Top 10 Animals We Wouldn't Want to Become Extinct

The Top Ten
1 Dogs The dog or domestic dog (Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated descendant of the wolf, and is characterized by an upturning tail. The dog is derived from an ancient, extinct wolf, and the modern wolf is the dog's nearest living relative. The dog was the first species to be domesticated, by hunter–gatherers over 15,000 years ago, before the development of agriculture. Due to their long association with humans, dogs have expanded to a large number of domestic individuals and gained the ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canids. ...read more.

Dogs should become extinct. You should worry about rhinos, tigers, wolves, and pandas.

Dogs are the best, especially pit bulls so dogs should not become extinct ever.

If dogs became extinct, we would cry forever. Man's best friend extinct.

Well, no animal should get extinct because of us. Except probably rats.

2 Cats The cat (Felis catus) is a domestic species of small carnivorous mammal. ...read more.

Actually, house cats not existing anymore would have a positive impact to the native wildlife worldwide which are threatened or endangered due to invasion of nonnative house cats, despite the world having cat-loving people or people who are just obsessed with cats.

Even though I'm not a cat fan, still.

3 Bottle Nosed Dolphins

The entertainers of the sea... Becomes extinct. NOO!

4 Horses
5 Seals Pinnipeds, commonly known as seals, are a widely distributed and diverse clade of carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic, mostly marine mammals in the clade Pinnipedia.

6 Blue Jays The Blue Jay (Latin name 'Cyanocitta Cristata') is a passerine bird in the Corvidae family . It's also known as a 'Jaybird' and it's name comes from it's noisy nature .

They're too beautiful to be extinct. Who wants them extinct anyway? Almost no one. Who agrees?

The blue jays mlb team then will go extinct

7 Bumble Bees

They are so cute! Even though the extinction of their relatives (the honeybees) would be economically worse. No fruit or veggies, no pollination, it's the most likely cause of an apocalypse.

No bees would be tragic, plants can't thrive without them. No bees, no life on earth.

8 Lionfish

Very beautiful, very deadly. Should never go extinct despite being deadly!

I don't care if they're deadly! I'm putting it here anyway.

9 Humans Humans (Homo sapiens) are the most abundant and widespread species of primate, characterized by bipedalism and large, complex brains. This has enabled the development of advanced tools, culture, and language. Humans are highly social and tend to live in complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states. Social interactions... read more

Pretty sure we would rather see giraffes go extinct (nothing against them of course) than go extinct ourselves.

10 Cows Cattle (Bos taurus) are large, domesticated, cloven-hooved, herbivores. They are a prominent modern member of the subfamily Bovinae and the most widespread species of the genus Bos. Adult females are referred to as cows and adult males are referred to as bulls. ...read more.

As I'm on this list, this is on #10 and right under it is an ad about how cows shouldn't be killed... I'm not even joking.

I'm just thinking inside the box here, but aren't cows a food source to millions of people? (i.E. the Americans. )

Also, cows are our main supplier of milk.

11 Butterflies Butterflies are part of the class of insects in the order Lepidoptera, along with the moths. Adult butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight.

Some of the most beautiful species are nearly fluttering away forever though...

Butterflies are like a sign of hope.

12 Giraffes The giraffe is a tall African hoofed mammal belonging to the genus Giraffa. It is the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant- hoofed herbivorous- on Earth. Traditionally, giraffes were thought to be one species, Giraffa camelopardalis, with nine subspecies. Most recently, researchers proposed dividing them into up to eight extant species due to new research into their mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, as well as morphological measurements. Seven other extinct species of Giraffa are known from the fossil record. ...read more.

Who would want these to go extinct?

13 Wolves The wolf (Canis lupus), also known as the gray or grey wolf, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America. Over thirty subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, with gray wolves comprising the wild subspecies. As the largest extant member of the Canidae family, the wolf is distinguished from other Canis species by its less pointed ears and muzzle, a shorter torso, and a longer tail... read more

Wolves are amazing animals! And they're already on the endangered list! Any animal hater that wants any animal to go extinct is a heartless bastard! They're the ones who need to disappear!

Ah these animals are all ready endangered ahh I'm really really scared (these are my very favourite animal)!

If wolves were extinct, trees will die and elk would take over. It's called the circle of life.

14 Anteater Anteater is a common name for the four extant mammal species of the suborder Vermilingua commonly known for eating ants and termites.
15 Foxes

Foxes are beautiful and amazing, just like most creatures on this planet! And anyone who would kill an animal just for fun is a heartless bastard and a sorry excuse for a human being! They're the ones who should disappear from the face of the planet!

Hey! That's not nice, man. Foxes aren't that bad! Read Pax, for once.

16 Tiger The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus Panthera. It is most recognisable for its dark vertical stripes on orange fur with a white underside. An apex predator, it primarily preys on ungulates such as deer and wild boar. It is territorial and generally a solitary but social predator, requiring large contiguous areas of habitat, which support its requirements for prey and rearing of its offspring. Tiger cubs stay with their mother for about two years, then become independent and leave their mother's home range to establish their own. ...read more.

Tigers are awesome! I'm sensing animal haters! They're the ones that should go extinct!

17 Snow Leopard The snow leopard (Panthera uncia), also known as the ounce, is a felid in the genus Panthera native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because the global population is estimated to number fewer than 10,000 mature individuals and is expected to decline about 10% by 2040. It is threatened by poaching and habitat destruction following infrastructural developments. It inhabits alpine and subalpine zones at elevations of 3,000–4,500 m (9,800–14,800 ft), ranging from eastern Afghanistan, the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau to southern Siberia, Mongolia and western China. In the northern part of its range, it also lives at lower elevations. ...read more.

Love them *hugs a snow leopard*

Beautiful and amazing!

18 Red Panda The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), or also known as the red bear-cat or the red cat-bear, is a mammal native to the Eastern Himalayas and Southwestern China. It's the only animal that belongs to the Aliuridae family. Despite having the word "panda" in its name, it's not a panda. It's closely related to raccoons, weasels, and skunks as they all belong to the musteloidea superfamily.

They're dangerously close to extinction

19 Giant Panda The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), also known as the panda bear (or simply the panda), is a bear species endemic to China. ...read more.

These big animals are very important for the environment and that if they were extinct, it would have a devastating effect on the environment that it lives in.
