When we hear, "Wildlife", we think of a grassy field with deer, or an open plain with elephants, giraffes, and zebras, maybe a frozen, snowy mountain terrain with a bunch of moose or elk. This is what would spring to mind for most people as soon as they hear the term "wildlife", but have we ever pictured our own back yard? In cities there are at least some animals such as squirrels, rabbits, and birds. Nature has always helped in flourishing the mankind. But this isn't about what nature gives to you, it’s what we, as a human being give back in return. Are we concerned about nature? Does saving the endangered species and taking necessary actions for those who are on the brink of extinction means something to us? Then join hands with the wildlife organizations to save mother Earth!
There are many other ways that humans and the wildlife are connected other than just the earth that we share. Every house and building we humans build has a significant impact on every animal that lives in the surrounding vicinity of about 10 or I5 miles. The reason for this is that when you destroy one animal's home, all the animals that prey on this animal may go hungry for a day because this animal will either move away to find a new home, or it will die because it doesn't have shelter. This article is about three endangered species.
The giant panda is the rarest member of the bear family. It is the world’s most threatened animals. Today, the giant panda's future remains uncertain. As China's economy continues rapidly developing, this bamboo-eating member of the bear family faces a number of threats. Its forest habitat, in the mountainous areas of southwest China, is increasingly fragmented by roads and railroads.
Red Panda, also called lesser panda or bear cat, a reddish-brown mammal, similar in size to a large domestic cat, with thick fur and a long tail. Discovered 48 years before the giant panda, the Chinese name for the red panda literally translates as “fire fox.” Red pandas inhabit cool temperate bamboo forests in Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces in China, in the Himalayas and Myanmar. Sharing bamboo forests with giant pandas in parts of their range, red pandas are suffering from the same effects of habitat destruction, with a 40-percent population decrease in China during the last 50 years.
Okapi or forest giraffe, a member of the giraffe family found in the inaccessible rain forests of northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and western Uganda. The okapi lives a secluded life and it was not discovered until 1900. It is considered rare, but too little information exists about the okapi to classify it as threatened or endangered. The okapi has a long, flexible blue-black tongue that it uses to rip leaves from branches. It has large, dark eyes and large, wide ears. The short, soft hair is reddish brown to black with large, white stripes on the front legs and flanks.
