Jurassic Park‚ a cult favorite‚ seems to be a scary work of fiction. What most do not realize is that there are efforts taking place right now to make the processes of reversing extinction a reality. This process‚ coined as ‘De-Extinction‚’ is defined as using intact tissues of extinct animals to clone them and introduce them back into existing ecosystems. These efforts are taking place all over the world: the United States of America‚ Australia‚ Poland‚ and Russia. (Zimmer‚ 2013) This process includes

This species sometimes displays pack-hunting behavior‚ which might have been the key to hunting large species in the past‚ despite its small size.[15] Today most prey are small to medium sized vertebrates.

Human activities do the most damage to animal habitats. Human activities include Illegal hunting‚ pollution from factories‚ and moving in of an invasive species which could mess up the whole ecosystem. Another example of human activities was back in the early 1800s‚ there were about 2 billion Passenger Pigeons

common to most Lepidoptera (Khoa 2012). However‚ here is a lack of information on the life history specific to the Green Sphinx. The Green Sphinx is considered endangered (Heddle 2004). This labeling depends on how high the risk of global extinction is for the specific species (IUCN 2012). While a threatened species and an endangered species are both in danger of extinction‚ with the threatened species being in a less dangerous situation‚ the difference of categorization depends on population size

Many people think that zoos are preserving endangered species or subspecies‚ but in fact they are wrong. 95% of animals that are kept in zoos aren’t endangered. 97% of these animals aren’t part of the European Captive Breeding Programs‚ and less than 1% of endangered animals have been introduced back into the wild. It is no surprise that elephants don’t do well in zoos at all. The average
