Animals in Danger!

---

¹     What do these animals have in common? Pandas, rhinoceros, Mexican burrowing snakes, loggerhead turtles, Californian condors, pink pigeons, small tooth sawfish, and Siberian sturgeons?
 
²     They are all endangered animals!
 
³     Animals become endangered for a variety of reasons. Sadly, humans are behind every one of them! Here are the four reasons that many animals are in jeopardy:

• Excessive hunting: For centuries, humans have hunted elephants for their impressive tusks, killed tigers for their beautiful fur, and scooped up sturgeons to make caviar. While we still have elephants, tigers, and sturgeons in the wild, we cannot say the same about many others that have simply become extinct!
