Environmental Risk Perception
Introduction
As the world population grows so does where the individuals live. People are taking up space that once where animals inhabited. Some animals have been hunted over the years for food, while others have been hunted for sport. The animals that have been hunted for food and sport some of them have started to become extinct. One will see how the animals are saved once they start to become extinct and the outcome of the animals once they get off the extinction list. As old as man and time individuals have killed animals for food. In the beginning, when man killed for food, they used the entire animal they killed not just for food. They used its hide for clothing, shelter, and the bones as weapons. It is not just individuals who kill animals; animals kill other animals. The animals that kill other animals sometimes are in the same herd, fighting over a female, fighting for the top spot or killing to feed upon. Dinosaurs roamed the Earth 230 million years ago. They were on this planet for over 160 million years. During this time, there were three different time sections for the dinosaurs. There was the Triassic period, Jurassic period, and the Cretaceous period. The Cretaceous was the last period and they became extinct in this time period. Not all dinosaurs became extinct; they have ancestors in today 's the world. The ones that did not survive, no one has a clue how they died out. There is speculation on how they died out, from ice bergs moving and flooding the planet or tar pits. Guess this is something that no one will know for a while. Granted most dinosaurs were herbivorous (plant eaters) and the others were carnivorous (meat eaters). The dinosaurs,that were herbivorous, were not a threat to the other dinosaurs and the cavemen. They ate quite a bit of the planet life, which in turn affected the environment. If the carnivorous had not
