Extinct Animals

by Bushtots

Dodos, Mammoths, saber tooth tigers – animals that we only see on television and in natural history museum displays. These and other animals, the most famous of which are the dinosaurs, roamed the earth thousands of years before civilization as we know it today. These mighty beasts certainly made their mark. Okay, not all of them were big and scary, a number were fluffy, others were small and quite cute actually. Big or small, they made their presence felt. More than anything, the fact that they are no longer roaming this earth alerts us to the need for us to pay better attention to the way we treat the earth and all living creatures. This also includes plants and trees – there are probably hundreds, if not thousands of plant species that are being wiped out daily. Never mind the animals that rely on this vegetation. Which plants and animals will not be there by the time your children and/or grandchildren grow up? Whose fault is it? It’s ours – so we need to do something to reverse some of the damage now before its too late.
