What are endangered animals?

Endangered animals are animals that are threatened with extinction and species are dying of underpopultion.

Some of the main reasons a lot of species are becoming endangered and on the edge of extinction are:pollution,habitat destruction,hunting and poaching,disease and predators.
Ways man are helping:we have zoos,rehabilittion centres,conservation centres and also SPCA that are all helping to give animals new homes and to start breeding them.


We can also help by looking after their enviroments and not interfering,recycling all of our rubbish so that the habitats are not polluted and we can also join help organisations to fund for the species.Out of all the animals living on earth today there is known to be more than 40% endangered.


Here are some endangered species verging on extinction,tiger,giant panda,black rhino,komodo dragon,orangutan,gorilla and snow leopard.
Without our help we cannot save any of these species from extinction.
Eventually when all these animals are extinct then the whole food chain will not work and a lot of other species will die out.
