Endangered animals (Lynx)

Lynx is a genus of carnivorous mammals of the Felidae family commonly known as lynx.

All species live exclusively in the Northern Hemisphere, in Eurasia and North America (of which appear to originate). The so-called African lynx, living in Africa and much of Central and Western Asia, is actually a feline related sparsely keeping some similarities.

The coat has different colors depending on the species and subspecies that question. Canadian and Eurasian lynx range from brown and beige, developing a longer and grayish in winter coat.

It is not entirely clear phylogenetic status of the four species of being one of the most accepted hypothesis that postulates that the ancestor of the four species would be called Lynx Issiodorensis fossil species first discovered in China

Endangered animals ( Mammoth)

Mammuthus is an extinct genus of mammals, commonly known as mammoths. They existed from about 4.8 million years ago until just 3,700 years ago. Many species have been described, being the most known of all woolly mammoth. They have found mammoth fossils in North America, Eurasia and Africa.

Mammoths were large proboscídeos the same dimensions and in some than modern elephants cases. The largest known species are M.

Mammoths are mainly characterized by their bulging head, proboscis muscular and long curved tusks. The northern species were covered with hair to withstand the cold glaciers of its ecosystem. The tusk mammoth largest on record is a woolly mammoth, whose length reached 5 meters

Most mammoths died out at the end of the last ice age. Still it has not found a definitive explanation for their extinction.

Endangered animals ( Dodo)

Hello I am Pablo, and I talk about endangered animals. I will make three entries, the dodo, the mammoth and lynx.

The dodo is an extinct species of bird columbiformede the raphinae subfamily. It was an endemic flightless bird Mauritius, located in the Indian Ocean. The dodo and other birds of the Indian Ocean, was related to pigeons had stopped flying to become land.

The extinction of the dodo in the late seventeenth century.

By his early extinction, it is difficult to have a precise description of the dodo. Which there are based on the one hand descriptions and old drawings, and on the other hand in the skeletons and remains, one of which is preserved today in its natural position possible.

Its peak was very long (23 cm) and a hook-shaped tip that probably allowed to break the bark of coconuts. His legs were yellow and robust, with a few ruffled feathers on its back. She had very small wings, which together with its great weight and insufficient breastbone to stand made him unable to fly.

The Portuguese discoverers called "dodo" the bird for his clumsiness and the ease with which could be hunted (the dodo evolved without any contact with humans, so did not see them as a threat).
