This series of books looks in detail at those animals that are now extinct and those that are endangered. What is extinction? And when does an animal become classified as endangered? Starting with the known mass extinctions from prehistory, including the dinosaurs, the series looks at the main biomes of the world, looking at extinction and endangered animals in each. It also looks optimistically at what can be done to save some precious species. Endangered and Extinct Animals of the Islands and Oceans takes a close look at the fascinating creatures that are fast disappearing from our seas. It examines why island wildlife is particularly vulnerable to extinction, what ancient creatures may still be surviving in the ocean depths and what the problems faced by today's whales and sharks are.
