Rare animals in the world

Ten endangered animals 1. Simple national treasure: Giant panda Giant panda is a carnivore who mainly eats bamboo. It is not only rare, endangered and special, but also very old, and is known as a "living fossil". At the same time, ancient animals such as saber-toothed tiger, mammoth and giant tapir were extinct due to glacier invasion, but the giant panda survived by retreating into the valley. Now it is only distributed in the green hills and bamboo forests of about 40 counties in China, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, and lives in seclusion. 2. Blue face and upturned nose: China golden monkey includes Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, among which Sichuan golden monkey is the most familiar. Sichuan golden monkey, distributed in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hubei and Gansu, lives in mountainous areas and lives in groups. Wearing a golden cloak, climbing trees, jumping and prancing. When the golden monkey was first named, because of its upturned nose and golden hair, Mr. Edward, a zoologist, thought of Roqueana, the wife of the European Crusader Commander, so he named the golden monkey Rhinpitheus Roxellanae based on this beauty. 3. Strange beasts of the Yangtze River: Baiji dolphin is a unique aquatic animal in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. There are more than 70 species of dolphins in the world, and only 5 species of freshwater whales. China is the only freshwater whale with a narrow distribution, which is older and rarer than the giant panda. Baiji dolphin has a graceful figure, smooth skin, a sword-like kiss and a spindle shape. Eyes as small as beans, ears as small as needles, there are more than 130 small teeth in the upper and lower jaws, and there is a round nostril in the upper left of the head. Although its audio-visual ability is not good, its sonar system can get in touch with its companions more than ten kilometers away through ultrasonic echo positioning. 4. Soul of China: South China Tiger, called "Chinese Tiger" in English, is a subspecies unique to China. It was originally the most widely distributed and numerous tiger species in China, but it is the oldest tiger species. There is only one kind of tiger in the world, both of which are produced in Asia. In the last century, there were eight subspecies of Bengal tiger, Northeast tiger, Java tiger, South China tiger, Lihai tiger, Bali tiger and Sumatra tiger, but the last three subspecies became extinct one after another. China's Xinjiang tiger (which subspecies is unknown) became extinct in the early 20th century. 5. Pearl of the Orient: If Zhu wants to ask what is the rarest bird in China, he should be among the best. This beautiful wading bird was praised by zoologists as the "Oriental Pearl" and was once considered extinct. They were originally endemic to East Asia and only distributed in China, Korea, Japan and Russia, but all of them disappeared after 1960s. Did Zhu really disappear? In the late 1970s, ornithologists in China began to look for crested ibis. 198 1 year, two nests of ***7 crested ibis were finally discovered in Yaojiagou, Yangxian County, Shaanxi Province, which caused a sensation in the world. 6. It can be called the national bird: Brown eared pheasant is a rare bird, which is produced in Pangquangou, Shanxi, China, Xiaowutai Mountain, Hebei and Mentougou, Beijing. Because its ears are composed of two white ear feathers, it looks like a long horn, or some people call it a horn chicken or an ear chicken. The tail feather hangs down like a ponytail, hence the name horse. There are four species of Equus, all of which are produced in China, namely kurama, White Horse, Blue Horse and Brown Horse. Many zoologists suggest that brown eared pheasant should be regarded as the national bird of China. At present, brown-eared pheasant is an "endangered" species in IUCN Red Book, which is a national first-class protected animal. 7. Heritage species: Chinese alligator Chinese alligator is the only crocodile species in China. There are 25 kinds of crocodiles in the world, and China only has bay crocodiles and Chinese alligators. However, as the largest crocodile (10 meter long), the Gulf crocodile became extinct hundreds of years ago. The Chinese alligator is unique to China and the only surviving species distributed in temperate zones from ancient north. 8. Plateau God Bird: The black-necked crane is the only plateau crane in the world. It is a sacred bird in the eyes of the Tibetan people, and it is also the latest recorded one of the fifteen kinds of cranes in the world. On 1876, it was discovered in Qinghai Lake, China by Russian explorer Puge Varski. Black-necked cranes breed in Tibet in summer, migrate to Yunnan and Guizhou in winter, and a few fly over the Himalayas to Bhutan for the winter. 9. Snow wyndell dichinson: Tibetan antelope has attracted worldwide attention in recent years. The main reason is that the consumption demand of "Tibetan antelope cashmere shawl" or "shahtoosh" in western fashion circles since 1980 has stimulated poachers to kill for money. In addition, some gold miners are also killing on a large scale, resulting in a decrease of nearly 10,000 Tibetan antelopes living in extremely cold areas, reaching the limit of their lives. In order to crack down on poaching, the forestry police, the anti-poaching force in Qinghai, Xinjiang and Tibet, have been fighting for the protection of wild animals such as Tibetan antelope in recent years, among which the "Wild Yak Team" is the best, and two of them have dedicated their lives to it. 10. Recovered: Siweixiang is not a common name for elk, but a wetland deer endemic to China, which became extinct in China in 1900. Fortunately, there are a few in Europe, and after a century of protection, the population has been restored. Elk is a wetland animal. Due to the adaptation to the wetland habitat, a special form has been formed, that is, the so-called "four unlike", with horns like deer instead of deer, face like horse instead of horse, hoof like cow and tail like donkey. Elk is a national first-class protected animal, and IUCN Red Book of IUCN is extremely dangerous.
