Hey~ another attention~

Today, I will talk about Extinct and Mass Extinct.
Before I talk about that part, we need to know some word description and example.
I will you explain now. 




This is the description of some 5 words.
classification
Description
Extinct
A species of animal or plant that is extinct no longer has any living members, either in the world or in a particular place. 
Endangered
To endanger something or someone means to put them in a situation where they might be harmed or destroyed completely.
Extirpated
Any species that no longer exists in one part of Canada but can be found in others.
Threatened
Any species that is likely to become endangered if factors that make it vulnerable are not reversed.
Vulnerable
Any species that is at risk because of low or declining numbers at the fringe of its range or in some restricted area.
