34 - Integrated: Why did the sea cows in Siberia become extinct?
In this set of materials, the professor mainly discuses three reasons for the extinction of sea cow in 1768, while the professor casts doubt on what is presented in the text and believes that the main reason is still unknown and there are some problems for each of these hypothesizes.
First of all, in the text it is clearly mentioned that sea cows may have been overhunted by native Siberian people. However, the professor claims that the sea cows were massive creatures. In fact, there were about 9meters and had 10 tons weight; therefore, the couple of them were enough to feed a small village. Indeed, those people had fed from sea cows, but according to this issue that their population was not large, they did not need to hunt a lot of them to make them become extinct.
In addition, the professor disagree with the statement that the decline in kelps caused by ecosystem disturbance was the reason for sea cows extinction. He points out that before 1768 a number of ecological changes occurred which not only affected the kelp's life, but also some other creatures. For instance, some marine mammals, like whales. But there was not any report indicated the decrease in whales’ population. As a result, it seems that the kelps were growing fine and the sea cows had not encounter food shortage.
Finally, although in the text it is states that European fur trader who came to the island after 1741 are the main cause of extinction, the professor subscribes to the view point that based on some evidences, the fur traders might be one of the decline in the sea cows' population, but they were not the main reason. Because when they arrived to the island their population was quite small; consequently, there must be some other serious and ongoing factors which should be considered as main contributed elements. So, the traders were not responsible since they were just the last people who arrived there.
