Problem Description:
The task is to categorize the animals shown in the images into three columns:
NON-ENDANGERED,
EXTINCT, and
ENDANGERED. The goal is to place each animal in the correct category based on its conservation status.
Images of Animals:
1.
Tyrannosaurus Rex
2.
Rhino
3.
Gorilla
4.
Hyena
5.
Cheetah
6.
Tiger
7.
Mammoth
8.
Giraffe
Solution Approach:
To solve this problem, we need to determine the conservation status of each animal:
-
NON-ENDANGERED: Species that are not at risk of extinction.
-
EXTINCT: Species that no longer exist.
-
ENDANGERED: Species that are at high risk of extinction due to various factors such as habitat loss, poaching, or climate change.
#### Step 1: Identify the Conservation Status of Each Animal
1.
Tyrannosaurus Rex: Extinct (died out millions of years ago).
2.
Rhino: Endangered (due to poaching and habitat loss).
3.
Gorilla: Endangered (due to habitat destruction and poaching).
4.
Hyena: Non-endangered (populations are stable and widespread).
5.
Cheetah: Vulnerable (close to being endangered but not yet classified as endangered).
6.
Tiger: Endangered (due to habitat loss and poaching).
7.
Mammoth: Extinct (died out thousands of years ago).
8.
Giraffe: Vulnerable (close to being endangered but not yet classified as endangered).
#### Step 2: Categorize the Animals
Based on the above information, we can categorize the animals as follows:
-
NON-ENDANGERED: Hyena
-
EXTINCT: Tyrannosaurus Rex, Mammoth
-
ENDANGERED: Rhino, Gorilla, Tiger
Note: Cheetah and Giraffe are classified as "Vulnerable," which means they are close to being endangered but not yet in the "Endangered" category. For the purpose of this task, we will consider them as "Non-endangered" since they are not officially listed as "Endangered."
Final Answer:
```
NON-ENDANGERED: Hyena, Cheetah, Giraffe
EXTINCT: Tyrannosaurus Rex, Mammoth
ENDANGERED: Rhino, Gorilla, Tiger
```
Explanation:
-
Hyena, Cheetah, Giraffe: These species are not currently classified as endangered and have relatively stable populations.
-
Tyrannosaurus Rex, Mammoth: These species are extinct and no longer exist in the wild.
-
Rhino, Gorilla, Tiger: These species are critically endangered and face significant threats to their survival.
This categorization ensures that each animal is placed in the correct column based on its conservation status.
Final Answer Boxed:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
\text{NON-ENDANGERED} & \text{EXTINCT} & \text{ENDANGERED} \\
\hline
\text{Hyena, Cheetah, Giraffe} & \text{Tyrannosaurus Rex, Mammoth} & \text{Rhino, Gorilla, Tiger} \\
\hline
\end{array}
}
\]
