XTINCTION

As you may know extinction has been getting more serious as the years go by, more deadly animals have been coming into the world! Extinction is when living things start to die. Lots of people think it just applies to animals, but it actually applies to all living things – animals, humans – plants etc. Extinction is due to climate change and human action or behaviour (like hunting and so on). Some extinct animals are the mammoth and the dodo bird. Extinction is sadly something we have got to worry about. Every living thing lives in a ‘chain’ so if one thing dies, it affects another. That extinct animal might be food for another animal, and then they are left starving because their food source has become extinct.
