What is extinction? When are living animals put on an endangered list? We start with these questions and then survey the fascinating lives and deaths of dozens of animal species around the world. After examining the mass extinctions of prehistoric animals (including the dinosaurs), we find extinct and endangered creatures in all the major biomes -- forests, mountains, grasslands, oceans, and islands, and wetlands. Finally, we consider what humans can do today to save endangered species from extinction.

"This beautifully illustrated book covers a generous selection of the thousands of species that exist around the world. It demonstrates their exciting diversity of appearance and behavior and their amazing adaptations. It also shows their relationships with their habitats-from the rich tropical rain forests to the sparse tundra and polar regions. THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WORLD WILDLIFE is packed with information. The most interesting features of each species are explained in detail-how it evolved, what makes it unique, how it has adapted to its surroundings, and its characteristic behavior. This information is backed up by quick-reference panels that present the key data about each animal-its Latin name, how it is classified by scientists, its habitat and geographical distribution, its average size, and its preferred food. Many of the animals featured in the book are in danger of extinction. When this is the case, the text explains why this is happening and what, if anything, is being done to protect the species. As well as telling you which species are endangered, THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WORLD WILDLIFE also helps the animals themselves. The royalties go direct to the World Wildlife Fund-the organization that, more than any other, is working to promote the cause of conservation and helping to protect endangered species all over the world."--Jacket

Everyone is familiar with the dodo and the wooly mammoth, but how many people have heard of the scimitar cat and the Falkland Island fox? Extinct Animals portrays over 60 remarkable animals that have been lost forever during the relatively recent geological past. Each entry provides a concise discussion of the history of the animal—how and where it lived, and how it became extinct—as well as the scientific discovery and analysis of the creature. In addition, this work examines what led to extinction—from the role of cyclical swings in the Earth's climate to the spread of humans and their activities. Many scientists believe that we are in the middle of a mass extinction right now, caused by the human undermining of the earth's complex systems that support life. Understanding what caused the extinction of animals in the past may help us understand and prevent the extinction of species in the future. Extinct Animals examines the biology and history of some of the most interesting creatures that have ever lived, including: The American Terror Bird, which probably became extinct over 1 million years ago, who were massive predators, some of which were almost 10 feet tall; the Rocky Mountain Locust, last seen in 1902, formed the most immense animal aggregations ever known, with swarms estimated to include over 10 trillion insects; the Giant Ground Sloth, which was as large as an elephant; and the Neandertals, the first Europeans, which co-existed with prehistoric Homo sapiens. Extinct Animals includes illustrations—many created for the work—that help the reader visualize the extinct creature, and each entry concludes with a list of resources for those who wish to do further research.
