So why does planet earth loose entire species of animals and plants every day?

Is it natural selection?

Is it survival of the fittest?

Is it loss of habitat from mankind chopping down the rain forests?

Is it climate change which destroys the ecosystems of these creatures?

I don’t think so.

My theory is that endangered species are endangered because they are tasty.

In some cases they were tasty to humans so we ate them out of existence (eg The Moa).

In other cases they were tasty to predators so they ate them out of existence (eg The Dodo).

Here is my list of what I suspect are the tastiest animals left on the planet. I am super keen to nibble on them for sure:

  1. Imagine Giant Panda kebabs with BBQ sauce
  2. Imagine thick pan-fried Blue Whale steaks with mushrooms
  3. Imagine bacon and Albatross Egg toasted sandwiches
  4. Imagine char-grilled Arakan Forest Turtle with hollandaise sauce

Hmmmmm yum!!.  I hope I get a chance before they are all gone!
