There is this amazing animal called the Saola. Most of you don’t know anything about it but I do and I want to save it. The Saola was discovered May of 1992 of the 20th century. It has two paralall horns on its head that can reach 20 inches in length. The horns are found on bolth male and feamale of the saola. You know how you have cousins the saola has a cousin too cattle! There found in the annamite mountians of vitnam and laos.Unfortunately there are only a few hundred left in there reigon but we can save it if we try hard. And there not just endangered but criticly endangered and that is not good. Whats hard is that some people put down snares and they get caugte in them. and habitat loss there losing there habitat too. so if we don’t act soon they could go ectstinct.

Hi! Today I am here to tell you about the Vaquita. Funny name I know! The Vaquita is a porpoise. It is actually the smallest porpoise in the world. It is only 5 feet long and only weighs about 120 pounds. They were only discovered in 1958 because they are so rare. They live in the upper part of Mexico’s gulf of California. They are very shy and scatter if a boat approaches. There are only about 200 of them left in the world. The Vaquita is endangered because of fishing nets. They also have to worry about sharks but their main concern is fishing nets. They get caught in the nets and die because they can’t get to the surface for air so they basically drown. So will you help me save the Vaquita?

In the mid 20th century whooping cranes went nearly extinct. In 1941 there was only 16 cranes left. I feel so bad about these creatures and how hard it is for these birds. Their number increased and there are about 200 in the wild and about 200 in captivity now so it is even. In all there would be about 400 of the birds alive. Their natural breeding ground is mostly in Canada. They mostly eat plants,shellfish,insects,fish and frogs so they are mostly carnivores. This is the main reason why whooping cranes are endangered: the loss of habitat and oil spills. Here is a picture to show how cute they really are.
