Endangered animals(https://www.ducksters.com/animals/endangered_animals.php)

Endangered animals are animals that are in danger of becoming extinct.

This means that there will be no more of these animals alive on earth.

An animal is considered endangered or "threatened" when there are very few of them alive. Some animals are more threatened than others.

To keep track of how at risk of becoming extinct a species may be, scientists categorize the level of risk with a different name. From the most threatened animal to least threatened these names are:

1) critically endangered

2) endangered

3) vulnerable

There are also some animals that only exist in captivity (for example in a zoo). These animals are called "extinct in the wild".

What are some of the most endangered animals?

These are animals that are categorized as Critically Endangered.

Here is just a sampling from the list:

Black Rhinoceros - There are only a few black rhinos left. They mostly live in Western Africa. They are mostly threatened due to hunters killing them for their horns.

Red Wolf - The red wolf originally lived in the Southeastern United States. There are only a few hundred left, most of them living in captivity.

Others include the Siberian Tiger, Florida Panther, Mountain Gorilla, California Condor, and the Giant Ibis. Some "endangered" animals include the Sea Otter, Loggerhead Sea Turtle, Giant Panda, Blue Whale, Albatross, and the Snow Leopard. Some "vulnerable" animals include the Lion, Cheetah, Hippo, Dingo, Polar Bear, Humpback Whale, and the Macaroni and Royal Penguins.

Anna Frank 27th January -Holocaust

Quote of the Day

17Save

January 27th is Auschwitz Liberation Day and the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust.

In 1940, after Germany invaded the Netherlands, Anne and her family couldn't leave the country, so they decided to hide in a warehouse in an attempt to escape the persecution of Jews by the Nazis. For over two years, Anne wrote in her diary with an awareness that was extremely mature for her age. She detailed her experiences and insights while she and her family were in hiding, living in a constant fear of being arrested. The Diary of Anne Frank' is a record of her understanding of the war and showcases her incredible storytelling abilities in such horrific circumstances. In 1944, the Franks were found and sent to concentration camps. Anne died before she turned 16, and her father, Otto Frank, was the only family member to survive the Holocaust. After the War, Otto returned to Amsterdam, where he found his daughter's diary and then published i as The Diary of a Young Girl.
