Starting from the fur trade till now year 2008!

Go by years please…

Lets pretend the fur trade started at 1030. Start like this:

Year 1030 = 1 Sea otter in Canda

Get the idea ?? (the 1 sea otter is just an example hehe)

Here in NZ we’ve got several species of flightless bird which are endangered in the wild, like kiwis, takahe and kakapo. I’d have thought that the more breeding pairs there were in different locations throughout the world, the better their chances of survival. The high prices they command guarantee that they’ll be well looked after. Why don’t we encourage an export trade in them?

I wes reading aboiut a man who possessed the feathers of Golden Eagles, and other such feathers and he got arrested. So why is possessing the feather of an endangered species illegal? What harm will possissing this feather do?

OK, here are the questions:
Where is a venatasaurus from?
The scientific name for a Siberian Tiger?
What two trees are the tallest trees with the largest volume?

Please put the time and date on your answer.
For number 3, I meant what two specific trees. Not species, but NAMES of trees, like, there could be an oak named The Great Oak or something…
And I don’t mean they have the largest volume of any tree. I just mean that they have the largest volume of any tree that height.
Once again, there was a misunderstanding. When I said Venatosaurus, I meant the Venatosaurus from that one island that split off of godwanaland…at least I THINK that’s how you spell the land mass that it split off from. And once again, just another reminder:
SPECIFIC NAMES OF TREES
Not species, NAMES
Like, people names. Someone had the name of one of the trees.

I need to know any endangered species that are found in the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. Any help would be appreciated =)
I’ve checked the park’s website and various websites; however, I am unable to find any answers.

Do sea otters use tools?
How are sea urchins and kelp forests connected?
What happens to kelp forests when sea urchins are not present in the ecosystem?
Why are kelp forests important?
