A species of animal becomes extinct when every animal of its kind has died. Why animals become extinct is not always clear. Many scientists believe that a balance exists in nature, so that the establishment of a new species results in the loss or extinction of an existing species.
Most extinct animals died out because of changes in their food source, or the destruction of their habitat. Human beings have caused many animals to become extinct. Such activities as farming, hunting, and logging, or mere settlement by humans, contribute to extinctions.
Today, the growth of urban areas and the pollution of the environment with pesticides and industrial wastes pose serious threats to many species.
During the last 200 years, more than 50 species of birds, over 75 species of mammals, and perhaps hundreds of other species have become extinct.
