Top 5 Endangered Animal Facts


this list isn’t all doom and gloom but
we can’t sugarcoat it either unable to
feed this bear will not survive welcome
to watchmojo.com
to avoid wasting energy they work as a
group today we’re counting down 5 facts
you probably didn’t realize about
endangered animals the Jordans babbler
was last seen in July 1941 in Myanmar’s
bago region number five one in six
species could be extinct by the end of
this century I’m gonna insult on
something may befall Africa okay it’s AK
still cold all saving some herons
extinct animal no state right now
numerous studies project that climate
change over exploitation and
deforestation will lead to more and more
species extinctions in the United States
only about 1% of the species ever
protected under the Endangered Species
Act have recovered and been delisted
though 90% of the species are recovering
at the rate specified by their federal
recovery plan globally experts say that
species are dying out between 1,000 and
10,000 times faster than they would
without human interference make presents
out of say extinct animal that’s not
gonna really work that so you know that
I can’t take from their extinct animal
the World Wildlife Federation says that
we can all help by choosing sustainably
harvested wood and seafood and by not
buying quite so many ivory chess sets
forget it I’ll just cut back on the
Condor egg omelet mmm
a couple of those would be tasty right
now number four
sometimes we’d rather not save species
we wiped out the entire species what
have I done
what have I God calm down Paul there’s
two left
humans have a complicated relationship
with animals were amazed by some parts
of nature when it fits our purposes and
annoyed with it when it doesn’t
conservation efforts are often
undermined by ordinary people who ignore
official warnings and do things like set
up bird feeders for rewilding birds
they’re not going to be able to stay in
the house you put them outside when our
food cats I can get them in a dot okay
well here for instance many years of
effort were put into reintroducing
wolves into Yellowstone National Park in
the US and the project was celebrated as
a great success but the many ranchers
who live around the park now have to
worry about wolves preying on their
cattle this scenario is at the heart of
one of the controversies surrounding the
reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone
while elk hunters don’t like the extra
competition it’s bad enough they have to
contend with bears their clinic baskets
I got tuna coming out of my ears boom
the thrill is gone it’s too easy since
mr. Ranger has left no competition
number three pigeons deer and geese were
once rare diapir a female d today these
are three of the most common wild
animals you’ll see in North America but
they were all hunted down to dangerously
low populations within the last 200
years shooting pigeons used to be a
popular pastime buckskins were once as
common as genes are today bringing deer
populations near collapse and Canada
geese were once thought to have been
hunted to extinction pretty surprising
equally surprising is that many animals
that we consider somewhat commonplace
today either in the wild or as pets like
chinchillas and ferrets are actually
endangered what are you doing future is
said is that the student that quickly
hits a fat number two extinct species
are sometimes rediscovered turns out
Jordans babbler the bird everyone
thought was extinct in fact isn’t
extinct in 2015 a bird that was thought
to have been extinct since 1941
Jordan’s babbler was rediscovered in
Yanmar in 2013 a frog in Israel popped
up for the first time in 60 years
in 2014 I misplaced my sunglasses for 8
months
hi I’m gonna get to the truth an
international study published in 2011
concluded that in the last 122 years at
least 351 species that were thought to
have been wiped out have been
rediscovered but let’s not count all our
dodo eggs before they’ve hatched
go go the beach given the
widespread trend of habitat lost most of
these species are still highly
threatened
I got a strap for my sunglasses though
so they’re safe
number one the extinction is happening
if you have two species one extinct one
living you can get the genetic material
of the extinct one and compare that to
the living one scientists are very close
to being able to bring back extinct
animals the prospect raises many
practical and philosophical questions
though passenger pigeons needed gigantic
populations to survive but will we clone
a million of them we’re going to mother
the baby passenger pigeon is there even
enough habitat left for them or for the
woolly mammoth will we undercut
conservation if we lead people to
believe that extinction is only
temporary and most importantly when they
inevitably clone dinosaurs and create
some kind of a dinosaur Zoo what will
they call this Mesozoic era Park I call
it
Billy and the clone asuras oh you have
looked a bit giddy sir what do you think
of these facts what what are you
thinking which forgotten animal would
you nominate for D extinction no wonder
you’re extinct for more overexploited
top 10s and genetically cloned top fives
