    The document discusses several endangered animal species including giant pandas, tigers, whooping cranes, blue whales, Asian elephants, sea otters, snow leopards, gorillas, Tasmanian devils, and orangutans. Many of these species have had their habitats diminished by human activities such as agriculture, logging, and encroachment. Poaching for trophies and traditional medicine have also posed major threats. Several species like blue whales, sea otters, and Tasmanian devils were nearly wiped out by overhunting but populations have since stabilized or increased due to protections. However, many species still have small and fragmented populations that remain vulnerable to threats.

    1.

    GIANT PANDA (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

    Everyone loves a panda…they might be the kitschiest animal humanity has driven to the
    brink of extinction yet. Though their “aww factor” may verge on the cloying, it hasn’t been
    without effect. China, which is home to the remaining wild population of fewer than 2,500
    individuals, has since the late 1980s instituted more stringent habitat protections and
    poaching has all but ceased. Their status is still tenuous, though. Their range is fragmented
    and they are still subject to disease, occasional predation, and starvation when large swathes
    of the bamboo on which they feed completes its life cycle and dies.

    2. TIGER
    Slash-and-burn agriculture, along with logging, and human encroachment, have hugely
    diminished the habitat available to these felines. Poaching—for trophies and body parts used
    in Asian “medicine” —is thought to pose the greatest threat to tigers.

    3.WHOOPING CRANE (Grus americana)


    4.BLUE WHALE (Balaenoptera musculus)
    There are fewer than 25,000 blue whales, the largest animals on the planet. Commercial
    hunting of the species was ultimately banned in 1966.
    5.ASIAN ELEPHANT (Elephas maximus)
    There are around 40,000–50,000 species. And that number is far lower;
    6.SEA OTTER (Enhydra lutris)
    A target of the commercial fur trade, the species was almost wiped out, with only some
    2,000 of an estimated 300,000 left by 1911.

    7. SNOW LEOPARD (Panthera uncia)


    8. GORILLA (Gorilla beringei andGorilla gorilla)
    There are either two species of gorilla, the eastern (Gorilla beringei) and western (Gorilla
    gorilla), There are probably only around 220,000 left in the wild.
    9.TASMANIAN DEVIL (Sarcophilus harrisii)
    Between 1996 and 2008, the population of Tasmanian devils dropped some 60% due a
    contagious cancer known as Devil Facial Tumour Disease.
    10. ORANGUTAN (Pongo pygmaeus)
