The Bengal tiger makes the endangered list and the black rhino makes the critically endangered because of early hunter’s.

    If I was writing a report on an endangered species I would choose the sea turtle. The reason I would choose the sea turtle is because in our source “Turtles in Trouble” it gave us the story of a turtle named Adelita. This turtle traveled 6‚000 miles alone to Japan.

This article was reliable because scientist Jay

White tigers are neither albinos nor a special species. They differ from the normally colored tigers by having blue eyes

As international editor Richard Swift observed; “We are pushing a hundred species a day‚ four species an hour‚ into evolutionary oblivion”. Hunting and capturing animals has been practiced even before recorded history. Where this can be understandable to most in a survival perspective‚ there are people in this world who abuse this

    Endangered species are those that are approaching the inability to reproduce or maintain a sufficient steady state population.
