Ten very rare animals on Earth!

The world's species are declining due to human and natural factors, and many species are becoming very precious when they are on the verge of extinction. Do you know which animals are the rarest and most precious in the world? This article lists ten of the rarest animals in the world. Let's see

Top ten rarest animals in the world

The spotted turtle, also known as the S. pallidus, is a national-level protected animal in China. It is rare and extremely valuable. It is one of the most endangered species of turtle. Only three spotted turtles are known to survive in the world, one in Suzhou Zoo, one in Thong Mo Lake, and one in Xuan Han Lake in Vietnam. Distributed in Asia, China is found in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and around Taihu Lake. on 13 April 2019 at 13:20, the only female spotted turtle in China died during artificial insemination at the Suzhou Zoo.

Harbor porpoises, Pacific dolphins, small-headed dolphins, and Gulf of California dolphins are also known as harbor porpoises. They are the smallest of the cetaceans and are endemic to the northern Gulf of California, Mexico. The Gulf of California dolphin is the most endangered cetacean in the world and is known as the "marine panda". It has been listed as critically endangered since 1996, and as of March 2018, there were only 12 dolphins. The narrow habitat and vulnerability to capture in fishing nets are the main reasons for its danger.

The Javan rhinoceros is arguably the rarest animal in the world. It is a critically endangered species, with only 35 species left in the world. Two of the three subspecies are extinct. To date, the habits of the Javan rhinoceros are not well understood by humans. One reason is that the number of Javan rhinos is very small. Another reason is that even if rhinos live in protected areas, they still choose to live alone in places where few people go. The Javan rhinoceros was initially very widespread, going far beyond Java and being found in most countries in China and Southeast Asia. However, due to ongoing human destruction, the Indonesian island of Java has become the only surviving site today.

The Far Eastern leopard, also known as the Northeast leopard, was once widely distributed in the forests of the Russian Far East, Heilongjiang, Jilin, and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula in Northeast China. Currently, the Northeast leopard is a critically endangered big cat in the world. According to the latest international statistics, its population has never exceeded 100 and is distributed only in China and Russia, where its endangerment has attracted global attention. Habitat destruction, poaching, and large numbers of herbivores are the main reasons for the extinction of the leopard.

The owl parrot is a nocturnal parrot with yellow-green polka dots all over its body. It is endemic to New Zealand and is the only flightless parrot in the world. Due to the increasing human activity in New Zealand, the number of individual kakapo birds has started to decline significantly. As of 2012, the kakapo population stood at 126 birds, including 78 farmed adults, which is extremely rare. The kakapo is never afraid of strangers. When it is frightening, it usually stays still and sometimes climbs into a tree in time. However, because it cannot fly, it likes to try to fly down from the trees, which directly leads to casualties.

The white lion is a species of Kruger lion native to Africa. The white lion was first discovered in South Africa in the last century. As of 2009, there were only about 130 white lions in the world. Some scientists suggest that the white lion may be an ancient species that lived in the Arctic and other cold regions. Through biological evolution, this species gradually disappeared, but the white coat color gene is still present in a few yellow African lions. Thus, the parents of the white lion cubs originally found in South Africa were common African yellow lions. Later, they were bred and bred in captivity to form the current family of white lions.

The Yangtze crocodile is a unique Chinese crocodile and one of the smallest crocodile species in the world. It is not only ancient but also a rare reptile in the world. It is estimated that there are only 130-150 Yangtze crocodiles in the wild and they are decreasing at a rate of 4-6% per year. China has classified the crocodile as a national-level protected animal, and hunting is strictly prohibited. To keep this rare animal race alive, China has also established nature reserves and artificial farms for Yangtze crocodiles in Anhui and Zhejiang.

The red wolf is a kind of canine living in North America. Its fur is thick and short, and the color of its upper body is mainly cinnamon red and fawn. Although the red wolf is also a wolf, its population is extremely rare. The red wolf has been extinct in the wild since 1980. Today, red wolves that live in the wild are released in captivity. As of 2020, the number of red wolves in the wild has dropped to about 35, and there are more than 100 species of red wolves in captivity. Before becoming an endangered species, red wolves were widely distributed in the forests and swamps of the eastern United States.

The Sumatran rhinoceros is the only extant species in the genus Rhinoceros and is the smallest rhinoceros. It is listed as extremely dangerous (CR) on the World Conservation Union Red List. The Sumatran rhinoceros is found only in the Malay Peninsula but is scattered throughout Sumatra and Borneo, living in rainforests, swamps, and cloud forests. Due to overhunting by humans and habitat destruction, the species has become critically endangered, with only 200 individuals remaining in the world.

The Siberian Tiger is what we call the Siberian Tiger and is one of the rarest animals in the world. Northeast tigers are found in northeast Asia, namely Siberia, Russia, Korea and northeast China. Their population has declined dramatically due to habitat destruction and poaching. In the past century, the tiger population has declined by 95%. As a result, the world's largest cat is now in danger of extinction. As of early 2020, statistics show that there are only 500 Siberian tigers left in the world.
