1. Im not sure . I just looked at a website about that, and it said around 7-10 . But I think there would be more etinct animals now . =// But I do know that dinosaurs are extinct ! ;D If that helps you . ahaha
2. Lots and lots and lots and lots!!! Too many to mention. I expect nobody really knows, but there are hundreds if not thousands. The number only grows.
