A whole new day to talk about animals in Asia!
After research and study I found endangered animals in asia are really cute , so I cannot help to put more photos of them into the blog! Get involved with animals protection !! They are such cute guys we have to do something to help them!
With
over 15,000 animals currently facing extinction worldwide, the list of
endangered animals in Asia is big. Between habitat loss because of human
population growth and pollution, the outlook for many of these endangered
animals is grim.
Asian Elephant
The Asian elephant is found in South Central and Southeast Asia. Although it is commonly called the Indian Elephant, it is also found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Indonesia, Kampuchea, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. Although the Asian Elephant is bred in captivity, only 35,000 are currently left in the wild.
Agile
Gibbon
The agile gibbon is found in Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. Rarely coming to the ground, they spend their time high in the canopy of tropical rainforests and live in family groups. Agile gibbons are monogamous and mate for life. Deforestation due to logging has reduced the numbers of agile gibbons in the wild dramatically.
Asian Tiger
There are
nine sub-species of Asian tiger: the Bengal, Indochinese, Corbett's, Malayan,
Sumatran, Mancurian or Siberian, and the South China. All are in decline,
primarily due to poaching. Some, such as the South China tiger, are thought to
be extinct. Tigers have been found in both temperate and tropical areas of
Asia.Bornean Orangutan
The
Bornean orangutan is only found in the rainforests of Borneo. One of two Asian
ape species, they spend much of their time in trees. Deforestation due to
logging and mining along with poaching are the primary reason that the number of
Bornean orangutans has dropped below 50,000.Clouded Leopard
The clouded leopard was found in Southeast and South Central Asia as well as on the island of Taiwan. Although not related to leapords, this spotted cat can grow to 45 pounds and three-feet long. It has the longest, sharpest teeth of all cats. Estimates put the wild population at 230, with 100 being kept in captivity.
