ENDANGERED SPECIES

Hi friends hope you all have a great day ahead!!!! Back again to share information about the endangered species in the world. Any guess about endangered species.

Species which are in danger of extinction are known as endangered species. If the threats are not looked in to the endangered species, at one stage they will become extinct or their population will decline. If this trend persists in an ecosystem, the balance between predator and prey in food chain is affected. In Asia, over harvesting of bull frogs which eats the mosquito, paved the way for the exuberant growth of mosquito population and caused malarial diseases.

Out of 350 species of mammals, 116 are greatly endangered. There are about 2100 species and sub species of birds are also endangered. Among the reptiles one species of tortoise, 5 species of monitor lizard and three species of crocodiles and turtles are coming under this endangered category. Hope this information is really useful to all. To be continued. with regards.
