Endangered species are found throughout the world. Endangered means that the animal is nearly extinct. Many different reasons are in place for the extinction of these animals, whether it is to use for their fur, the oil they produce or as a food source.
Mass extinctions of land-dwelling animals—including amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds—follow a cycle of about 27 million years, coinciding with previously reported mass extinctions of ocean life, according to a new analysis published in the journal Historical Biology.

Carboniferous of Europe: a swampy palaeoenvironment with tree-like Lepidodendron (lycopsids) forming a dense forest. Also shown is the stem of a giant horsetail – calamites (the one growing at an odd angle). The winged insect climbing a horsetail (equisetum) is a primitive cockroach (Manoblatta sp). The flying insects are the large dragonflies (meganeura). At the top centre of the image is a Homoioptera with a pair of long tails. In the front of its wings, it has a pair of flap-like protonal paranota. Protonal paranota are not found today on winged insects and are probably remnants of the early evolution of insects' wings. Coming out of its burrow is a mesothelae spider. I was told that there is not much information available about these spiders, but they are most likely to have had a segmented body, and may have lived in burrows. There is an amphibian resting beyond the calamite trunk, at the base of a lepidodendron trunk.
