What are animals endangered and why is this topic important?
Endangered animals are animals that have been hunted almost to extinction. The amount of some species is lowering, like the red panda, mountain gorilla, and sea lion. The loss of just one species can have an effect on entire ecosystems. Animals are also important because they help pollinate plants, control pests, and manage the climate. Even though we're losing species, there are many things we can do to help! People can start small by helping animals on the side of the road and on the street. And ecosystems can be protected by picking up trash, watering wilted plants, and not littering. Also, we also want to try to stop poaching as much as we can so we can keep animals from becoming extinct.

We have a lot of different animals in the forest (for example, a hare). It is a small and very fast animal. He has a small, elongated muzzle, long ears, a short tail and strong hind legs. In winter it is white, and in summer it is gray. It helps him hide. It can run at speeds up to 70 km/h. It's hard to see and hard to catch up. Hares eat berries, plants and tree bark. Hares weigh 2-7 kg.
Seals are predatory mammals living on the Bering and Okhotsk Seas' shores. They swim using their rear fins. Over short distances, they can reach 14 mph if being chased! Seals are great divers who feed on fish and shellfish. Adults reach 6 feet in length and almost 300 pounds in weight. Common seals usually live in rocky places where predators can't reach them.

The range of this tiger is concentrated in a protected zone in the southeast of Russia, along the banks of the Amur and Ussuri rivers in the Amur Region, Khabarovsk and Primorsky Territories, and the Jewish Autonomous Region. Most of all, Amur tigers are common in the foothills of the Sikhote-Alin in the Lazovsky district of Primorsky Krai, where every sixth wild Amur tiger lives in a relatively small area. It is planned to resettle Amur tigers in the territory of the Pleistocene Park in Yakutia.
The Amur tiger is one of the largest subspecies. The coat is thicker than that of tigers living in warm regions, and its color is lighter. The main coat color in winter is orange, and the belly is white.
This is the only subspecies of the tiger, whose representatives have a five-centimeter layer of fat on their belly, which protects them from freezing winds at extremely low temperatures. The body is elongated, flexible, the head is rounded, the paws are not long, the tail is long. The ears are very short, as it lives in cold areas. The Amur tiger distinguishes colors. At night, he sees five times better than a human..
In nature, a tiger lives up to 15 years, in captivity a little over 20 years.
The average weight range for Amur tigers is 180-306 kg for males and 100-167 kg for females. The total length of males in this case is 270-330 cm, and females - 240-275 cm.
Despite the enormous strength and developed sense organs, the tiger has to devote a lot of time to hunting, since only one out of 10 attempts is successful. The tiger crawls up to its prey, while moving in a special way: arching its back and resting its hind legs on the ground. He kills small animals by gnawing his throat, and first he knocks large animals to the ground and only then gnaws through the cervical vertebrae.
The basis of the diet is red deer, spotted deer, roe deer, wild boars, Himalayan bears, elks and small mammals. The daily norm of a tiger is 9-10 kg of meat.
«Roe Deer»

The roe deer lives on lawns in forests and forest-steppes.
Animals of Russia: Fox
The fox is a mammalian animal. They feed mainly on rabbits and rodents. They can also eat bird eggs and even fruits and berries. They live in family groups in burrows. Foxes have excellent eyesight and sense of smell. The color of the fox has a bright red back, a white belly, and dark paws. There are also black foxes.

Correct! This is a polar bear. During the lesson for children of eight years old, we will show how a bear survives in cold conditions. My classmates will help me with this experiment. Polar bear are extremely well insulated and have a layer of blubber that can be up to 10cm. Thick covered with another 15cm of fur. They also have black skin under their fur which helps to trap heat.

What's Being Done to Help?
What's Being Done to Help?
People around the world should focus on helping animals/organisms out of endangerment and keeping them from becoming extinct. Something that we could do is follow animals such as rhinos and watch to see if any poachers try to take their horns. One thing that poachers will do is they will kill the entire rhino just for its horn, which is horrible and wrong! People who live in areas experiencing poaching problems can use this method and see if the population grows. Then they can try similar plans with other endangered animals. That would most likely discourage poachers from trying to poach other animals because they would fear that those animals are also being protected.
Protecting endangered animals from poachers could help the economy in these areas. Tourists prefer to see live, healthy animals. And locals experience sorrow for the animals whose lives are wasted just for some money, so they won't support that in their economy. By following and protecting these animals, we can hopefully make the population stable once again.

This really cool video shows a team in Africa, called Team Rhinos, who gives rhinos sleep darts so they can cut off their horns. It protects the rhinos so hunters don't kill them for their horns. People could be inspired by this video to start a charity for endangered animals or to donate a lot of money to charities that already exist.

What Can We Do to Help?
First, we can write about how we can help endangered animals. After that, we can create websites or make YouTube videos to help others know what they can do. Also, people can go on the news and tell others about the importance of protecting endangered animals. Finally, we can stop killing endangered animals!

I have always admired animals that are almost extinct. I love how fascinating the animals with big horns and beautiful pelts are. Also, I don't get why people say that they care for the environment but then they litter everywhere.

Due to overfishing, habitat loss and degradation of the marine ecosystem, the Mediterranean monk seal's world distribution has narrowed and its population has declined rapidly. It lives in Turkey, Greece, Morocco, Mauritania and Madeira Islands and its total population is estimated at around
600. The Mediterranean monk seal, which is a large marine mammal, varies between 2-3 meters in length and 200-300 kilograms in weight. Short and hard hairs, not exceeding 5 mm, cover the body of adults. When seen above water, their most distinctive features are their large heads, long mustaches and coal-like black eyes. There is no significant difference in height and weight between the adult female and the male, but there are characteristic color distinctions. When lying on land, the body's size and plump appearance are striking. There are anterior fins (anterior members) on both sides of the body and posterior fins (hind members) in two parts at the back.
Male: Dark brown to black with a distinctive white spot on the abdomen.
Female: It is in light brown or gray tones, and the underbelly of the abdomen is lighter than the back, even close to white, from the neck to the tail. Also in the upper waist area are nail marks caused by males during mating.
Puppy: At birth, its height is about 80-90 cm, and its weight is about 20 kilograms. Except for an obvious white spot on the abdomen, the entire body is covered with glossy black hairs 1-1.5 cm long, like a towel. The offspring is born with mustaches that both parents have. It starts to change its fur when it is about two months old, and in a month or two, long black hairs are replaced by short and shiny gray ones. The eastern Mediterranean individuals living on the Turkish coasts generally travel alone and are rarely seen together. It is also known that researchers used to observe between 2 and 4 seals together in Turkey from time to time, and even though this number is very rare, it goes up to
7-8. Like many of its features, complete information about its behavior is not available. There are assumptions that Mediterranean monk seals came together in certain periods and then dispersed again. Adult male individuals generally determine a region and continue their lives there.
Although females are more wandering than males, they do not leave the breeding cave and its surroundings during the breeding period. Young seal individuals, on the other hand, can go to distant areas during their growing period. It is estimated that female Mediterranean seals travel great distances to mate and come near the male seals and then leave the male's territory. Mating takes place at sea. It is estimated that the female seal reaches sexual maturity at the age of 4-5 years. The female Mediterranean monk seal gives birth to a calf every year or 2 years after a gestation period of
10-11 months. For this reason, the Mediterranean monk seal is a creature with a low reproduction rate and a low number of offspring. Birth takes place on a pebble beach or rocky platform where the waves can't reach easily, at the far end of an air-filled coastal cavern that humans can't visit (or reach). The mother nurses the young with her own milk for about 4 months on land inside the cave.
Mediterranean monk seals absolutely need land (and especially coastal caves) to give birth to and raise their young.
