Many people do not understand that there are so many endangered species in the world today. It is very important to try to help save them to avoid having them become instinct. Below I have shared some of the endangered species in the world that many people do not even think twice about.

1.       African Elephant: This is one of the endangered species that is not able to be hunted in some countries yet they still allow its skin to be used for ivory.

2.       Right Whale: The right whale used to be the most commonly hunted whale there is. However, luckily, this whale is protected under the law.

3.       Hybrid Spider Monkey: This is a special breed of monkey that many people have never heard about. They have the unique trait of being able to use their tail as a limb.

4.       Gorilla: This is one of the species that everyone has heard of yet not everyone knows that they are endangered.

5.       Tiger: Yes, the same animals that we see being used in the circus and on display in zoos are the same species that is classified as being endangered.

6.       Whooping Crane: Some people have heard of this animal yet many of them do not know that they are endangered.

Quite a few of the animals that have been around for as long as we can remember are endangered. Can you imagine them one day become extinct and our very children not being familiar with them at all?
