sometimes deliberately (e.g., livestock released by sailors onto islands as a source of food) and sometimes accidentally (e.g., rats escaping from boats).

	AMERICAN MONSTERS
		This is a cache of creatures which are known to science, but at one time or another were believed to have joined the ever growing list of extinct animals.
		The significance of these creatures lies not only in the fact that they have managed to somehow survive, but more intriguingly that they were able to do it while remaining hidden from the world of man (with the exception of a few keen-eyed natives) for hundreds if not thousands of years.
		This suggests that there may be other animals destined to be removed from this tragically rising catalogue or - more intriguingly perhaps - that there may be a new species or phylum of creatures, lurking in the darkness of some uncharted rainforest, which is unlike any which we have ever encountered.

	2006 IUCN Red List – Organization of Information
		For Extinct species (and infra-specific taxa), extra documentation is required indicating the effective date of extinction, the causes of the extinction and the details of surveys which have been conducted to search for the species.
		Taxa removed from the Red List for taxonomic reasons (i.e., they are considered synonyms of other taxa) are searchable (searches will indicate the synonyms found under their accepted/correct names); and the synonym/s are listed on the Detailed Results page for the accepted taxon.
		Most plant taxa on the Red List have had their distributions recorded down to BRU level where appropriate, but unfortunately sub-country information is still lacking for most of the animal species.

	One third of farm animal breeds face extinction
		Domestic farm animals are crucial for food and agriculture, providing 30 to 40 percent of the agricultural sector's global economic value.
		Already, 740 breeds are recorded as extinct, and 1 335, or 32 percent, are classified at high risk of loss and under threat of extinction.
		The greatest threat to domestic animal diversity is the export of animals from developed to developing countries, which often leads to crossbreeding or even replacement of local breeds.

		For example, it is sometimes claimed that the extinct Hyracotherium, which was an ancient animal similar to the horse, is pseudoextinct, rather than extinct, because there are several extant species of equus, including zebra and donkeys.
		Extinction of a species may come suddenly when an otherwise healthy species is wiped out completely, as when toxic pollution renders its entire habitat unlivable; or may occur gradually over thousands or millions of years, such as when a species gradually loses out competition for food to better adapted competitors.
		She further argues that since species go extinct "all the time" the disappearance of a few more will not destroy the ecosystem: "We're not left with a wasteland every time a species vanishes.

		EXTINCT IN THE WILD (EW) A taxon is Extinct in the wild when it is known only to survive in cultivation, in captivity or as a naturalised population (or populations) well outside the past range.
		A taxon is presumed extinct in the wild when exhaustive surveys in known and/or expected habitat, at appropriate times (diurnal, seasonal, annual), throughout its historic range have failed to record an individual.
		Listing of taxa in this category indicates that more information is required and acknowledges the possibility that future research will show thatthreatened classification is appropriate.

	Cnidaria
		The mouth is surrounded by tentacles studded with microscopic stinging capsules known as nematocysts that are the agents of offense and defense.
		Cnidarians are diploblastic -- that is, the body and tentacles consist of two cell layers, the endoderm (sometimes referred to as the gastrodermis) and the ectoderm (the epidermis).
		Hydra, which is used in many textbooks to illustrate the phylum, is utterly atypical: a hydrozoan, it lacks a medusa, it has aggregations of gametogenic tissue that function as gonads, and it is among only a handful of freshwater cnidarian species.

	Have any animals become extinct since humans evolved? - BlurtIt
		In fact the number of animals becoming extinct due to natural causes is significantly less as compared to those that have become extinct due to human activities.
		Some of the famous extinct animals and birds are the aurochs of Europe, the quagga and the Atlas bear of Africa, the Cape lion, the dodo of Mauritius, the Javan tiger and the great auk.
		The number of extinct animals is going up steadily and today many animals that are endangered would become extinct shortly if efforts are not taken to keep up their existing numbers; many international governments and other organizations have started various projects like animal charity for the conservation of wildlife.
