Mexican Bobcat -- EN
Population Estimate: unknown Range: Canada, U.S., Mexico Primary Threats: Hunting, Habitat loss
The Mexican Bobcat is considered the most heavily hunted and traded cat worldwide.
Solitary and nocturnal
Very small, only about twice the size of a house cat.
The Imperial Woodpecker (Campephilus imperialis) is – or was – a member of the woodpecker family Picidae. If it is not extinct, it is the world’s largest woodpecker species at 56-60 cm (22-24 in) long. Due to its close relationship and similarity to the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, it is sometimes also called “Mexican Ivorybill” but this name is also used for the Pale-billed Woodpecker. The large and conspicuous bird has for long been known to the native inhabitants of Mexico and was called cuauhtotomomi in Nahuatl, uagam by the Tepehuán, and cumecócari by the Tarahumara…

Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat -- CR
Population Estimate: 115 Range: Australia, now exists only in a preserve Primary Threats: Competition with livestock, habitat loss, invasive plant species, shallow gene pool
Galapagos Penguin -- EN
Population Estimate: 1,ooo-4,ooo Range: Galapagos Islands, Ecuador Primary Threats: human disturbance, fishing accidents
small penguins.
adapted to heat; they release excess heat through their feet and swim to cool off from the sun.
Palawan Peacock Pheasant -- VU
Estimated Population: under 10,ooo Range: Palawan Island, Philippines Primary Threats: Habitat loss, hunting
although their population is on the decline, they breed well in captivity.
they are a protected species and some inhabit St Paul's Ntl. Park.
Tasmanian Devil -- EN
Population Estimate: 10,ooo- 25,ooo Range: Tasmania (Australia) Primary Threats: Devil's Facial Tumor Disease, shallow gene pool (low diversity), cannibalism
This devastating disease caused the species to decline from 150,ooo in the 90's to the present estimate. Cannibalism increases transmission.
In the past, the Devils were highly persecuted and killed on the basis of predation on domestic animals. They were considered "pests". At one time, 5,ooo were poisoned annually.
Introduced predators, such as dogs and foxes, as well as road-kill also contributes to decline.
Pere David's Deer -- EW
Population Estimate (CAPTIVITY): 2,ooo Natural Range: China Primary Threats: Hunting, habitat loss
Large reserves have caused population growth
In 1993, the world population was only 120
Mallee Emuwren -- EN
Population Estimate: 2-4,ooo Range: Australia Primary Threats: Drought and wildfires (related to climate change), severe fragmentation
Takes 3-4 years for a population to recover from a fire
Kirtland's Warbler -- NT
Population Estimate: 3,ooo Range: Bahamas, U.S., Canada, Bermuda Primary Threats: Competition from Cowhead birds, Habitat loss
Although habitat loss was a primary threat, recent conservation efforts have quadrupled the local population in Michigan.
Red Crested Tree Rat -- CR
Population Estimate: Unknown; sparse Range: Colombia Primary Threats: Habitat loss, climate change, industry (coffee)
Purchase Shade-grown, fair trade coffee!:http://www.urthcaffe.com/organic.html
Reef Manta Ray -- VU
Population: Unknown, decreasing Range: Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans Primary Threats: Over-fishing, trade, entanglement with boats
In 2009, the Manta genus was split into the Reef and Giant Manta Ray.
Wingspan of 7 m.
Green Eyed Bushfrog -- CR
Population: Unknown Range: India Primary Threats: Habitat destruction; industry (tea, eucalyptus)
All of the population is located in one small area.
G'day, Love love love this blog, thankyou for reppin' the cause and spreading the good word about our valuable species. We seem to have a common goal :). Anyway just wanted to leave you some good vibes!!
Haha, you're sweet, thanks! :) Definitely can always use some encouragment. It's really cool to see how a lot of people care about animals. More than I thought. So thank YOU for reading! :)
this is one of my new favorite blogs. keep up the amazing work!
That really means a lot! Thank you! It's great to know others care. :)
Przewalski's Horse -- EN
Population Estimate: 2,ooo Range: Mongolia Primary Threats: Habitat loss, hunting, climate change
Extinct in all of its natural range; extinct in the wild until it was reintroduced to Mongolia
When in contact with domestic horses, hybridization is a concern. They can produce fertile offspring.
They shed their mane and tail yearly.
European Mink -- CR
Population Estimate: 2o,ooo Range: France, Romania, Russia, Spain, Ukraine Primary Threats: Habitat Loss, loss of its natural diet (crayfish), hunting, and introduction of the American Mink.
Reduced 85% since the mid-1900s
The American Mink is much larger than the Euro Mink.
Average litter: 3-7 kits
Blue-Legged Mantella -- CR
Population Estimate: 1,ooo Range: Madagascar Primary Threats: Madagascar Sapphire Mining, Habitat Loss
Perhaps the most dangerous threat to all animals native to Madagascar is the sapphire mining industry in Madagascar; it's threatening the existence of of preserves. (See http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2005/aug/07/conservationandendangeredspecies.internationalnews)
