1, Bali Lake:1extinct in 937.
Balihu is the smallest modern tiger species in the world. Its body shape is similar to that of the larger leopard, but its temperament is more fierce, mainly in the tropical jungle of Malaysia. Smaller size is mainly related to hot temperatures and less food, which is a successful evolutionary strategy.
Compared with similar species in Asia, several tiger species in South Asia are relatively small, such as Sumatra tiger. Tigers in Asia are bigger, among which the Northeast Tiger and Bengal Tiger are the most, and their size is one third larger than that of Balihu Tiger.
After the First World War, due to the rapid development of economy and the sharp increase of population, human demand for trees and land increased, and a large number of tropical rainforests were developed into forest farms or rubber plantations. Bali Lake lost its habitat and became extinct in 1937.
2. Atlas brown bear: 1870 extinct.
Atlas brown bear is a huge brown bear, the only one living in Africa, and one of the three famous animals in North Africa. It lives in North Africa near Europe with Barbary lions and Atlas leopards.
There is a famous saying in Mexico today that Mexico is too far from heaven and too close to the United States. For North Africa, they are very similar, but they are too close to Europe. During the colonial period, European colonists arrived in North Africa along the land and the narrow Spanish Gulf. North Africa became the earliest colony and the most seriously damaged area.
Local people are like this, even animals are not spared. The famous Babalj lion has become a frequent visitor to European zoos and circuses, while the Atlas brown bear has become the target of hunters. In just a few decades, this rare brown bear became extinct in early 1870.
3. White-footed Australian woodrat: 1902 extinct.
Australia is a continent surrounded by the sea, which can be said to be an island. Animals and plants on other continents have undergone great changes. Only Australia has preserved many primitive creatures, which have completely different biological structures from other continents. It can be called an alternative continent on the earth, with wonderful senses similar to the alien world.
However, with the rapid development of human society, the ocean is no longer an obstacle. Especially after the industrial revolution, in the era of great navigation, European adventurers explored deep seas all over the world and made comprehensive marks on unknown continents. Then a terrible colonial era began.
In mainland Australia, the disaster is more serious. The aborigines were ravaged and European colonists occupied Australia. At the same time, local animals are not adequately protected. In addition to destroying their habitats, the colonists also brought a large number of exotic creatures, such as rabbits, hounds, foxes, etc., which multiplied in large numbers and made many local small animals extinct, among which the white-footed Australian woodrat was one of them.
4. Naomi Teng: extinct in 190 1 year.
The fate of Ogilvy woodchucks is exactly the same as that of the white-footed Australian woodchucks introduced before. They share a common lifestyle. In the case of tens of billions of rabbits flooding, the habitats of these local small animals are completely occupied, and their competitiveness is obviously insufficient compared with rabbits that have experienced cruel survival tests.
5. Australian Bunny: 1890 extinction.
One or two hundred years ago, the native animals in the Australian continent suffered the largest extinction, and overfishing and alien species invasion were the reasons for their extinction.
