The species that are in danger of going extinct are called endangered animals. They have low reproductive rates and high mortality rates over long periods of time, that’s why their numbers are diminishing and they are vanishing from the world. The reasons behind their elimination are varied, very often involves a loss of habitat as people are encroaching towards their living areas or threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters.

It is not a death sentence that the species who are in the hitlist of extinction are in danger. Many species, like the bald eagle and the American alligator, were on the brink of extinction and are now recovering. However, many species can’t recover, and could be lost forever.

In the whole extent of time, animal species have been going extinct before people work out a strategy to save the endangered species. It is estimated that well over 90 percent of all plant and animal species that ever existed on the planet earth now have gone extinct.

Many countries have passed laws to protect endangered species: for example, forbidding hunting, restricting land development or creating preserves.
Only a few of the endangered species like Pandas at risk of extinction obtained legal protection. many other species become extinct, or potentially have a threat that they will become extinc. Without gaining the attention of public and law enforcement agencies of the states, many other species become extinct, or potentially have a threat that they will become extinct.

If we do not act quickly to conserve the endangered species, many more species will disappear from the earth.  Here are some endangered animal species of the world.
