  1. idk... lol!!! thats a good question!!!
  2. good luck if somebody can answer that Most extinction is because of loss of habitat because of expanding farming ,Human expansion,rivers drying up,bush fires, So in those places where the habitat is gone 100 % of what lived there has gone with it,some species will move to other places ,like birds and the bigger walking animals, But most things are bound by their diet and the environment Many get killed during the changes ,by Farmers And many get killed by poachers for meat or the exotic pet market and exotic medicines or trophy hunters Or Climatic changes which kill off, microbe populations which affect the insect world and they in turn, affect any thing else up the food chains that follow , This is why spraying chemicals to kill mosquitoes can have such disastrous Environmental effects ,just like other forms of contamination with the soil , water and air. 3000 species of frogs have gone world wide many species of microbes the smallest but they have the biggest impact on the environment countless species of insects ,,birds reptiles ,and many nocturnal species of animals some of the wolf and bear species in Europe In Madagascar a whole range of lemurs has gone. Only people who work with specific species have an idea of which are going extinct in their area . nobody knows exactly how many altogether . whole eco systems have ceased to exist and everything that lived in them went with it because their habitat was gone. huge yearly migrations of herds of a kind of deer ,numbering thousands of animals on the tundras,have gone in just 5 years Not only Animals ,birds,insects .microbes ,and reptiles have gone extinct also the flora in those places. In 300 years half of the worlds forests have gone half of the worlds rain forests and wetlands ,in the last 50 years. We are witness to the biggest extinction of Flora and fauna since the dinosaurs. To make a list would be many pages. this question should be about a specific Area check the David Attenborough BBC documentaries ,called planet Earth ,the 3 called Future and saving species to get some idea
