They just took the Manatees off of the endangered list in Florida, so the answer to your question is %26quot;YES%26quot;.

Animals can%26#039;t really change their environments like we can-it%26#039;s what kept us alive with no natural defenses or weapons. Animals can adapt to their environment %26#039;using%26#039; evolutionary processes. They have more kids than will survive. All the kids have slightly different characteristics. The kids with the best slightly different characteristics survive to make more animals with the %26#039;good%26#039; characteristics. After a while, the animal species has changed a little, with different traits than the original ancestor. This is called micro-evolution. The next step is tricky; macro-evolution. Sometimes the kids are mutated alot and are REALLY different from their parents. If the mutation helps the animal have an edge over it%26#039;s brothers and sisters, it survives and makes more %26#039;mutants.%26#039; After a while, these %26#039;mutants%26#039; have a family that barely looks like the original parents at all-an entirely new species. That%26#039;s really the only way animals adapt to their environment. Some can use tools, but none are intelligent enough to change the weather/plants/or food of their environment on purpose to their advantage.

It%26#039;s called evolution, and it is an on-going process, even for man.
White-tail deer, for instance, have adapted to man%26#039;s encroachment on their habitat quite well. There many times more deer in the U. S. today than when man first stepped onto what is now the continental U. S.. In many of the southern states deer have become so plentiful that they are considered a pest -- in spite of all the deer-car collisions and all the deer take through legal (and, unfortunately, illegal) hunting practices. 0% 0 Votes -
As long as man keeps encroaching upon the territory of wild beasts, this is an almost losing battle for the animal world. Even when man doesn%26#039;t overtly take the land away, the poisons and natural filth that man creates and can%26#039;t clean, endangers almost all its inhabitants.
Most animals, like man, are a resilient bunch and continue to create a niche for themselves even under the most horrendous conditions. This is the only way most animals in the wild can continue. Eventually, most wild animals will fall prey to man%26#039;s continual presence. 25% 1 Vote -
This is an interesting question.
Yes, all animals can potentially adapt, and those that can%26#039;t will die out. Many of the animals we know today probably wouldn%26#039;t be able to adapt fast enough to survive if we continue to take over their habitats, cut down trees, etc. This is a very sad thing, and it is the reason that people try to protect endangered species. The larger animals are probably going to be the ones that are least likely to be able to adapt, as well as highly specialized animals (like the animals that live in the rainforest) because small disruptions in their ecosystems could cause major problems for them. Animals like rats, raccoons, insects, all those pests, they will be the ones to survive, because that is the reason they are %26quot;pests%26quot;, they have already adapted and are living with us, and we don%26#039;t like it.
So really, your opinion on what we should do about endangered species depends on how much you like the animals we have now and how much you feel that our current lives are part of the %26quot;natural process%26quot; (or whether you just don%26#039;t care). If we continue in the way we are going, we will wipe out many of the amazing species that we have on our planet now. Some will survive by adaptation, and we ourselves may be threatened in time (probably by bacteria, or viruses) continuing the cycle. 0% 0 Votes -
I am sooo sick of people cutting and pasting the yahoo explanations and presenting them as original answers. Animals CAN change their habits...it%26#039;s called evolution. Animals will hunt other food, if their first choice is not readily available. Animals cannot change an inherent urge, such as the urge for salmon to travel upstream hundreds of miles, and spawn in the stream in which they were born, even though many of them die on the trek. They can change their eating/hunting habits, and their living arrangements. They do need our help though. Unfortunately, humans typically do more harm than good in an effort to conserve certain species, not understanding that it is natural for certain species to die out. It%26#039;s called natural selection..only the strongest survive!
