The endangered spices of the Bald Eagle since 1800’s, the bald eagle weighs 7 to 10 pounds, has a length of 3 feet from beck to tail, and its wingspan is about 7 feet long. The females tend to be bigger then the males in most cases. They live up to 30 years in the wild and live more then 30 in captivity. The population has been declining, in 1700’s the population was up to three hundred to five hundred and in the twentieth century they’re still declining rapidly. The bald eagle has become an endangered spices because of hunting, pry lost, and thinning of the egg shells. They normally eat fish and due to the water pollution the fish population has decreased, and thinning of the egg shells has them hatch before they’re ready. The Bald Eagle is protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940, and Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, and the lacey Act of 1940.

Wild cats are sliding to extinction thought many decades. Their habitat is being threatened by logging and deforestation forcing them to live it tight spaces of left over forest. Depending on the cat fur or bones the Chinese use them for some medicines. Poaching and hunting are also in effect to the cat’s deaths and no pray. By having no pray for the cats some will eat their own pack or live stock and then the farmers will kill them. The Scientist has estimated the tiger population to be less then 530 tigers today. This population extends from Russia to parts of china and North Korea but the mass population is moslty in Russia.

  1. People in these areas where tigers live need to pay more attention to what they are doing and need to stop killing/poaching these tigers and stop destroying their enviroment.

  3. Extinction is a natural process...many species have become extincted in the past with no interaction with humans (ex: dinosaurs). However,it seems to me that the rate of extinctions across the board (with many animals) is rising...Do you think this is true? Or do you think that we have become a true technological society...in which information is readily available? In other words, has the extiniction of species really increased or are we just more aware of it?
