This website looks at extinct animals. Research some of the animals and find out how they ended up extinct!

If you have an interest in Existing, Endangered or Extinct animals, why not conduct some of your own research at home! You could even try to create your own tree of life or even your own animal (see below) We can't wait to see what you find out!
