99.9999% of all the species that have ever lived on the planet are extinct. And yet the planet somehow manages to survive.
Adapt or die!

This can't be true. Only Republicans and Bush kill animals.

I've heard from travelers who have come back from China that the pollution and air quality are horrendous there, but the Chinese government doesn't care - full speed ahead with economic development.

China is a mess. I'm sure the ecofreaks will forget all about us now and go after China.

Like the dolphins in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", maybe these dolphins have supernaturally departed our sphere before the earth blows.

I will bet we will see this mammal again. I often find it humerous when announcements like this are stated and then the animal all of a sudden shows up and in numbers. They are just about as credible as the global warming liars.

Are you kidding. They looked for SIX WHOLE WEEKS. It must be extinct. On a related note I have not seen a mountain lion, black bear or Elk in my backyard for six weeks. They must now be extinct in Arizona. The tragedy!

Apparently they were'nt good eatin' and you could'nt wear their skin. The surest way for a species to survice these days is to have some use for people.
Be tasty, be decorative, have some economic value, or be otherwise useful. The keys to survival for critters. Or people for that matter...
