I've read somewhere a couple years back that mass extinction happens all the time. Before the dinosaurs they were mass extinctions that happened. The same thing happened to the dinosaurs and a lot of the large mammals after the last ice age. It's a natural occurrence that takes place every once in a while. The earth is slowly warming up on its own due volcanic activity under the Pacific Ocean releasing huge amount of methane gas into the atmosphere and the earth shifted its axis so that it is now orbiting closer to the sun. We humans are just speeding up warming process faster than it should. Eventually, a lot of the species are going to go extinct. There only hope is with captive breeding by reptiles enthusiasts like you.
