1) What might have been some factors that caused the extinction of this species? Some factors that could have caused the extinction of this species include humans hunting it, either for its fur or other uses, as well as its habitats being destroyed, or possibly its prey becoming endangered or extinct, leaving the cougar without a food source.
2) What did the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have to do in order to declare the Eastern Cougar Extinct? In order to declare the Eastern Cougar extinct, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service received 573 responses to a request for scientific information about the possible existence of the eastern cougar subspecies. They also conducted an extensive review of U.S. and Canadian scientific literature and and requested information from the 21 States within the historical range of the subspecies, none of whom believed that there was any Eastern Cougar population.
1) Some factors that caused the extinction of this species are having the species habitat being destroyed by either humans or other animals, humans hunting the species for food and fur, and lastly, having its prey go away (extinct); causing a loss of food source.
2) The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had to do research on scientific U.S. and Canadian species to get an historical literature about Eastern Cougar subspecies in order to declare the Eastern Cougar Extinct because many researchers wanted to know (from request) scientific information.
1. Some factors that contribute to extinction of the species are humans hunting the species, in addition if the habitat was destroyed by a natural disaster then there would be a loss of food causing the cougar to die.
2. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had to do research on the US and Canadian species. They asked states to turn in population numbers. However none of the states said they knew there was population and therefore the species was deemed extinct.
1. Factors that could have potentially lead to the extinction of these species is the poaching industry of the animals, the destruction of habitat by humans or other animals. Thirdly, it could have been the extinction or dramatic decrease of the food source (prey) of the cougar.
2. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had to search for the cougar and upon finding none, they declared it was extinct. However, they received much information about information of the where-abouts the animal. They had to do much research to officially declare the animal extinct and explore large amounts of research bases as well as areas to make sure their statement was true.
1. Factors that contribute to the extinction of the cougar would be hunting, natural disasters killing them and their prey, and the destruction of their natural habitat.
2. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had to do a lot of research and they asked states to send in the population numbers. When there were none reported, they were declared extinct.
1. The extinction of the Eastern Cougar could have been attributed to the hunting or poaching, habitat destruction, a drop in food sources, climate change, or pollution. 2. The USFWS had to collect information from voluntary sources that sent in their information as well as information from the states that have had this species in the past. They also looked at literature from the US and Canada as well as scientific research.
1. the factors that played a role to the extinction of the eastern cougar, would be mostly the effect of hunting the species, and the destruction of their habitat which could have lead to indirect loss of materials or food sources that these animals needed to survive, which lead them into extinction.
2. they had to do tons of research and collect from many sources in order for them to declare this species as an extinct animal.
Factors that possibly lead to the extinction of the eastern cougar are poaching/hunting, and a loss of habitat, or possibly a small population.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service basically conducted a search for information on the number of cougar sitings, and more research to conclude the eastern cougar to be extinct.
1. Some factors that could have contributed to the extinction of the Eastern Cougar are hunting/killing for recreational or defensive purposes, loss of prey/food source or increase in predators, habitat destruction (possibly due to pollution and climate change), or too specific of living conditions.
2. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had to make sure that there had been no recent sightings of the cougar, which would imply that there is still a population of the cougars living. They requested information from the 21 closest states to where the species lives, and received news that there had been no recent sightings. In total, they received 573 responses to their request for scientific information regarding the cougar, and were able to conclude that the animal is officially extinct.
1) What might have been some factors that caused the extinction of this species. There are a number of reasons that could attribute to the extinction of the Eastern Cougar. First, the cougar was hunted/poached by humans. Secondly, the habitat of the Eastern Cougar was being destroyed. Thirdly, there was a limited resource of prey for the Eastern Cougar to eat.
2) What did the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have to do in order to declare the Eastern Cougar Extinct? USFWS had to make sure that information from the surrounding states where the species lived had no evidence of the Eastern Cougar being alive. Due to the number of research they gathered from the areas where the Eastern Cougar lives, they were able to conclude that the animal is extinct.

1.)Some factors that caused the extinction of this species are the hunting and killing of it for human gain and recreation . Also the loss of prey for the Cougar to eat caused a problem. As well as this the habitat being destructed did not help to keep the species alive.
2) First off the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service had to ensure that no sightings of the cougar had recently occurred. This helped them to come to the decision that the population of Cougars was small, or did not exist. They then requested information from states near where the species resides and determined still that no sightings had occurred. They received multiple responses claiming that their was not scientific information about the Cougar concluding that it was extinct.
1.) Some factors that could have caused the extinction of this species include humans hunting it, either for its fur or other uses, as well as its habitats being destroyed, or possibly its prey becoming endangered or extinct, leaving the cougar without a food source
2.) The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had to search for the cougar and upon finding none, they declared it was extinct. However, they have received a lot of information about where the animal is located. They had to do much research to officially declare the animal extinct and explore large amounts of research bases as well as areas to make sure their statement was true.
The major causes of their extinction are both hunting for its fur or for sport. Another factor would be destruction of habitat. Although, there is a third cause, the over hunting of its food source which would starve the species to extinction.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service went on a long search for the cougar, at the end of the journey none were to be found and thus they declared the species extinct. However, before the species was OFFICIALLY declared extinct they did more thorough research.
1) What might have been some factors that caused the extinction of this specie. Hunting and habitat loss.
2) What did the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have to do in order to declare the Eastern Cougar Extinct? They did extensive research about the Eastern Cougar and its whereabouts. They concluded that while some cougars still exist in the wild, there are no longer any Eastern Cougars.

Some factors that could have led to the extinction of this cougar are its hunting, as well as the destruction of its habitat if the places i which it lived were being developed by humans. Their evolving could have been a factor as well because perhaps they were unable to adapt to their environment as quickly as they would have needed to 2. In order for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the cougar from the Endangered List and declare it extinct they had to write a proposal that was to be considered. The information from this proposal came from an extensive amount of research that had been conducted in the 21 states in which the cougar used to live. The states all stated that they believed that the cougar no longer existed
1) What might have been some factors that caused the extinction of this species. Some factor that may have contributed to the extinction of this species include destruction of habitat, over hunting of the species, they could have been out competed for food by an invasive species.
2) What did the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have to do in order to declare the Eastern Cougar Extinct? The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had to consult all the states that were in the region of the eastern cougars historical habitat and consult with them over whether or not they were believed to be alive in that area.
1. Some factors of the extinction of the Easter Cougar would be over hunting for fur and other resources, loss of habitat from deforestation and human expansion, and from loss of prey, leaving the cougar resource-less. 2. To declare the Eastern Cougar extinct the U.S. fish and Wild life service needed to conduct an extensive review of Canadian and U.S. literature and information on the population of the cougar subspecies in its habitat range after many requests for scientific information on possible existence.
1) What might have been some factors that caused the extinction of this specie. Humans are notoriously hard on predators because of fear and predation on domestic animals. Also, we know that the higher the trophic level, the lower the biomass because of energy and nutrient availability. THey also require large territory and could not adapt to changing habitat.
2) What did the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have to do in order to declare the Eastern Cougar Extinct? Basically, they had to gather every piece of evidence they could and show that there was none for the continued existence of the subspecies.
