What is a Jaguarundi and why is it endangered?
139497
The jaguarundi occur from southern US to South America,  right here in Argentina. _Herpailurus yaguarondi_ are the size of a wild cat or slightly bigger, but they look very "elongated", that is, their trunk and tails are relatively long, and their legs look short. In fact, their body shape and movements resemble those of a large weasel or ferret, and their scientific name translates as "reptile-like cat". In contrast with other small felids, their coats are not spotted but rather uniformly brownish-ochre or gray (both color varieties are normal), the hair is short. \nJaguarundis are not especially endangered, but people kill them because they prey on farm animals, and their natural habitat is being modified or destroyed (however, they inhabit a variety of habitats, see link).

Most sea turtles, including large species hunted for food (adults and eggs), and the carey turtle, captured and often killed for its horny plates.\nAlso many terrestrial tortoises, because they're caught in the wild and sold as pets (which mostly die without ever breeding). Include the giant Galapagos and Aldabra tortoises.\nFreshwater turtles are doing better; however, there are some endangered species too.

Lots of animals are endangered, unfortunately.\n\nMy favorite wild animal, the clouded leopard, is endangered. They live in southeast asia, and in SOME parts of their natural habitat they're thought to be extinct in the wild. \n\nAnother problem facing the clouded leopard population is that they are a challenge to breed in captivity. But there are people working to help the population grow, which is good news.

Here is a brief overview of the Pampas and some of the reasons why the area is endangered, in addition to immigration and the expansion of communities/suburbia into these areas:  http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/pampas.htm\n\nGood luck!

Probably about 800 pounds per square inch, but it is interesting to note the the jaguar does in fact close its jaws with more pounds per square inch than any other feline including tigers and lions. A jaguar uses this power to break open turtle shells which is one among many things it eats.

The Caspian or Persian tiger (Panthera tigris virgata) was a subspecies that ranged throughout Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, the former Soviet Union and Turkey.  It became extinct in the late 1960s, last seen in 1968.\n\nThe last Caspian tiger in Iran (the former Persia) was shot in 1958.\n\nSo yes, there was once such a thing as a Persian tiger, but they are now extinct.\n\nTwo other subspecies of tigers (the Balinese and Javan tiger) have also gone extinct, the Balinese in 1937 and the Javan in 1979.\n\nThe remaining six subspecies are all listed as Critically Endangered, and the entire species could easily be extinct within fifty years.

The Do-Do is a well known extinction, they died out because the people ate them all. Predators got to their eggs and there wasn't any kind of conservation going on then.

Well, this is an endangered species and as such it appears in the UICN Red Book. \nIt's a rare mammal. Only about 210 individuals were known in 2001, and it may be already extinct in Bangladesh.\n\nAlso, it's not really a hare but a rabbit. All true hares belong to genus Lepus, and this species is called Caprolagus hispidus.

Both have spots! The jaguar is a stockier, more muscular animal with a bigger head.  Its spots are bigger, the rossettes being more 'open'than the leopards. Leopards tend to have more and smaller spots with less open rossettes. generally jaguars have a more 'orangey' colour than the yellow leopard, but their is a lot of overlap.  Leopards are found in Africa and Asia whereas Jaguars are found in South America. Check out the photo on this link!http://www.lioncrusher.com/animal.asp?animal=57

Is called The Chupacabras which means the goats sucker.  It is a legendary modern character still very alive. Many goats cows and chicken ha been found bloodless in Puerto Rico and other countries and many people; adults and young, have claimed seeing a strange creature with extraterrestrial and anthropomorphic features, more like prehistoric monsters, being around the places where animals had been found dead. Serious researchers and many police departments has checked out the stories . Terrified people and whole towns had been objects of the Chupacabra terror. It is worse than Bin Laden and Sadam toghether. I believe it is a flying almost extinct pre historic specie that hides in caves and dark places underground and comes out peridically as climatological changes take place. It is not exclusive of Puerto Rico. some people claim it is an allien. Others a demon and others a creation of imaginative people, but how can all those animals including very beloved pet dogs are found dead with very specific orifices and no blood in the open fields and sometimes as a massacre to the awe of owners and mentaly stable people and scintific profesionals in charge of agricultural programs and universities.

We have no statistics to back that up.  I doubt that anyone went into the jungle to count any other species dying from the disease.  The really scary part is that it comes in waves, and dies out on its own.

http://bboard.scifi.com/bboard/browse.php/3/7/619/1?\nNote the site is SCIFI.com. Take it for what its worth.\n\nThe animal you are referring to is not actually a deer. It is a semi-aquatic antelope, cetaformia anthalopus. Although sightings are rare, they are not unprecedented. This shy and beautiful animal inhabits the rapidly disappearing rain forests of Cambodia and has only once been collected. A partially devoured carcass was obtained from a Khymer Rouge commander by zoologist and former member of Students For A Democratic Society, Dr. J. Walden Pond (yes, his real name)in 1975. The preserved remains can be seen at the Berkeley Museum of Natural History by appointment with the Director of Special Collections, Dr. Stephanie Alderton. You can contact her at salderton@ucberkeley.edu.

Extinct species, if not extinct by human activity (shooting them, cutting their forests down, etc.), have extinct for a reason - they did not fit well to the enviournment.\nRecreation of such species may destabilize the delicate balance of nature.\nMoreover, any human interferance with nature, whether trying to do good or bad, can only harm it.\n\nThere are two (1.5) reasons. I think you can start with these, and probably the rest will come to mind after writing this. If not, I believe that other people will have further ideas.\n\nGood luck!
