	Endangered Species K-12 Experiments for Lesson Plans & Science Fair Projects
		Extinct: the last remaining member of the species had died, or is presumed beyond reasonable doubt to have died.
		It is also worth noting that the number of species becoming extinct each year is many times as large as the number of species classified as endangered; this fact arises from the extensive and slow review process for listing new species as endangered.
		Another argument against listing species is the use of the "shoot, shovel, and shut up"[5] method of clearing endangered species from an area of land.

	Endangered species
		Also, the list has been proven to be somewhat inaccurate as it measures populations of species relative to a certain area, not world-wide.
		As such, certain animals, such as the Brown Bear and the Gray Wolf have had their populations misrepresented (in those cases, though few still live in the contiguous United States, many roam Alaska and Canada).

		In contrast to previous red lists, the new survey analysed the decline of each species instead of simply listing those that occur in a small number of sites.

		They have allegedly opted to silently kill and bury the animals or destroy habitat, thus removing the problem from their land, but at the same time further reducing the population of an endangered species.

	History
		The sheep or cattle the Original Curs controlled were not the meek and mild animals seen on modern farms and ranches, but were the ancestral stock that found their own food and fought for survival from the predators that existed in Europe and Asia three thousand years ago.
		At one time, dogs and other animals were taxed, but the Curs were exempted from taxes due to their working status because even the Normans acknowledged the Cur was needed by the shepherds and farmers for their work to be done efficiently.
		Smaller cattle also allowed the tenants to keep more cattle on the same amount of feed giving their animals the ability to maintain their genetic diversity, giving greater versatility of use since not all the cows would be dry at the same time, and the cattle were more content since they are a herd animal.

		Books on (recently) extinct animals are frequently source material for their history in captivity, thus reflecting the ups and downs of the zoos involved.
		British and North American zoos, unfortunately, rarely offer their European visitors the same courtesy they take for granted when visiting menageries on the Continent, but zoologists should find the Wörterbuch a convenient reference work for looking up the English name of a species of which they have only the scientific term at hand.
		Animals from a second release have fared better so far; but later in the study, we plan to radio-tag predators like jaguars and pumas, along with other large herbivores like tapirs that may compete with the peccaries for food, so we can determine their whereabouts.

	The American Museum of Natural History - BioBulletin When is a Wild Horse Actually a Feral Horse?
		If it finds others of its own species, reproduces, and the offspring also fend for themselves in the wild, the result is a feral population.) Feral horses do live in self-sustaining populations in the wild, though they—or their ancestors—once belonged to domestic populations that were bred, for thousands of years, for ease of handling.
		The horses range in small bands of 5 to 15 animals, consisting of a dominant stallion, his harem of mares, and their offspring.
		When animals escaped from an expedition north from Mexico led by Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in 1543—accounts of the exact date and number of horses vary—they formed the basis of the continent's first feral horse population.

	Endangered Species
		Many factors are taken into account when assessing the conservation status of a species; not simply the number remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, known threats, and so on.
		Extinct: the last remaining member of the species had died, or is presumed to have died beyond reasonable doubt.
		Extinct in the wild: captive individuals survive, but there is no free-living, natural population.

		The main reason for these animals appearing in the wild seems to be due to the introduction of the 1976 dangerous animals act.

	Wild Animals: Wolves in UK
		It is very hard to determine when animals became scarce, as wolves were generally considered vermin and there were decrees to exterminate them.
		I shall list possible extinctions chronologically, using material dating extinctions of wolf populations from different parts of the British isles from the 12th century onwards.
		The Sixth Edition of Walker's Mammals of the World (1999) says that the last wolves in the British Isles were exterminated in the 18th century.

		ISLANDS OF ANIMALS: The Isle of Thanot was composed of a soil fatal to serpents; hence it was named the Isle of Thanotos, the island of death.
		The second isle was "the ilonde of shepe, where every shepe was as grete as an ox and there is never colde either but ever sommer" and was possibly meant for the Fortunate Isles, the abode of the blest, the medieval name for the Madeiras and the Canaries.

	IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Bufo viridis
		Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, tolerance of a broad range of habitats, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.
		This species is distributed in much of Europe (including the southern tip of Sweden, but excluding the rest of Fenno-Skandia, the British Isles, the Iberian Peninsula and almost all of Europe west of the Rhine River) eastwards to Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan (and probably adjacent Afghanistan).
		The species is listed on Appendix II of the Berne Convention and is listed on Annex IV of the EU Natural Habitats Directive.

	Sixth Extinction
		The result: species of animals and plants are vulnerable to extinction for as much as a half a mile into the forest.
		A little more than a decade ago, ninety species of plants became extinct in a virtual instant, when the forested ridge on which they grew was cleared for agricultural land.
		The list of "anecdotal" evidence is long: half the freshwater fish of peninsular Malaysia, ten bird species of Cebu in the Philippines, half the forty-one tree snails in Oahu, forty-four of the sixty-eight shallow-water mussels of the Tennessee River shoals, and so on.

		Having lived side-by-side with agricultural peoples for millennia, Europe's animals and plants have been profoundly affected by the presence and activities of man.

	What is a Farm Collie? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		I think we all agree that a farm collie is descended from the working collie landrace of the British Isles.
		Could think of this as a landrace over the entire British isles, but to my mind more likely a cluster of more local breeding populations of somewhat fixed types due to difficulty of travel and differences in agricultural.
		Whether a survivor of the original North American farm collie landrace, or a member of a modern breed, or a mixture or cross of these, the farm collie/shepherd is descendent of the old working collie of the British Isles and has the physical stamp of that genetic group.
