on animal.. Here are the top five(5) endangered species:

  1. Tiger: probably fewer as 4000 tigers (Panthera tigris) are left in the wild. Continuous deforestation, revenge killings and poaching for trophies and some body parts that is used in producing some asian medicines has drastically reduced the population of tigers.They may go extinct like the now extinct Javan and Balinese relatives in some regions Asia. Other factors that reduces the tiger population include climate Change,human encroachment.

  2. Penguine: The flightless birds are threatened by changes to sea ice which are being driving by climate change. Researchers have surmised that changes in ocean currents and temperatures could have been responsible for their movement far north of their dwelling(nesting) area in the southern region of Argentina. About twelve (12) species of penguins are experiencing a severe reduction in their population.
