The Panda Bear

• The Panda Bear is probably the most famous
  Endangered Animal. The Panda lives in six small
  areas located in China . In China they call the
  Panda "Xiongmao", which means Giant Cat Bear. The
  Panda was believed to have magical powers that
  could ward off natural disasters and evil
  spirits. They were even kept as pets by Chinese
  Emperors.
• Giant pandas bears have a massive head, heavy
  body, short tail, rounded ears and plantigrade
  feet.

The Panda is such a majestic creature. It is sad
to think that there may not be Pandas around to
much longer. Even sadder is the fact that we are
the cause. Until people relize that Pandas are
such great creatures and that they deserve home,
the Pandas will be in danger of exticntion

Snow Leapord

• The snow leopard is an endangered big cat that
  inhabits the rugged and mountainous terrain of
  Central Asia and the Himalayan region. It is
  currently threatened by hunting for the illegal
  wildlife trade and revenge killings by herders
  habitat loss and diminished food supply. A 2003
  study by TRAFFIC, WWF and the International Snow
  Leopard Trust found a dramatic decline of the big
  cats in many countries over the previous decade.
  It is estimated these threats are reducing the
  snow leopard population to numbers approaching
  those of the endangered tiger. The remaining
  animals live in only 12 countries in South and
  Central Asia.

The Blue Whale

• The blue whale is classified as a member of the
  order Cetacea (Whales) and is a member of the
  family Balaenopteridae. The male blue whale grows
  to about eighty-two feet long, and the female
  grows to about eighty-five feet long. It weighs
  up to 285,000 pounds as an adult. The blue whale
  is classified as an endangered species due to a
  reduction of at least 50 of the blue whale
  population over the last three generations based
  on direct observation, an index of abundance, and
  levels of exploitation. The blue whale is the
  largest mammal to have lived on the earth, but it
  feeds on some of the smallest marine organisms -
  plankton

Conclusion

• We live in an environment where we have to share
  our resources with each other and our animal
  friends. Lets be kind and thoughtful and
  remember that we are just as much a part of this
  world as animals are.
