They depend on each other. When part of the ecosystem is gone, the other pars are in danger! This means that extinction hurts everyone: animals, plants, and people!</div> <div> Many people do not believe that animals around us will be gone forever. People sometimes think that it is not possible that ALL manatees will be gone. But, a cousin of mantee called a Stellar Sea Cow was extincy by people hunting it in 1786. Stellar sea cow was the only manatee that lived in cold water. It was about 35 feet long. It does not exist any more.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="07d29400.jpg" border=0 width="297" height="320" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
