Answer 1

extinction in modern times or over the history of the earth?  There are hundreds of animals that have gone extinct in modern times, but perhaps you are asking about vertebrates that have gone extinct - birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, and mammals.  A lot.  The only group that has done OK here, are salt water fishes, but some that are unique to areas have also been lost forever.

Answer 2

Quite a few, if you consider the history of the planet I would say thousands of species have gone extinct. You may want to check thw WWF World Wildlife Fund, for numbers and recent figures.

Answer 3

you might want to think in terms of extinction rate; at the moment that is 100 to 1000 times faster than the usual (i.e. between mass extinctions) rate.

it might well become known as the anthropocene extinction.

Answer 4

Too many.If the environment doesn't kill them human selfishness will.
