    The wolf became extinct in England in 1486, Scotland in 1743,and Ireland in 1770.

    QuaggaQuagga, Equus burchelli quagga, of the Karoo Plains and southern FreeState of South Africa were a subspecies of the Burchells Zebra, althoughtheir unique appearance wouldn't necessarily make this apparent. Somethought incorrectly that the Quagga was the female of Burchell's Zebra,probably because the natives gave both zebras the same name.

    In the wild, Quaggas, Ostriches and Wildebeests often grazed together inwhat was termed the "triple alliance". The Quagga's hearing, the Ostrich'seyesight and the Wildibeast's keen sense of smell comprised excellentdefense from predators for the entire herd. However, its limited range madeit all the more vulnerable and Quaggas were hunted to the brink ofextinction in the mid 19th Century by settlers razing sheep, goats and otherlivestock. The last Quagga died in in 1883 in an Amsterdam Zoo.

    Definition of Extinct Animals

    The species no longer present in its original range or as a distinct species elsewhere.

    Definition of Endangered Animals

    An endangered species is a population of organisms which is at risk of becoming extinct

    because it is either few in numbers, or threatened by changing environmental or predationparameters. The International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN) has calculated the

    percentage of endangered species as 40 percent of all organisms based on the sample of speciesthat have been evaluated through 2006.[2]

    Many nations have lawsoffering protection to conservation reliant species: for example,forbidding hunting, restricting land development or creating preserves.

    When Youre Gone Avril Lavigne Song and Lyrics Code

    When Youre Gone Avril Lavigne

    I always needed time on my own

    I never thought Id need you there when I cry

    And the days feel like years when Im alone

    And the bed where you lieis made up on your side

    When you walk away

    I count the steps that you takeDo you see how much I need you right now?

    When youre gone

    The pieces of my heart are missing you

    When youre goneThe face I came to know is missing too

    When youre gone

    All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day

    And make it OKI miss you

    Ive never felt this way before

    Everything that I doReminds me of you

    And the clothes you left

    they lie on my floor

    And they smell just like youI love the things that you do

    When you walk away

    I count the steps that you take

    Do you see how much I need you right now?

    When youre goneThe pieces of my heart are missing you

    When youre gone

    The face I came to know is missing too

    And when youre gone

    The words I need to hear to always get me through the dayAnd make it OK

    I miss you

    We were made for each other

    Out here foreverI know we were

    Yeah Yeah

    All I ever wanted was for you to know

    Everything I do I give my heart and soulI can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me

    Yeah

    When youre goneThe pieces of my heart are missing you

    When youre gone

    The face I came to know is missing too

    When youre goneThe words I need to hear will always get me through the day

    And make it OK

    I miss you
