03 Two-color tamarin

The bi-colored tamarin generally refers to the black and white tamarind monkey (scientific name: Saguinus bicolor) is an endangered primate, the color is mainly black, white, brown tricolor, the tail is long, only the big toe has flat nails, the rest of the fingers and toes are claw-like pointed claws; the chest has 1 pair of nipples; the hind limbs are longer than the forelimbs; 32 teeth. It inhabits the upper canopy of tropical rainforests or savannahs and is rarely ground-based. Eats fruits, nuts and other plant foods, but also eats insects, spiders, frogs, small lizards and bird eggs. Sharp vision, followed by hearing and smell. During the day, 3 to 12 animals live in groups of 3 to 12 in the form of a family. Both parents feed the pups together. It is found in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest.

04 Central And Australian coarse-tailed rat

The Sino-Australian coarse-tailed rat, also known as the Sino-Australian white-tailed rat, is a kind of rat. They are found only in Australia. Their ground activity is mainly foraging. The feeding range is not large, mostly about 1-5 meters from the mouth of the cave, and rarely to 10 meters away. Act quickly, with only 10-20 seconds of time per feeding, bite off the stem of the plant, quickly drag it back into the hole, or place it near the mouth of the cave, and then immediately feed again. After 10-20 consecutive feedings, stay in the cave for a while. Winter does not hibernate, and after the habitat is covered with snow, it digs a crisscrossing "snow track" under the snow cover and moves in between, generally not on the snow surface.

05 Pacific Porpoise

The Pacific porpoise is 1.85 meters long and generally weighs between 50 and 60 kg, and is a smaller toothed whale. Feeds on fish. The sea near the main coast, about 20 meters of medium depth and relatively calm. Pacific porpoises are on the verge of extinction due to human hunting and environmental pollution. The main reason for their endangerment is human whaling and environmental pollution, and the biggest threat to porpoises since the 21st century comes from the environmental pollution of the ocean, especially heavy metals such as mercury, lead or cadmium, which accumulate in the muscles and livers of whales. Environmental toxicants that can be dissolved in oils, such as PCBs and DDT, accumulate in fat. Tar and oil layers cause skin necrosis, which, along with other poisons, further weaken porpoises, with the result that the number of sick and severely parasite-infested animals increases.

06 Darwin Fox

The Darwin fox has a head length of 53 cm, a tail length of 22 cm, a foot length of 10 cm, an ear length of 26 cm, and a weight of 2.8 kg. It is a very small fox, about the size of a domestic cat. This fox has short, rounded ears; shorter legs; slender bodies and short, thick tails. Prefers to live in secondary forests to adapt to typical areas of temperate rainforest plants. On Chiloe Island, the forest is Valdiviaian. It contains coniferous species, a few evergreen tree species, and banded fruit groves. The northern and eastern parts of the island are inhabited by humans, and agriculture has also had some influence on this geographical landscape. On the island's west coast, the Darwin fox makes the most of its fragmented evergreen forest habitat caused by sand dunes. Continental populations are found in dense forests of araucaria and five species of beech trees.

07 Elk

Elk, also known as "four unlikes", is a rare animal in the world and belongs to the deer family. Because its head is like a horse, its horns are like a deer, its hooves are like an ox, and its tail is like a donkey, it is named Four Different. Native to the swampy areas of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, it feeds on grasses and aquatic weeds. He is gregarious, good at swimming, and prefers to feed on young grasses and aquatic plants. Courtship estrus begins at the end of June and lasts about 6 weeks. It was once widely distributed in East Asia. Later, due to natural climate change and human factors, it was nearly extinct in the last years of the Han Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, in order to provide for hunting, the remaining elk were captured and transported to the royal hunting court to be raised. By the 19th century, only a group of people remained in the Nanhaizi Royal Hunting Garden in Beijing. Shortly after its discovery in the West, it was captured by the Eight-Power Coalition and disappeared from China ever since. It was not until 1898 that it was purchased by the British and bred to 255 heads, and some individuals were returned to China in 1983. More elk have since returned home, and some have been released into the wild.

08 Bow horned antelope

The bowhorn antelope, also known as the Chinese diagonal antelope, does not drink water almost all its life, and the water is obtained from the feeding plants. It inhabits semi-desert areas, where it travels thousands of miles to forage for food due to the lack of desert vegetation; although the habitat environment is very difficult, the body is still very healthy. Most of them move in groups of 5 to 20, led by older male antelopes. Antelope in the desert, with its fan-shaped hooves, is very suitable for walking on the sand and does not fall into the sand. The Chinese diagonal antelope is a critically endangered wild animal unique to China that exists only in the Qinghai Lake area. It is named after the fact that the male has a hard black horn that curves in opposite directions. The diagonal antelope (Przewalski's gazelle) is the most endangered antelope in the world.

Translation:

The last issue of the editor introduced you to 10 endangered animals in the world, and today I will introduce you to several endangered animals in the world. If you are interested, just read it!

1. White-breasted flying fox

The white-breasted flying fox, also known as the Luke flying fox, Kashima flying fox, is a species of the flying fox family, mainly distributed in the Federated States of Micronesia. It was listed as a critically endangered species in the IUCN Red List in 1996, and hunting for it was banned after 1989, and the number gradually stabilized.

2. Golden Bamboo Taming Lemur

The golden bamboo tamer lemur (scientific name: Hapalemur aureus) is a small lemur with a head and tail length of 52-85 cm, a head and body length of 28-45 cm, and a weight of 1-1.5 kg, only the size of a kitten.

The fur on the back is light orange, with gray to brown needle hair, and the lower body is yellow. The cheeks are black with a short muzzle, the eyebrows, cheeks and throat are golden yellow, and the hairy short ears. Males and females usually have similar appearance, but female upper body tends to be slightly grayer. Mainly inhabits in Madagascar's humid tropical rainforest and bamboo forest.

3. Two-color tamarin

The bicolor tamarin generally refers to the black and white tamarin (scientific name: Saguinus bicolor) is an endangered primate. The color is mainly black, white, and brown. The tail is long, only the big toe has flat nails, and the rest of the fingers and toes. All are claw-like pointed claws; there are a pair of nipples on the chest; hind limbs are longer than forelimbs; 32 teeth.

It lives in the upper layer of the canopy of tropical rainforests or tropical forests and grasslands and rarely moves on the ground. Eat fruits, nuts and other plant foods, as well as insects, spiders, frogs, small lizards and bird eggs. He has sharp vision, followed by hearing and smell. Active during the day, living in groups of 3 to 12 in the form of a family.

Both parents nurture their cubs together. Distributed in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil.

4. China-Australia Couch

The Chinese-Australian rat, also known as the Chinese-Australian white-tailed rat, is a kind of rat. They are only distributed in Australia. Their ground activities are mainly foraging. The feeding range is not large, mostly about 1-5 meters from the entrance of the cave, and rarely 10 meters away. The action is fast, and each feeding time is only 10-20 seconds.

The plant stems are snapped off, quickly dragged back into the hole, or placed near the hole, and then eat again immediately. After 10-20 consecutive feedings, he stayed in the cave for a while.

There is no hibernation in winter. After the habitat is covered with snow, the criss-crossing "snow trails" are dug under the snow cover, and activities are carried out in the meantime, generally not coming from the snow.

5. Pacific porpoise

The Pacific porpoise is 1.85 meters long and generally weighs between 50 and 60 kilograms. It is a smaller toothed whale. Feed on fish. Near the main coast, about 20 meters of medium depth and relatively calm sea. Due to human hunting and environmental pollution, the Pacific porpoise is on the verge of extinction.

The main reasons for their endangerment are human whaling activities and environmental pollution.

Since the 21st century, the biggest threat to porpoises comes from marine environmental pollution. In particular, heavy metals such as mercury, lead or cadmium will accumulate in the muscles and liver of whales. Environmental toxicants such as PCBs and DDT that are soluble in oil will accumulate in fat.

Tar and oil layers can cause skin necrosis. Together with other poisons, they further weaken the porpoise. The result is an increase in the number of sick and heavily parasite-infested animals.

6. Darwin Fox

Darwin's fox has a head length of 53 cm, a tail length of 22 cm, a foot length of 10 cm, an ear length of 26 cm, and a weight of 2.8 kg. It is a very small fox, about the size of a domestic cat. The ears of this fox are short and round; the legs are relatively short; it is characterized by a slender body and a short, bushy tail.

Like to live in secondary forests to adapt to typical areas of temperate rain forest plants. On Chiloe Island, the forest is Baldivian style. It contains coniferous species, a few evergreen species and banded fruit forests. The northern and eastern parts of the island are inhabited by humans, and agriculture has also had some influence on this geographical landscape.

On the west coast of the island, the Darwin Fox takes full advantage of the fragmented evergreen forest habitat caused by sand dunes. The continental population is found in dense forests of araucaria and five types of beech trees.

7. Each

Elk, also known as "Four Unsimilars", is a rare animal in the world and belongs to the deer family.

Because its face resembles a horse, its horns resemble a deer, its hooves resemble an ox, and its tail resembles a donkey, it gets its name from four different.

​Courtship heat begins at the end of June and lasts about 6 weeks. It was once widely distributed in East Asia. Later, due to natural climate changes and human factors, it was almost extinct at the end of the Han Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, the remaining elk were captured and transported to the Royal Hunting Garden for safari hunting. By the 19th century, only one group remained in the Royal Hunting Garden in Nanhaizi, Beijing.

It was captured by the Eight-Power Allied Forces shortly after being discovered in the West and has since disappeared in China. It was bought by the British in 1898 and bred to 255, and some individuals were sent back to China in 1983. Later, more elk returned to their hometowns and some were released into the wild.
