for hosts these are the needles in
Earth’s haystack their classic target of
the young kilo find Antarctica the seed
money and storage the ties to fighting
sister Felicia who is welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 rarest
animals in the world for this list we’re
looking at animals that are extremely
hard to find in the wild for mostly
unfortunate reasons while some are rare
because of their geography the vast
majority have been pushed to near
extinction and thus have an atrophied
population for that reason we help much
of this list is void in the near future
one by one our planets animals are
disappearing number 10 the vaquita the
vaquita is a species of small porpoise
that resides in the Gulf of California
it’s considered the world’s most rare
marine mammal due to its tiny geographic
range and serious loss in population
from commercial fishing methods like
Gill netting in 1997 just over 500
vaquita zhh were thought to be left in
the world by 2014 that number was 100
and by 2016 there are estimated to be as
few as 60 with accidental netting
accounting for the annual 20 percent
drop in population
the Mexican government wants to make a
change ban these nets and find
alternatives
it’s estimated that within five years
time the intelligent and serene vaquita
will be completely extinct that is
unless a miracle conservation effort is
made you may share our intellect which
might explain
or all the natural wonders I draw
number nine the northern bald Ibis this
large long-billed bird once occupied a
giant slab of the Middle East inhabiting
dozens of countries on multiple
continents but that is far from the
current case the birds endured regional
extinction first in Europe then in
countries like Sudan Turkey Israel and
most recently Syria and now they’re
limited to one natural breeding
population in Morocco we still need more
precision on exact management
methodology of the areas that they feed
in more hunting disease and habitat loss
brought the population down to somewhere
near 200 to 250 but captive breeding has
since doubled that number reading and
reintroduction programs are giving the
birds of fighting chance and with luck
they could take back a small chunk of
their former range number eight the
pygmy three-toed sloth discovered on a
small Panamanian island in 2001 the
pygmy three-toed sloth has one of the
smallest habitat ranges of any mammal
the entire species lives in a 1.7 square
mile area of the island roosting
exclusively in the red mangrove trees
being the victim of insular dwarfism and
a genetic bottleneck the sloth split
from their original population when the
island split from the mainland and so
became a genetically independent species
whose isolation and limited range
decreased their size and survivability
there are an estimated 79 dwarf sloths
left on the island and the species is
categorized as critically endangered and
critically adorable we’ve discovered
breeding females holding young of the
pygmy soft but also we’ve discovers
they’re being cleared number seven the
Sumatran rhinoceros there are only a
hundred Sumatran rhinos left in the
world today and there are only nine
being cared for in captivity what these
rhinos have gone through could be called
a genocide for absurd reasons that we
can attribute to human narcissism rhinos
have been massacred in soo
numbers and ways reducing the population
to fragments the Sumatran rhino is one
of the primary victims mostly due to
illegal poaching living continuously for
an estimated 15 million years the
Sumatran is considered to be the oldest
species of rhino hundreds of thousands
roamed several countries before
persecution but that has been reduced to
less than 100 individuals in a small
range of Sumatra this actually pales in
comparison to the Javan rhino with 60
individuals and the northern white rhino
with 3 all of which are too old to breed
working together we hope to bring the
species back from the edge of extinction
number 6 the northern hairy-nosed wombat
please don’t block as one of the rarest
land animals in the world
the northern hairy-nosed wombat exists
in an area of just over one square mile
in Queensland Northeast Australia with a
range that once encompassed hundreds of
thousands of miles the wombats demise
seems almost apocalyptic that’s not
quite the case as there are dozens of
natural reasons for its decimation
though diseases like mange and
toxoplasmosis are accountable you can
see they don’t look like they can run
very fast but actually they can run 20
miles per hour fortunately for the cute
marsupials serious conservation efforts
were undertaken which increased the
population from 30 in the 1970s to over
200 today but there’s still a long way
to go the fact that we have within two
years we have got young coming out of
the burrows is amazing so so we’ve
exceeded all our expectations number
five the megamouth shark reaching 18
feet long and swimming at depths of 500
feet the nightmare-inducing megamouth
shark lived in total secrecy until it’s
1976 discovery the animal had become
entangled in the anchor of a US Navy
ship off the coast of Hawaii its
eventual examination resulted in a
collective cheer for scientists as few
late 20th century discoveries had been
so monumental including the original
there had been only 61 confirmed
specimens of the megamouth found as a
January 2015 catching them on video is
even more rare just three have been
videotaped in the wild I was very
surprised to find a megamouth in shallow
water near the coast I mean here’s an
animal that no one even knew existed
until 1976 a big animal number four the
Florida panther I had there just walked
out about 40 yards run on us walk
straight towards us and in turn right
there ten steps away the Florida panther
aside from being an NHL team is a
subspecies of the common cougar
separated from the general pack the
Panthers made their own ecological niche
in the Florida Everglades and are the
only known breeding population of
Cougars in the eastern US so creating
these corridors or green language that
allow these animals to be able to move
out of their known territories now into
other places that can support their
populations however that very nearly
ended 30 years ago hunting and habitat
loss drove the already inconspicuous
Panthers into obscurity with only twenty
mature individuals existing in the wild
in the 1970s with so few left the gene
pool was weak so reproduction was
unsuccessful or problematic fearing a
total annihilation
scientists mixed healthy texts and
coolers into the population which
improved the genetic diversity and
jump-started breeding today there are an
estimated 180 Florida Panthers in the
wild and the species remains critically
endangered you tell me God has mouths
I’m difficult
number three the Hainan black crested
Gibbon another example of island
segregation are the black crested Gibbon
inhabitants of the Hainan Island off the
coast of China
unlike the pygmy three-toed sloth the
Gibbons managed to thrive on their own
reaching a dense and stable population
of 2,000 during the 1950s
however deforestation in the form of
rubber and paper harvesting has
decreased the population so severely
that the Gibbons are in the midst of an
existential emergency fewer than 30
Gibbons were found in the latest census
meaning they’re likely aren’t enough
individuals for the species to propagate
naturally they’ll either die from
genetic degradation or human ingenuity
will save the world’s rarest primate we
hope it’s the latter we write down how
they have behaving and what fruit they
prefer for scientific research purposes
number two
the Yangtze giant softshell turtle the
Yangtze softshell turtle is so rare in
fact that none exist in the wild this
cannot be 100% confirmed of course but
the last wild sighting was in 1998 it
hasn’t been for lack of trying as the
name says this turtle made its home in
the Yangtze River in Asia a heavily
disturbed and polluted river it’s
claimed its share of species including
the now extinct Yangtze River Dolphin
considered the largest freshwater turtle
in the world the giant softshell has
been pushed to the edge of existence
through hunting poisoning and habitat
destruction just three individuals are
left on the planet and attempted
breeding has thus far been futile this
is the last female on the planet uses
species of turtle and this is literally
the last chance we have to save this
species before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
this is the world’s heaviest and only
flightless parrot another very
distinctive feature is this curious
piece of shell that juts forward is what
gives the animals their name and males
use it to hide under vomits semester
made in Fatah the bagel ISIL under skid
fantastisch a commercial we want to
decline the industry clan of samba simba
lecture number one the giant squid
occupying the lightless abyss of the
deepest oceans the giant squid is a
legend for its rarity for thousands of
years people reported tentacled sea
monsters
it wasn’t until 1857 that the monsters
true identity was revealed a zoologist
named ya potassium stroke studied dead
specimens and made the first formal
classification of the animal calling it
the giant squid after such a revelation
the search was on to document a live one
but we had to wait another 150 years by
the turn of the 21st century the giant
squid remained the only known large
animal to have never been photographed
alive that changed in 2002 when a squid
was caught and photographed near the
surface ten years later the first video
of a giant squid in its natural habitat
was taken to this day that remains the
only wild giant squid we’ve ever seen in
motion do you agree with our list which
