There are some species of animal which are dancing on the edge of extinction.
We know the most famous endangered species; Lions, Tigers, Elephants, Gorilla's and so on, however, some of the most Critically Endangered species are not given the widespread attention, or conservation that say, Tigers get. In this blog, we shall look at the species which are so close to becoming extinct, and, that we could lose them in 2016. |
This leaves only three Northern White Rhinos left. If two die this year, then it really is the end for the Northern White Rhino.
There population is considerably better than the Northern White Rhino, but not by much.
There are around 60 Javan White Rhinos left.
The brown spider monkey is the worlds rarest monkey, with only 30 remaining in the wild.
The surviving monkeys are in a protected park in columbia.
This cute little animal lives in the Madagascar rainforest, there are thought to be as little as 100 of them remaining in the wild.
Today their main threat is not hunting, but in breeding with domestic cats.
The future doesn't look too bright for wildcats, as only around 40 remain in the wild.
The main cause of their drive to extinction is hunting.
