ENDANGERED SPECIES OF FISHES,
REPTILES, BIRS AND MAMMALS.

FACTORS DUE TO
WHICH ENDANGERED
SPECIES MAY BE AT
RISK:

INVASIVE HABIT
SPECIES LOSS

POACHING
 ENDANGERED SPECIES OF FISHES:
 Endangered species of fishes are:
 Atlantic Halibut
 Beluga Sturgeon
 Bluefin Tuna
 European EEL
 ATLANTIC HALIBUT:

 Largest flatfish in the world.

 Mouth is large with sharp curved teeth.
 Flat diamond shaped bodies.
 Upper side is molted grey to dark brown.
 Inner side is typically white.
 Eyes are on upper side of their bodies.
Conservations and risk factors:

 Beluga Sturgeon:

 Its white belly gives them name the Beluga name.

 Upper body tends to be black, gray, dark green.
 Also look like shark due to large jagged tails.

ENDANGERED SPECIES OF MAMMALS

ENDAGERED SPECIES OF MAMMALS ARE:

Javan Rhinos

Amur leopard

Sunda island tiger

Black rhinos
 JAVAN RHINOCEROS:

 This is a dusky grey color

 Has single horn of up to about 10 inches.
 Its skin has a number of loose folds.
 This is similar in appearance to closely related to greater one horned
rhinoceros.
Conservation and risk factors:
Conservation strategy:
Removing the palm trees will
allow rhino friendly browse to
recover and spread.
Creating more suitable habitat in
the park so the rhinos can
increase breeding again.
Risk factors:
Javan rhinos were killed by trophy
hunters during colonial times.
They also killed as agricultural pests
and for their horn
Poaching remains an ever present
threat.
