The first animal was extinct because of climate change

Climate change is sweeping many species, pushing them to shore.

How big is the current climate change process, so many people know. Global warming, changing sea levels, ruined habitats . all are disturbing the life of the creature, pushing many species to the path of destruction.

However, the extinct creatures because of climate change today only have birds, insects and aquatic species, but no animals. But recently, scientists have identified the first extinct animal case, and more notably it is a rat species - one of the most horribly adaptable creatures on the planet.

Bramble Mouse Spicy Melomys - the first mammal to be extinct because of climate change.

Specifically, it is the Bramble rat Cay Melomys - a rodent species , similar in size to small muscle mice. They are the only native animal around the world's largest coral reef, the Great Barrier, on an island between Queensland (Australia) and Papua New Guinea.

This rat was very crowded and . aggressive in the 70s of the last century. But only a few decades later, they were listed as endangered animals.

By 2014, experts had conducted surveys across the island, using traps and cameras to determine the number of Bramble Cay rats on the island. In the end, after two years, they were forced to conclude that the rat was officially extinct.

According to Luke Leung, an expert at the University of Queensland (Australia), the co-author studied: "We can confirm that Australia lost another animal with considerable confidence. The main cause of the destruction of Bramble mice Spicy is caused by changes in tides and sea levels are slowly engulfing the island. "

Sea level change is one of the main causes contributing to the destruction of the lives of small creatures. As of March 2014, the island's living area has narrowed to a record. Areas where rats can shelter, like caves and rocks, gradually disappear.

The shrinking land also makes the amount of food become scarce. This species of rat only feeds on plants and now has to compete with turtles and seabirds. As a consequence, everyone saw that, the Earth lost one more animal.

Great Barrier Reef is being dyed white because the acid in the sea water rises.

But don't stop there, experts believe that this extinction is just the tip of the iceberg. The truth is that climate change is making the world of the world suffer seriously. According to a report from 2015, there will be at least 1/6 species of organisms on Earth facing extinction disaster because of this.

Coral is also on the brink of extinction.

John White, an ecologist from Deakin University (Australia) shared: "Basically, climate change and the organism's recruitment are inherent together throughout history. So this is possible. the first animal to become extinct, but certainly not the last. "
