Hi what's the difference between "die" and "die out"? Why don't we use "die" in all cases? (Some animals could die out because of climate change)

Hi Sara, die refers to an individual or specific group f individuals, whereas ‘die out’ refers to the extinction of an entire species, or language, or tribal custom when encroaching societies overwhelm the cultural identity of a small ethnic group.
