~Sumatran Tiger~ Once living freely in the beautiful forests of Asia, the Sumatran tiger is at risk of being extinct due to their habitat being destroyed by chainsaws and bulldozers. Unfortunately only five thousand tigers left in the world. However, there has been increased tigers population from the last 10 years. Fortunately, there has been a law that bans tiger hunters everywhere. We must do everything we possibly can to help these gorgeous animals.

 ~Polar Bear~ Polar Bears are officially found in the Arctic Region, often covering hundreds of miles within their range. They have white fur which can camouflage them with the snow, in which they live in. These polar bears are endangered due to poaches after their priceless tendons, hide, meat, fat, flesh and coat. Their number started off from a few hundred thousand to now only a few hundred in year’s time.

  ~Giant Panda~ An estimated seven-hundred Giant Panda’s are remaining in the world today. These animals are endangered due to lost of habitat, and now only a few remain in forests and a collection of bamboo trees in Central China. Giant Panda’s main food source is Bamboo. They chew on this for about 12 hours a day and for the remaining hours of the day they sleep. They averagely live up to 15 years of age and when they give birth, only one baby panda is born.

 ~White Rhinoceros ~ Mainly hunted for their horns, the White Rhino is in danger of becoming extinct in the wild. The White Rhino can approximately live up to 50 years of age and weight up to two tons. They have a very accurate sense of smell, and this can help the mother to identify her children. The smell is very useful as well to recognise the place of others Rhino’s. The female White Rhino has a pregnancy period of up to fifteen to sixteen months, but only one calf is to be born.
