What is the most endangered animal in the world?

Question

And don't say people. :-)

I said don't say humans. There are plenty of those about. And Ligers never lived in the wild to begin with.

Answer 1

there are many and for various reasons ... i think pandas are one of the most endangered seeing as they are actually making them watch panda porn to get them breeding just to ensure they don't become extinct

Answer 2

As a few others have mentioned, the Yangzte river dolphin, or baiji is probably one of the most endangered animals on Earth. It was recently declared functionally extinct, as a month long search for the dolphin in China's crowded and polluted Yangtze river failed to turn up a single living dolphin.

While it's possible that there may be one or two left somewhere in the river, it is exceedingly unlikely that they will survive to reproduce.

The northern subspecies of the white rhino is similarly critically endangered. Recent incursions of poachers into the only protected area they still existed dropped their numbers to as low as perhaps five individuals last summer. Again, they are not expected to be able to recover.

Answer 3

There's only about 200 or 300 California Condors left in the wild.

Answer 4

Lonesome George of the Galapogos Islands is the only member of his species known to man. As a tortoise in his 100s, I think he'd probably qualify.

Answer 5

There are several species of Hawaiian birds that no longer exist in the wild, only a few left in captivity.

Answer 6

The world's most dangerous animal (excluding man) are MALARIAL PARASITES of the genus PLASMODIUM carried by mosquitoes of the genus ANOPHELES, which, if we exclude wars and accidents, have probably been responsible directly or indirectly for 50% of all human deaths since the Stone Age. Even today, despite major campaigns to eradicate malaria, at least 200 million people are ailing by the disease each year, and more than one million babies and children die annually from it in Africa alone.
