What is the difference between Endangered and Extinct Species?


An endangered species is a species of organisms that will likely become extinct. So this means that there are just few organism of a certain group of animals live. Endangered species are threatened by factors such as habitat loss, hunting, disease and climate change, and usually, endangered species, have a declining population or a very limited range.

In biology and ecology, extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms normally a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point.
