Extinction
Extinction is the termination of an organism by the death of its Endling, last member. A taxon may become Functional extinction, functionally extinct before the death of its last member if it loses the capacity to Reproduction, reproduce and recover. As a species' potential Range (biology), range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxon, Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "reappears" (typically in the Fossil, fossil record) after a period of apparent absence. Over five billion species are estimated to have died out. It is estimated that there are currently around 8.7 million species of eukaryotes globally, possibly many times more if microorganisms are included. Notable extinct animal species include Dinosaur, non-avian dinosaurs, Machairodontinae, saber-toothed cats, and mammoths. Through evolution, species arise through the process of specia ...

Aliger Gigas
''Aliger gigas'', originally known as ''Strombus gigas'' or more recently as ''Lobatus gigas'', common name, commonly known as the queen conch, is a species of large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family (biology), family of true conches, the Strombidae. This species is one of the largest molluscs native to the Caribbean Sea, and Tropical Atlantic#Marine provinces, tropical northwestern Atlantic, reaching up to in shell length. ''A. gigas'' is closely related to the goliath conch, ''Titanostrombus goliath'', a species endemic to Brazil, as well as the rooster conch, ''Aliger gallus''. The queen conch is herbivorous. It feeds by browsing for plant and algal material growing in the seagrass beds, and scavenging for decaying plant matter. These large sea snails typically reside in seagrass beds, which are sandy plains covered in swaying sea grass and associated with coral reefs, although the exact habitat of this species varies according to developmental age.
