  1. That is what happens, for sure. But most endangered species have problems with fertility, ability to  carry offspring to term, or excessive predation.

    But yes, the males and females have to do the job, if they can.


  2. Alas, not much. Inbreeding can occasionally be good when it brings out desirable characteristics. An example is the Darwin-Wedgwood line, where everyone seemed to marry a first cousin. That gave the world natural selection and fine pottery. More often, you get families like the Jukes, Kallikaks, and the Jackson Whites, where deleterious recessive characters get expressed in a large percentage of the population. With an endangered species, you may not have much choice but that doesn't mean that inbreeding is good.

  3. Unfortunately, there is usually a reason why animals are endangered, not only huning etc, but because of fertility and because many only give birth to one offspring, e.g.  a panda, doesn't eat the right diet really, so it can't hibernate properly, has 2 offspring, but one is left to die, can't feed offspring properly because of diet,the survivng offspring usually die, therefore the panda is one of nature's loosers, it's own downfall, really I think although we love these creature, we should let nature take it's course, if a creature like a panda can hardly survive on it's own, maybe if they do go extinct a more hardy animal will take it's place, leading to another species, that will not be one of natures loosers.

  4. Doesn't it take a long time though? Mating season, fight, etc., etc.
