1. Ancient national treasure: giant panda.

the giant panda is probably the most famous animal in the world at present. No matter in China or abroad, it enjoys' presidential 'treatment everywhere. It is a real collection of thousands of favorites. Giant pandas have lived on the earth for at least 8 million years and are known as' living fossils' and 'Chinese national treasures'.

According to the third national wild population survey of giant pandas, there are less than 1600 wild giant pandas in the world, belonging to China's first-class national protected animals. As of October 2011, the number of giant pandas in captivity in China was 333. Because of its lovely appearance and cute behavior, it is loved all over the world.

2. Nose up and blue face: golden monkey.

snub nosed monkeys are named according to their appearance. Their scientific name is the genus snub nosed monkeys. Because the snub nosed monkeys first discovered in the world are Sichuan snub nosed monkeys living in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu of China, the animals of this genus are usually called snub nosed monkeys. At present, there are only four species of golden monkeys in the world, and they are isolated 'islands' in the ecological sense.

There are three species of golden monkeys in China, including Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. There are 39 Sichuan golden monkeys breeding in the Qinling Mountains, with a total of more than 4000 golden monkeys; Yunnan snub nosed monkeys live far away in the snow mountain fir forest in Yunnan and Tibet, with a number of only more than 1000; Guizhou golden monkeys are only found in Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou, with a number of more than 700.

3. Yangtze River strange beast: Baiji dolphin.

Baiji dolphin is a unique aquatic animal in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. There are more than 70 kinds of dolphins in the world, and only 5 kinds of fresh water whales. There is only one kind of fresh water whale in China. Its distribution is narrow, older and rarer than the giant panda. Since 1996, no Baiji has been found in the wild, and several Baiji captured before have died in the bad environment of artificial breeding. Many experts at home and abroad believe that Baiji may have been extinct.

Baiji is one of the four existing freshwater dolphins in the world. It is known as the 'giant panda in the water'. It is a unique freshwater whale in China. It is only produced in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Due to the increase of human activities or improper activities, the number of accidental deaths of Baiji has increased, of which one third were killed by ship propellers.

4. Soul of China: South China tiger.

South China tiger is a unique tiger subspecies in China, which is only in China. The sharp decline in the number of South China tigers and their imminent extinction are caused by the destruction of habitats, the intensification of human activities, human hunting for commercial or revenge, and the high inbreeding of captive South China tigers.

So far, there are about 110 South China tigers in captivity all over the world. The wild South China tiger has not been found since the 1980s, and the attention of South China tiger is far less than that of giant panda. The only sensation was Zhou Zhenglong's fake photos of wild South China tiger in 2008.

5. Pearl of the East: Crested Ibis.

Crested Ibis is in a slightly better condition than South China tiger. Although the number of wild Crested Ibis is small, artificial breeding has achieved good results. Crested Ibis was called Ibis and red ibis in ancient times. Crested Ibis is an endemic species in East Asia. Medium size, white plumage, long willow shaped crest on the back pillow, exposed skin from forehead to cheek, bright red, inhabiting the sparse forest area at an altitude of 1200 ~ 1400 meters.

Crested Ibis has very high protection value and ornamental utilization value. Ibiidae birds lived in Eocene 60 million years ago. Due to environmental deterioration and other factors, the population has decreased sharply. There were only 7 Wild Crested Ibis in the 1980s. At present, the number of protected Crested Ibis has exceeded 1000.

6. National bird: Brown pheasant.

Brown pheasant is a special rare bird in China. It mainly inhabits in the forest area dominated by North China Larch and spruce secondary forest and the secondary coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest of North China larch, spruce, poplar and birch. It is only found in Guancenshan National Forest Park in Shanxi, China, Northwest Hebei, Huanglong Mountain in Shaanxi and Dongling Mountain in Beijing. Only hundreds of wild populations were investigated in 1987. According to the literature report in 2009, the existing number of wild brown pheasant in China is about 17900.

7. Relict species: Alligator sinensis.

at present, there are only 130-150 wild Chinese alligators, of which about 50 are adult Chinese alligators, and they are decreasing at a rate of 4-6% per year. Chinese alligator is a unique crocodile in China, commonly known as Zhupo dragon and Earth Dragon. It is also one of the smallest crocodile species in the world.

The Chinese alligator is very old. Up to now, many features of earlier dinosaur reptiles can be found. People call the Chinese alligator a 'living fossil'. It is of great significance for people to study the rise and fall of ancient reptiles and the evolution of paleogeology and biology. Alligator sinensis is mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake. Its threat mainly comes from the destruction of its habitat. Its habitat has been continuously developed into agricultural land such as cultivated land and fish ponds

8. Plateau bird: Black necked Crane.

black necked Crane is the only crane growing and breeding on the plateau in the world. It is mainly distributed in Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu and Northern Sichuan. Its body feathers are gray white, its head, front neck and flying feathers are black, and its tail feathers are brown black. Its body length is 110 ~ 120cm and its weight is 4 ~ 6kg.

Only 700-800 black necked cranes were known in the mid-1980s. Since then, due to the deepening of investigation, 4277 black necked cranes were known to winter in Tibet in the 1990s. By the beginning of 2002, more than 3261 black necked cranes were known to winter in Yunnan Guizhou Plateau, bringing the total number of black necked cranes to 7538.

According to the quantity statistics in the winter of 1992, 1268 were seen in China. After 2002, large overwintering groups were found in Zhaotong, Yunnan Province, and the number has exceeded 1500. It is estimated that by 2011, the total number in the world will be about 10000.

9. Snow bloodthirsty: Tibetan antelope.

Tibetan antelope was once listed as an endangered animal. In 2012, the population of Tibetan antelope in Tibet increased from 70000 in 1999 to more than 100000 at present. By 2014, the number has been nearly 300000, and Tibetan antelope is about to withdraw from the list of China's top ten endangered animals. This is undoubtedly good news for animal conservationists.

Because the Tibetan antelope's bottom wool is very thin and soft and has excellent texture, it was hunted and killed in a large number from the 1980s to the beginning of the 21st century. After being smuggled abroad for several times, it can sell tens of thousands of dollars to some European countries. Then began to crack down on illegal hunting and establish protected areas, so that the number of Tibetan antelopes recovered rapidly.

10. Lost and found: four different phenomena.

elk is the legendary 'four elephants'. It is a rare animal in the world and belongs to the deer family. Because its head and face are like a horse, its horns are like a deer, its neck is like a camel and its tail is like a donkey, it is named siunlike. It is native to the swamp areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. It feeds on green grass and aquatic plants. It is sociable and good at swimming. It likes to eat tender grass and aquatic plants.

By the 19th century, there were only a group of people left in the royal hunting garden of Nanhaizi in Beijing. Soon after the discovery in the west, it was captured by the Eight Power Allied forces and disappeared in China. It was not until 1898 that it was purchased and bred by Britain to 255, and some individuals were sent back to China in 1983. After that, more elk returned to their hometown and some were released into the wild. As of August 2011, the total number of milu deer in Dafeng wetland in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province had reached 1789; In June 2013, the total number of milu deer in the Swan Island milu deer reserve in Shishou City, Hubei Province reached 1016.

What are the endangered animals in the world

The world's most endangered species:

1. Baiji dolphin, also known as Baiji, belongs to beak dolphin family. Its scientific name is lipotesvexillifer Miller. It belongs to Cetacea and Baiji family. The recognition features are: the snout process is narrow and long, about 300 mm long. The forehead is round and raised. The dorsal fin is triangular, located at 3 / 5 of the body, with a low skin ridge connected to the caudal fin.

There is a breathing hole on the left side of the head that can be opened and closed freely. The caudal fin is horizontal, concave to the edge and crescent shaped. Baiji population is very small. It is a unique rare aquatic animal in China, which needs to be protected urgently. It is produced in the main stream of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. They have lived in the Yangtze River for about 25 million years and are known as' living fossils'. Due to its small number, it is listed as a first-class protected wild animal in China. Declared functional extinction.

2. There are only 400 Sumatran tigers in the wild. With the extinction of the barre tiger in the 1940s and the sea tiger in the 1970s, it is expected that this species will disappear on the earth in the near future. Sumatran tiger (scientific name: Panthera tigris ssp. Sumatrae) is the smallest tiger of its kind. The male weighs 100 ~ 150kg and the female weighs 75 ~ 100kg. The cheek hair around the face is long, the beard is also long, and the whole body is goose yellow.

Sumatran tiger has the darkest fur of all tigers. Its black stripes are significant, the spacing between stripes is very small, and the stripes are often arranged in pairs, and there are stripes on its front legs. It is only distributed on Sumatra island in Indonesia. The habitat ranges from plain forests to high mountains. There are only about 400 ~ 500 wild Sumatran tigers, mainly in five national parks on the island of Indonesia.

3. Northern white rhinoceros, Congo's Garamba National Park has less than 25 northern white rhinoceros left in the world, and the northern white rhinoceros may disappear completely on the earth. There are great genetic differences between northern white rhinoceros and southern African white rhinoceros. They once bred in Uganda, but gradually disappeared due to local neglect of protection.

In gualamba National Park, their number reached 35 in the late 1980s and 30 in April 2003. Since then, 6 were killed and 4 were newly born. Last month, another 2 were hunted and nearly 1000 elephants were killed.

6. Mouse lemur, the smallest monkey in the world, lives in Madagascar.

7. L. Kemp & rsquo; s Ridley turtle is the only one of the 12 most endangered animals in the world. It needs 11 ~ 35 years of growth.

8. Only 250 ~ 700 Orinoco crocodile (Crocodylus intermedius) survive in the wild. Mainly in Cuba and Venezuela.

9. Thai pig nose bat.
