Step-by-step explanation:

An endangered species is a species that is at risk of extinction due to rapid decrease in their population. Their decrease in population might be due to loss of habitat and genetic variation. The loss of habitat might be due to natural factors like the climate change For example animals like dinosaurs during the cretaceous period that experience rapid change in the climate loss their habitat and went extinct.

Human activity can also influence loss of habitat. Development in housing, agriculture and industry can also threaten the habitats of native organisms. The loss of their habitat might cause sudden extinction of these organisms. They might find it hard to adapt to another environment or even procreate.
