Top 10 Most Amazing Extinct Animals

Animal extinction may have been caused by natural occurrences such as climatic heating or cooling or changes in sea levels, scientists also agree that an asteroid striking the earth was to blame for the loss of the dinosaurs.

In more modern times causes of extinction have been dominated by the activities of humans; habitat destruction (due to agricultural land conversion, deforestation or urbanisation), increased human population, pollution, global warming, overhunting/fishing, poaching or the introduction of alien species to an environment.
