Answers
Answer:
Javan rhinoceros.
Once the most widespread of Asian rhinos, Javan rhinos are now listed as critically endangered. With only one known population in the wild, it is one of the world's rarest large mammals.
Vaquita.
The vaquita is considered the rarest endangered marine mammal in the world. Sadly, the future looks bleak for this small porpoise, with just 10 left in the wild.
Mountain gorillas.
Today, around 1,063 mountain gorillas are thought to exist in the wild, and the future is looking brighter for these rare primates.
Tigers.
At the beginning of the 20th century, there were 100,000 tigers in the world. Today, this number is estimated to have dwindled to around 3,900 in the wild.
Asian elephants.
Asian elephants have been considered an endangered species since 1986, as their population has decreased by at least 50% over the last 75 years or so. There are fewer than 50,000 remaining in the wild.
Orangutans.
Once widespread, the orangutan has been considered critically endangered since 2000, and is one of the world's most endangered primates. A century ago, more than 230,000 orangutans lived in our world, but their numbers have now dropped by around half.
Leatherback sea turtles.
In between 26,000 and 43,000 female sea turtles nest annually; a dramatic decline from the estimated 115,000 in 1980. Young turtles are incredibly vulnerable and sadly, very few make it to adulthood.
Snow leopards.
The wild snow leopard population is estimated to be between 4,080 to 6,590. They're found in 12 countries in Central Asia: China, Bhutan, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Mongolia.
Irrawaddy dolphins.
The irrawaddy dolphin is classed as endangered by the ICUN, and it's little wonder. Reports as of 2020 suggest there might be less than 100 left, making them an incredible sighting in the wild.
Atlantic bluefin tuna.
Bluefin tuna numbers have declined at a staggering rate over the last 40 years. Records show a 72% decrease in the eastern Atlantic and an 82% decrease in the west.
