Endangered Animals
In the past, most extinctions were due to natural causes. In fact, extinction is a naturally occurring phenomenon that occurs at a rate of roughly one to five species each year; however, scientists currently believe that habitats across the globe are now losing dozens of species each day. Generally, species under threat but at a lower risk of extinction are said to be? threatened,? while those in more immediate jeopardy throughout a significant portion of their range are termed endangered.?
