ENDANGERED
Endangered: Animals like the gazelle, Egyptian vulture, parakeet,
blunt-nosed leopard lizard, the Hawaiian finch, green sphinx moth,
sawfish, a few species of owls, frogs like the African reed frog, and the
Slender Loris are listed as endangered. The survival of these animals is
in extreme threat in the next ten years.

be conserved in the near future as vulnerable. This group includes the
white-headed vulture, the alligator lizard, the lemur, the shark ray,
the butterflyfish, the common hippopotamus, the giant gecko, and a
few crocodile species. These animals might soon be included in the
endangered or critically endangered categories if steps are not taken
immediately to protect them.
Near Threatened: Species that are not vulnerable, endangered, or
critically endangered but might fall into any of those categories soon
are classified as near threatened.
Least Concern: Species that are widely found in plentiful numbers are
classified under least concern.
Note: The conservation status provided in this book are not solely
based on the IUCN Red List. For some creatures, national and
