The world's most endangered animals

Welcome to The World's Most Endangered Animals website. Here you can find some information about the increasing number of all the endangered animals in the world.

The top reason for animals becoming endangered is the loss of the living space because human beings need more space to build homes for the increasing population.

Some endangered animals     The African elephant     The African elephant is the largest elephant of the three kinds of elephants. It lives in different places from hot deserts to high rainforests in Africa.     The giant panda     It looks very cute with black and white colour. Although scientists do not know why these special bears are black and white, some guess that the giant pandas' colour can help protect themselves in the wild. They have a very restricted (有限的) diet. Giant pandas can be as dangerous as any other bear.     The great white shark (大白鲨)     This kind of shark has been blamed (责备) because it attacks people more than any other shark does. But a research study shows that most human beings who are attacked by the great white shark are quickly set free at last.

What we should do     People should stop killing endangered animals, and join some organizations that aim to protect endangered animals and raise money for the organizations.
