The Kakapo parrot lives in  New Zealand is a unique creature in several ways. Not only is it the world’s heaviest parrot, weighing up to 9 pounds  but it is the world’s only only flightless parrot,and the only nocturnal one. The bird was once common on both of New Zealand’s main islands. However, by the early 1970′s it was thought to have been driven into extinction by such prolific human-introduced invasive predators as rats and cats, which killed the helpless young birds in their nests on the ground. Tiny populations were later found on a couple of smaller, more remote islands. Despite an intensive program of breeding and protection by the New Zealanders, currently there are fewer than 150 kakapos left in the wild—so few that almost all of them have names given to them by conservationists.

There are two lowland gorillas native to West Africa: the western lowland gorilla,which is the most numerous of the four gorilla subspecies, with over 100,000 individuals in the wild, and the Cross River gorilla, of which only a tiny population of a few hundred remains. populations have declined by over 60 percent during the past 25 years—and are projected to continue dropping over the coming decades. Causes for the increasing scarcity include habitat loss and illegal commercial hunting by poachers, who sell gorillas for food in West African marketsBut the largest killer of gorillas has been a deadly illness—the incurable ebola virus—which has ended the lives of up to 90 percent of these great apes in some forest areas.


javan rhino

The Javan rhinoceros is the most endangered of the world’s five rhinoceros species, with an estimated 40-60  remaining on the western tip of the Island of Java in Ujung Kulon National Park. The last member of another tiny population in Vietnam’s Cat Tien National Park was killed by poachers in 2011. The water- and swamp-loving Javan rhinoceros formerly ranged throughout Southeast Asia and Indonesia, but has been hunted to near extinction for its horn, which is used to make medicines. Although it is now protected, it may not have a large-enough breeding population to prevent the species from going extinct.

This is Where They Live

The most endangered of all the world’s whale species, the northern right whale. 350 individuals travel the Atlantic coasts of Canada and the US. During the whaling days of the 19th century, the right whale got its name because whalers considered it the “right” whale to kill, as it because was full of valuable whale oil, but it floated after it was dead, which made it easy to handle and process.It was driven to near extinction. Although the right whale is now protected, its small remnant population continues to suffer losses due to entanglements in commercial fishing gear: Whales drown after becoming wrapped in nets, lines and other equipment.We need your help to save this species.

The Northern Right Whale

The ivory-billed woodpecker, which lives—or lived—in the Southeastern part of the US as well as Cuba. This huge woodpecker was considered extinct until 2004, when a handful of tantalizing reports of sightings in Arkansas and Florida began to trickle in. Proof for the ivory-bill’s continued existence has remained elusive, and if a population does exist, it is likely to be tiny and extremely vulnerable. The ivory-billed woodpecker owes its near- or complete extinction to habitat loss (logging) as well as over-exploitation by humans, who hunted it for its feathers.

                                         These are all the states that these birds live in.

   Cougars are very misunderstood animals.Very few people know a lot about them or have an interest in them. After they kill their food they have to hide it from wolves and risk starvation.Cougars live in the  cold,snowy mountains like the Grand Tetons. The average wild cougar only lives up to 12 years. A cougar can cover 15 miles a night.Cougars cover their kills with snow to keep it fresh.     

                                     THE LITTLE DODO BIRD

 


The little dodo is just 12 inches long. It`s a  relative of the famous “big” dodo bird, which lived on the Island of Mauritius until it was hunted to extinction some 400 years ago. Unfortunately, extinction threatens the little dodo as well: 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 Siberian tiger is the largest big cat in the world, weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds). The Siberian tiger lives in the birch forests of Russia’s frigid and snowy Far East, and formerly inhabited the colder regions of China and Korea. Due to relentless hunting, Russia’s tiger population had dropped to around 40 individuals by the 1930′s.It is still threatened by illegal hunting and habitat loss in the form of logging and development.

Endangered Animals of the World!

The Amur Leopards
The Amur Leopards only live in remote and snowy northern forest of eastern Russian` s pirmorye. There are only 14-20 adults and 5-6 cubs. Threats facing the species include habitat loss due to logging, road building and encroaching civilization, poaching (illegal hunting) and global climate change.

 THE NORTHERN SPORTIVE LEMUR

This is the Northern Sportive lemur there are less than 20 in the world. They are endangered because of illegal hunting. They live in Madagascar. They weigh less than two pounds. They need your help you can help by protesting against deforestation. 


The Hawaiian  Monk Seal

There are less than 1,000 Hawaiian monk seals left in the world. Scientists are unsure of the causes, but suspect that changes in ocean conditions and competition from commercial fishermen may be reducing the numbers of fish they depend on for food. They also face threats from entanglements in fishing nets and discarded fishing gear and can catch diseases from dogs and other domestic animals.
