Getting To Know The Wildlife Animals That Are In Danger

By Alison Wilcox


The environmental changes that people have felt in the past as well as what they might have noticed these days can serve as a warning for everyone. An added issue that also needs the attention of all the residents of this planet is the dying out of Washington wildlife animals. There is no one else to blame, but the people who continue to destroy their shelter.

The extinction of these animal species can be the result of some actions. Hunting is the most common reason why they have become extinct. Sometimes, these animals are also deprived of their own homes because human beings may have invaded them. The effects are still unpleasant no matter how different the reasons are.

It would be better if you will know the ones that have been confirmed to be endangered nowadays. The first animal is called the Tasmanian Tiger or the thylacine. According to experts, these tigers were known to be the largest animal that is marsupial and carnivorous. A lot of them were hunted down resulting to their extinction.

Farm owners claimed that they are harmful to their animals before. A neglected thylacine used to live in a zoo many years ago. However, it died because it was not taken care of. Sightings of some thylacines were claimed by some people, but the evidence of such claims were not supported by any evidence.

An animal that is called a quagga is the next one that you will learn about. They are known to be a relative of the zebras. However, their stripes are not similar. The location and the colors if their stripes are different. The stripes of quaggas are brown instead of white and they are often situated on their front part of their bodies as well as their necks and heads.

According to records, the last Quagga that was captured died in 1883 at a zoo in Amsterdam. It was only a few years after the death of the quagga that people realized that they were extinct. Quaggas were hunted the most in South Africa for leather and meat by farmers. Meanwhile, another tragic story about an extinct bird will also be discussed.

Two hundred years ago, passenger pigeons were very common. It was believed to have been mostly seen in North America. However, they turned extinct because they were hunted for their meat. Peasants and other poor individuals would rely on the meat from the pigeon since they cannot buy the expensive type.

The golden toad has been extinct for a long time. The first one was first seen in 1966 by Jay Savage who was a herpetologist. The origin of this toad is the cloudy and tropical forests in Costa Rica. The condition of the weather in the area changed remarkably and this became the reason their shelter was destroyed.

Since the year 1989, there was no trace of golden toads that existed although experts launched search teams. Besides the Washington wildlife animals that were stated in the list, more ones are in danger until now. The best thing that you can do is simple. Do not destroy their habitats and take care of the environment.
