Question

Could i hyave some help please

Answer 1

I imagine most endangered / extinct animals in one sense or another. Ecological change promotes competition for survival.  You didn't say humans had to be the hunters.

Answer 2

  the buffalo or bison of north america. deer or vinison as the  meat is called, or as someones trophy.     salmon is another that has been  endangered by overfishing and man made dams.                                                                                                    

Answer 3

Most endangered animals are endangered because of habitat loss. Passenger pigeons were an exception.

Answer 4

I believe there was a species of seabird that was made extinct by the inhabitants of Easter Island a few hundred years ago. I understand it was because they were a very easy target and were not hunted for sustainability.

Answer 5

Harpertara is correct. Man has destroyed animal populations throughout the ages for selfish reasons being money not food, Bison for fur, elephants and walrus for tusks, dodo bird for fun i guess. These reasons are why wildlife departments all over America limit the numbers that hunters can take every year, and monitor wildlife populations to keep them in balance.

Answer 6

Most endangered animals were brought to near extinction due to hunting for things other than food, such as only certain parts of their body, or because humans encroached on their eating areas and they had to move if possible or die off due to lack of food.

Elephants and Rhinos are both hunted for only parts of their body

Pandas are endangered because there is not enough territory left for their appetites to be satisfied

Wolves are hunted because they are thought to endanger sheep and cattle

Eagles, Condors and other birds were affected by the pesticides they ingested that caused their eggs to be super fragile and to break too easily

There are many other examples, try checking some of the international conservation sites for more.
