Extinct Animals, Human Error or Climate Change?

LONDON - Until recently a large number of animal species can no longer be found on earth. The animals that live together, we were already extinct. Who is responsible for the extinction of that?

According to the researchers, the case of extinction of large mammals that lived 10,000 years ago as hairy rhinoceros, mammot hairy, wild horses, deer, karibou, bison and musk ox (a type of cow that nearly extinct) is due to climate change and human behavior.

Based on a study led by Eske Willerslev of the Center for GeoGenetics in Copennhagen University, fluctuating climate prevalent, ranging from climate like today until the climate like in the ice age. When the climate changed, the animals migrate to other locations, seeking a warmer place to grow. When the climate changed, the animals migrate to warmer locations to survive. Similarly, as reported by IB Times, Thursday (11.03.11).

During the ice age population of the six animals are experiencing fluctuations. After the ice age passed, the weather began to return to its original state. Even so, the explosion of human population, habitat space so it has narrowed. Until finally three species of animals-rhino furry, feathered mammot, and wild horses to extinction. Meanwhile, three other species were lucky enough to survive.

During the ice age, the population fluctuated from 6 animals. From the ice age, climate back to what it was before the glacial period, and the animal again looking for a place to survive.

With these findings, Eline Lorenzen, of the University of Copenhagen and the study's first author, said that experts will now be difficult to estimate how the mammalian response to global climate change in the future.

Meanwhile, Beth Shapiro, Shaffer Associate Professor of Biology at Penn State University, noted that the research they do are likely to still be able to help predict what will happen to the animals that are threatened climate change and habitat.

Currently the same invention can be observed through the endangered animals that we have, always climate change and human activities, which are rare species of animals can be threatened with extinction.

According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, animals in the Alps, the mountains of Queensland in Australia, and forest in Costa Rica has a chance to meet his death

With climate change affecting water temperatures around the world, Canada's polar bears rely on sea ice that melts and pussy brush that food intake is reduced because of warming water, is now threatened with extinction.

Climate change also exposes China's giant panda and the orangutan of Indonesia in the same situation.
