2. The number of endangered animals is getting
higher everyday .
Just because some people hunt them just to
keep their antlers as a “trophy” or becaue of
their fur or meat.
Besides that we make their habitats smaller
each day, we just have to kill them too ?
3. The most criticaly
endangered animals:
Amur Leopard
Giant Panda
Leatherback SeaTurtle
The Little Dodo Bird
Chinese Giant Salamander
Ivory Billed Woodpecker
Northern Sportive Lemur
The Saola-an Asian unicorn
TheTiger
4. Amur leopard
The Amur leopard is the rarest cat in the
world.
There are only about 30 individuals in the
world today.
5. Giant Panda
There are left just over 1.800 pandas in the
wild.
Poaching the animals for their fur has
declined due to strict laws and greater public
awareness of the panda’s protected status.
But hunters seeking other animals in panda
habitats continue to kill pandas accidentally.
6. Leatherback Sea Turtle
Leatherback turtles are named for their shell,
which is leather-like rather than hard, like
other turtles
. Leatherbacks feed almost exclusively on
jellyfish, making them susceptible to
mistakenly swallowing plastic bags floating in
the ocean, which can kill them.
7. The Little Dodo Bird
A few hundred individuals remain on two
Samoan islands, and they are disappearing at
an alarming rate due to habitat loss and
illegal hunting.
The little dodo bird is facing the same
problem of extinction as his extinct cousin the
dodo bird-giant flightless pigeon.
8. Chinese Giant
Salamander
The Chinese giant salamander is the biggest
amphibian in the world growing up to 6 ft (180
cm) long.
So many things can easily affect them like air
and water pollution, and the loss of their habitat,
that it is no wonder their numbers have been
declining.
Another problem is that these animals are used
for Chinese medicine, so the world's most
dangerous predator, mankind, is after them.
9. Ivory Billed Woodpecker
Although officially classified as definitely or probably
extinct, these woodpeckers continue to generate both
reports of sightings and intensive research on their
existence.
Ranked as the largest woodpecker to ever inhabit the
United States and one of the largest in the world, the
continued existence of this species is highly dampened
by the large-scale destruction of its original habitat.
10. Northern sportive Lemur
Researchers recently reported that there may
be fewer than 20 of the Critically Endangered
northern sportive lemurs left in the wild.
This lemur is a tiny creature, weighing less than
two pounds. It has large eyes to give it better
night vision.
11. The Saola-an Asian unicorn
Often called the Asian unicorn, little is known
about the enigmatic saola in the two decades
since its discovery.
this rarely-seen mammal is already critically
endangered.
12. The Tiger
Wild tiger numbers are at an all-time low.We
have lost 97% of wild tigers in just over a
century.
Tigers may be one of the most revered
animals, but they are also vulnerable to
extinction. As few as 3.200 exist in the wild
today.
