Draw Endangered Animals

Endangered animals are the animals, which are on the verge of extinction. The specie, which is on the verge of extinction, is called as endangered specie. Simple meaning of the word endangered is that very few numbers of animals of that specie are alive. There are many possible reasons for extinction of specie. Some of them are natural and some of them are man caused. There are two main aspects of ecology, Speciation and Extinction. In simple words, Speciation is the pure scientific term for evolution of a new specie i.e. evolution of a new individual specie from its parent specie. On the other hand extinction refers to the end of that biological specie i.e. death of last individual of that specie. Speciation and Extinction are natural phenomenon. These are on going process.

Scientists have found out that there have been 5 extinction events until now. Some of them were so serious that almost ninety percent of the life was destroyed in those extinction events. The last and most famous extinction event occurred around 63 million years ago which wiped off all the dinosaurs completely from the face of the Earth. This incident gave opportunity for the rise of mammals.

 

Causes of animals being Endangered Animals:

There are many reasons for endangerment of animals. As mentioned above some are natural some are unnatural i.e. reason for which man is responsible. There are many reasons for particular specie being endangered. Although these factors can be grouped and then analyzed, there are many causes that have been found to appear repeatedly. Below are several factors leading towards endangerment:

  • Hunting: This is one of the main reasons as to why many animals of different species have become Endangered animals. Excessive hunting of animals have pushed those animals to be endangered. In the early days man used to do hunting of animals mainly for food and sometimes rarely to protect themselves from them. But now days animals are being killed mainly for economic gains which is very cruel and anti natural. This is also disturbing natural food cycle as well as the ecological balance.
  • Destroying their natural habitat: Rapid habitat loss is the primary cause of species endangerment. Our planet is continually changing which is causing habitats to be altered and/or modified. Natural changes usually tend to occur at a gradual and slow pace, which cause only a slight impact on individual species. However, when changes occur at a fast pace, there is very little or practically speaking no time for individual species to react and then adjust themselves to new circumstances. This can create disastrous results.

 

  • Deforestation: Excessive woodcutting has given a rise to the problem called as deforestation. The deforestation results into destroying the food options and/or availability of food. This is one of major reasons.

 

  • Introduction of non native animals: Introduction of non native animals like rats, pigs, mongoose dogs, insects etc is also one of the reasons. These non-native animals many times are the reason of infection to the animals living in that geographical area. As those animals are not adapted to situation like this, they start dying. These infections results in endangered animals situation.

Why to Save Endangered Animals?

  • Plants and animals hold agricultural, medicinal, commercial, ecological and aesthetic values.
  • Once lost these species can not be gained back.
  • Most importantly, flow of the food cycle must be kept in smooth. If that does not happen, then it will be surely and directly hazardous to human specie. Because of which one day human specie may be endangered.

Endangered species must be protected and saved for the future generations to come so that they also can experience their presence and value.

Description

Many books have been written about animals, and very good books too, giving a great deal of information. Most of them are called works of Natural History; and they usually give some description of the birds and beasts, fishes and insects, that are known to man. I am not going to write such a book as that; but to say a little about different kinds of creatures that we are all in the habit of seeing, and to tell you a few things of some which have belonged to me, or have come under my own observation; so that, at least, I can promise to write nothing but what I know to be true. I have not learned their characters and habits from books, but by watching them ever since I was a very young child; and many a happy hour I have spent in that delightful employment.

Description

Photographer Susan Middleton and David Liittschwager are in a race against the clock to capture powerful portraits of America's most threatened creatures. Join them on their unforgettable adventure that takes them from the California Sierra to the deep South, from the woods of North Carolina to the Pacific's shores. Along the way, they encounter a camera-shy Black-Footed ferret, capture the beauty of the golden trout, help release a pair of red wolves back to the wild, and watch from a front-row seat as a bald eagle chick is returned its cliffside nest. Their every picture tells a story...and makes a plea: DON'T SAY GOOD-BYE to America's natural treasures.

The folks at National Geographic, with the help of narrator James Woods, take us on a zigzag road trip across the U.S. in this 1997 documentary. We follow photographers Susan Middleton and David Liitschwager, who gave up their earlier pursuits (museum and fashion photography, respectively) to capture on film the rarest fauna and flora of the North American continent. A selection of these pictures was published in their book, Witness: Endangered Species of North America. This hour-long film takes us from a black-footed ferret breeding farm in Wyoming to Florida manatee pools to the Presidio in San Francisco where we see a plant that is so rare, only one exists and its exact location is a government secret. The portraiture is vibrant and truly stunning and the film is interspersed with interview clips of scientific luminaries such as Harvard's Edward O. Wilson. Despite a subject matter that is necessarily depressing, America's Endangered Species: Don't Say Good-Bye outlines a few recovery success stories and highlights the efforts of individuals throughout the U.S. who are determined to make sure that these species are around for future generations of National Geographic fans. --Douglas Dalrymple

Description

Amazing Animals Broadcast nationally on The Disney Channel, Amazing Animals has quickly won children's hearts around the nation. Featuring the lovable Henry the Lizard as the inquisitive object of the narrator's clever questions and insights, each is a riot of humor, live-action footage, animation and information. Children cannot help but have fun as they learn. #1 rated non-Disney program on The Disney Channel(tm) "Fun facts, folklore and animal behavior are rolled into one gorgeous-and entertaining-science lesson."-Publishers Weekly Disney Channel ratings increased 31% for the Amazing Animals broadcast time slot! Amazing Animals: Armored Animals reached #38 on Billboard's Video Retail Charts.

Seashore Animals feels like a second-rate show that didn't quite make the line-up when compared to many of the other fascinating top-notch videos in the Amazing Animals series. There are the usual pictures of animals doing the darndest things, from crabs burying themselves in the mud to turtle moms laying eggs in the sand, but the fast pace and plentiful information so prevalent in other videos in the series, such as Animal Journeys or Scary Animals is, unfortunately, missing. But it's hard to completely dislike any half-hour that features beautiful shots of pelicans, eerie footage of starfish traveling in rock pools, and pictures of dozens of too-cute baby ducks scurrying down to the sea. --Valerie J. Nelson
