    Of all the species that have existed on Earth 99 percent have gone extinct and even fewer make it into the fossil record and a very small fraction of those that fossilize are actually found even partially complete. Even if all of them did fossilize many would be too hard dig for many of them. And also it is highly unlikely that most would be found complete‚ due to the number of natural disasters and processes that have happened from the animal’s death to whenever it is discovered. Natural disasters

However‚ when changes occur at a fast pace‚ there is little or no time for an individual species to react and adjust to the new circumstances. This cause disastrous results‚ and for this reason‚ rapid habitat loss is the primary cause of species becoming endangered. Nearly every region of earth has been affected by human activity
