Endanger Scarlet Macaw

The Scarlet Macaw is a beautiful and colorful bird just like parrot. It is mainly found in the Mexico and southern Brazil. It is about 90 centimeters in length with bright red with blue and yellow wings, blue and red tail shows the unique feature of Scarlet Macaw. It has a white face with big, sickle-shaped beaks. Its feet are strong and can able to grasp the limbs of a tree very firmly. If we found the adult Macaw then we can see the tail is more than two feet long.Scarlet Macaws are famous for its ability in mimicking and imitating sounds made by the human voice as well as perform tricks. Both the male and females look alike. Abundant fruits and nuts are favorite food of it in the tropical forests which is its habitat. It cracks open the nuts by using its extremely powerful beak and uses its blunt tongue to extract the nut meat.To make a piece of fruit beak are uses to cut out. Even it eats insects and worms. Macaw do not have feathers on its face.  It usually travels in a large flock. It is easily live up to 30 years but if they are captive that number can grow up to 75 years. It builds its nest in holes in trees or in between rocks.

 Their eyes can let you know if they are old or young, if their eyes is black then they are young and if they have yellow eyes they are older. This bird has become endangered due to the its colorful feathers in fashion in earlier years. Demand has not diminished until now as the young are taken from their nests for pets by poachers. So due to these reason Scarlet Macaw's population is diminishing. Law has been made in most of the countries where the Scarlet Macaw can found.

Endanger Peregrine Falcon

Peregrine Falcons are birds just like an eagle which were once found every part of the world but now they are rare almost everywhere. They are strong and fast and fly to tremendous speeds. They can dive and clench their victims with their strong legs and nail and kill them on the. In the 18th and the 19th century, they are captured and trained to hunt weapons to kill small prey. Their nest in between rock edges high on cliffs and usually near water where prey are found. They takes smaller birds, ducks and fish on eating. They lay eggs one to four at a time.

The numbers of Peregrine Falcons have diminishing by the use of poisonous chemicals such as DDT found in their food chain. Their food, for example fish, consume poisonous substances in their food and these fish are contaminated. In turn, the fish are eaten by the falcons and the poisonous substances are passed down to the falcon's body. These chemicals affect their reproductive organs and cause the shells of their eggs to become thin and brittle. These eggs are easily broken when the parents sit on them and the eggs are destroyed. Peregrine Falcon's are endanger due to the destruction of their habitat by human activities. They are also hunted for sport. In efforts to increase their population, release them into areas where they have become extinct have been undertaken.

Endanger Takahe

The Takahe is a flightless bird found in New Zealand only . In 1800's it was thought to be extinct but was rediscovered 1948 on South Island in several remote valleys. The Tahake, is a unique bird which is a largest living member of the whole rail family. They are about 60 to 65 centimeter lenght and around 2-3 kg of weigh. It has a colorful combination of blue colors and copper-green with large red bill and we can see the red shield in the forehead of takahe. It feeds seeds from grasses. It nests on the ground and lays two eggs with black blotches. The young are black in colour with downy feathers. Takahes are endangered due to the destruction of habitat for agriculture and construction of buildings, roads, and dams. They are hunted by animals in the remote valleys of New zealand . The Takahe, being flightless and unable to fly away when danger appear they are quickly destroyed, just like the Dodo Bird.

  

Endanger Wild Asses

Equus asinus an African Wild Asses Equidae family are often referred to as the true asses and the domesticated. They are mainly found on the plains of Africa and travels in groups. The asses are small, short, sturdy animals of from three to five feet at shoulder height. They have smooth coat is a light grey to fawn colour, fading quickly to white on the undersides and legs. The ears are large with black margins. They are very swift runners and are able to inhabit acrid regions as they have become well adapted to suit the harsh deserts in which they live in. The asses are very territorial. There is a very strong fight between the females and the foals. The herds are formed when several asses come together casually. The tail terminated with a black brush. They are listed on  endangered because of the interbreeding between them and other species and cause the wild asses descendants to become fewer and soon vanish. Even due to the Illegal hunting and poaching for sport they are on endangered.

 General Characteristics

Endanger Ibex

Ibexes are wild goats and they are found on high mountain slopes, meadows and rocks of Europe, north eastern Africa and Asia. They live apart in small flocks most of the time but during mating season they will pair off. They are extremely agile, able to survive in cliffs and crags. Their forelegs are slighter shorter than hind legs with a height of 3 feet at the shoulder. Both male and female have sharp horns which curve backwards from the forehead. In the summer their fur change into ashy grey but in the winter, their fur will be yellowish brown. They are known up 40 feet length. They are herbivores and eat whatever they found in landscape as that should be green vegetation. Due to the excessive hunting by man for the purpose of game and spot Ibexes have become endangered. The Alpine Ibex has become very rare and now the are protected under the Italian government. They have been introduced to various parts of the world for suitable habitat to increase their numbers in the world and not to be extinct.

Endanger Quetzal

The Quetzal from trogan family is one of best species known in the world with colorful feather. It was a sacred bird of the ancient Mayas and the Aztecs. Its feathers were used in the clothing of their priests and royal family. Instead of killing them to acquire the feathers, the feathers were plucked from the bird. It was said a crime and get the punished by death to kill a Quetzal. Today, it is the national sign of Guatemala. The Quetzal is mainly found in South Mexico to Bolivia. They live in the hot lowland of the tropics but some are found in the mountains. They are about 50 inches in length. The tail is covered by extra long blue-green plumes. When it flies, we can shows white underneath in her tail. The head is a rounded hair-like crest and its breast is gold-green and the belly is red. Its back is blue with curly gold-tinged mantle. It makes the nests in holes in trees. Both the parents care more for their young than other birds. The Quetzal was hunted for its magnificent feathers. The hunting has not stop till today. The colourful feathers are used in the fashion trade and fetch very high prices. Due to this, poaching of these birds has greatly affected its population.

Endanger Musk Ox

 We can find  Musk Oxen mainly in Europe, northern Canada and Greenland. They have large heads, short necks and legs. Their weigh are extremely huge just in the size of a bull up to about 880 pounds. Both male and female have up to 2 feet horns. Their face is further covered by short hair. They have long shaggy brown hair that cover the whole body that reach nearly up to their feet and a short tail. They have a thick layer of wool which they shed during the summer season. This wool will be collected by the Eskimos to make a fine cloth, resembling cashmere. Musk Oxen travel in herds of 20 to 30. When attacked, the adults will face the outside and use their sharp horns as weapons against their enemy. Musk Oxen have become endangered due to the excessive hunting by man for food and sport. Their habitat also have been destroyed by human activities.

Endanger White rhinoceros

The scientists have described the White rhinoceros as a one of the largest Northern subspecies ever. In 1908 this subspecies was classified . Today, onward it is going to extinction in the wild, and few have ever been brought into captivity. In 1950 the first captive White rhinos were received at the Antwerp Zoo, Belgium. However, while they grew to maturity, these animals never bred. At the Vychodoc'eska Zoo at Dvur Kralove in Czechoslovakia they are bred. On 1967 June 8 the first southern white rhino that was ever born in captivity was born at Pretoria.

    The most successful breeding of the White rhino in captivity has occurred in the San Diego Wild Animal Park. In 1998 Seventy-five white Rhinos have been born in the San Diego. The white rhino is a bit larger than the black rhino and they have a larger head and body. Their weigh can be up to two tons and can alive up to fifty years. The horns of the rhino are the exact same substance as fingernails (keratin). The rhino is quite active and swift and can reach speeds of up to thirty m.p.h.

    With a very acute sense of smell, it plays a great role in their social life. Mothers can identify their children easily. Their sense of smell also helps identify the territory of others. The female rhinoceros has a gestation period of fifteen-sixteen months, and can born only only calf.

Endanger Lion

The lion (Panthera leo) is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia, with an endangered remnant population in Gir Forest National Park in india, having disappeared from North Africa and Southwest Asia in historic times. Until the late Peistocene, about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. 

Endanger Tiger

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest cat species, reaching a total body length of up to 3.3 metres (11 ft) and weighing up to 306 kg (670 lb). It is the third largest land carnivore (behind only the Polar bear and the Brown bear). Its most recognizable feature is a pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with lighter underside. It has exceptionally stout teeth, and the canines are the longest among living felids with a crown height of as much as 74.5 mm (2.93 in) or even 90 mm (3.5 in). In zoos, tigers have lived for 20 to 26 years, which also seems to be their longevity in the wild. They are territorial and generally solitary but soical animals, often requiring large contiguous areas of habitat that support their prey requirements. This, coupled with the fact that they are indigenous to some of the more densely populated places on Earth, has caused significant conflicts with humans.

Wild Animals

Habitat of wild animals

Wildlife are need for the all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, and other areas are need for the ecosystem. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that wildlife around the world is impacted by human activities. Many animals are in Endanger group due to the destruction of their animal's habitat.
