Top 10 Critically Endangered Animals


 

 

It is undeniable that it is hard to make a list of endangered animals because of the number of animal species that are currently facing extinction. As this might be the case, it is only fitting to write this article according to World Wildlife Fund (WWF) list.

 

1. Black Rhino
During the last few decades, the population of black rhinos has decreased by 90 percent. There are now about 3000 rhinos in the world today and if poaching continues, they are believed to get extinct within the next few years.

2. Mountain Gorilla
Sad to say, there are only about 720 surviving gorillas in the wild and another 200 of them are living in the Virunga National Park. Thankfully, the active conservation efforts of the Democratic Republic of Congo have paid off. There had been a 14 percent increase in its population for the last 12 years.

3. Giant Panda
This is one of the iconic animals that represents all the endangered species of the world. There are now only less than 1,000 pandas in the wild. Because of their beautiful and soft fur, they are sought after by poachers. In addition to this, their natural habitats are now disappearing because of deforestation.

4. Beluga Sturgeon
Once believed to be extinct until one beluga sturgeon was found alive in the Caspian Sea, it is now considered to be an ancient living fossil. Because of its delicious meat, it is highly in-demand at exotic restaurants. Because of it is so expensive, many poachers are tempted to hunt down beluga sturgeon.

5. Polar Bears
The polar bears are among the earliest species that were threatened by the escalating global warming issue. With ice caps melting, it is estimated that within the next century the polar bears will be completely wiped off the face of the icy arctic.

6. Alligator Snapping Turtle
The meat of alligator snapping turtle is considered to be an exotic food. Due to international market demands for an alligator snapping turtle and the deforestation that is taking place in North America, this turtle is now rapidly decreasing in numbers.

Wildlife in the Amazon

 


 

If you are thinking about Jaguars hunting in the dark, Iguanas sloppily moving up a tree trunk, or the Anacondas crunching the bones of its prey, it has to be the thick dense rainforests of The Amazon. One of the largest biodiversity hotspot in the world and home to over 2000 species which accounts to about a third of the entire world species. Some of which are found exclusively in the Amazonian rainforest. These jungles are deep and dense, partly impenetrable and cover almost half of the South America. No matter how dangerous the Amazon forests are to us, they are home to thousands of varied wildlife species, out of which some are yet to be discovered as they discreetly hide in the Amazon forests. Take a sneak peak at some of the Stars of this ‘tinseltown’. 

 

Amazonian Mammals


The Amazon is home to more than 300 species of mammals some of which are endemic to the Amazon alone. Some are super-fast some are lazy and slow moving, some are harmless herbivores while some are carnivores.  Some prefer trees and some prefer water. Whatever types they are, these beautiful creatures are rare and the Amazon extends to them a humble abode. Bats and Rodents are the most widespread species in the amazon and famous for attacking and killing the tribes in the forest. Cats like Jaguar, Jaguarundi, and ocelot are the famed habitants of the ostentatious jungles of the Amazon.
