Scientists are predicting that one-third of land animals could suffer dramatic losses over the course of the century due to one awful thing…

CLIMATE CHANGE!

Even worse is that over half of all plants could be hit just as hard as their environments become unsuitable for their disposition.

As different ecosystems begin to collapse, there will be major consequences to us humans.

Remember this day!

On April 2nd at the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida a beautiful female Tapir was born!

A Baird’s Tapir to be exact! And it is a cutie!

The Baird’s Tapir are an endangered species, so to have another one enter our world is truly a blessing!

It's just a bonus for us that they happen to be so adorable!

Check out more pictures (below) !!!

Tabu, a Bollywood actress who starred in Life of Pi is being charged along with four other actors for the killing of a protected animal.

The poaching case is a 14-year-old and is finally going to trial next month for the shooting of a blackbuck, a protected antelope.

Tabu and the four other actors were shooting a film in 1998 near Jodhpur when the shooting took place.

What's crazy is if they're convicted, they could face up to

Sure, everyone wants their own pet T-Rex!

Though remember, they may be cute when they're babies, but once they start to get too big, you can't just flush them down the toilet like a New York City alligator myth. LOLz!

All jokes aside, just because we have the ability to do something, does it mean we should??

When it comes to extinct species, if we can get our hands on a sample of their DNA, there's a good chance we'd be able to bring them back.

Ethically though, is that something we should do?

Sure, they once lived on this planet, but their era has long since passed.

But we want a pet wooly mammoth!!

Check out the video (above) to hear a scientist argue for and against extinct species resurrection!

Doesn't make sense?!?!?! Well let us (by us we mean scientists) explain!

Scientists once estimated that over 100 million species of plants and animals roam the earth. With a number that high, many believed that there was no way to discover and name all of them before some went extinct.

Not so fast!

Recently, researchers have found that this may not be the case. With the increase in taxonomists, it is possible to name all of the world's unknown species?!?!

But how does this help??? We'll tell you how!!!

Sheldon's catchphrase, bazinga!, is now the name of a new species of bee!
