I've heard that the P. Metallica will eventually go extinct in the wild. I'm sure there are others heading in the same direction and I'm wondering which ones? And are there any extinct in the wild already?
Yes, it was a real question. Maybe it could've been worded better.was that a real question lol? theres probably dozens if not more that havent even been discovered yet. let alone that have already went extinct. let alone ones that are cross bred. i dont think humans are solely responsible for hybrid ts... id imagine they do it in the wild as well, just maybe less frequent?
The Jamaican species Cyrtopholis jamaicola (Strand, 1908), and any other species from Jamaica if there are any, is thought to be extinct in it's natural habitat due to the introduction of the mongoose. The only reference I could find to this is from Rick West in a chat transcript at the old PetBugs.com site. I've tried, albeit not that hard, to try and find more concrete evidence such as published spider surveys of Jamaica or published articles on such specifically to no avail. I would consider this information hypothetical at best. Besides, species thought to be extinct sometimes are rediscovered.And are there any extinct in the wild already?
I agree, extinct animals are only extinct until they are found again. Not that I would expect to see a T. rex walk down my block, but its not uncommon to hear of a animal that hasn't been seen in 50-100 years re-appear.Besides, species thought to be extinct sometimes are rediscovered.
