Top 7 Most Endangered Animals - Page 2 of 9

The Tiger

The tiger is the biggest cat in the world. Unfortunately, the rate at which this endangered animal is declining calls for serious concern. Researchers have shown that there are less than 3,000 tigers in the entire world.This is due to their natural habitats decreasing by as much as 40% in the last 20-30 years.

Another extremely disturbing reason why tigers rank so highly on the endangered animals list is because people hunt them for their skin and other body parts. Tiger’s body parts are found in many Asian medicines. The skin is used in the making of leather bags and shoes. Additionally, climate change has been a big factor for their extinction in countries like Bangladesh and India.
