Meet the top 10 endangered animals
The threat to the continuity of animals is caused by the destruction of human habitats, especially tropical forests, which contain a large number of trees that have become a major source of access to wood and other resources.
As humans cut trees, many species lose their native habitat, making them easy prey for other animals.
The threat is not limited to tropical forests only. There are many factors that threaten animals, most importantly biodiversity. The fossils of millions of years have shown that biodiversity is one of the most important factors for the continuity of all life on Earth. Today, the world faces a threat to a number of life forms On its surface, the following list shows the most 10 endangered animals:
1 - The Siberian Tiger
Was one of the most widespread animals in Asia, but today it is present in American zoos in numbers in excess of its numbers in nature, and is the largest type of large cats in the world, and is threatened by the use of traditional methods of treatment in China for its members despite the presence of alternative medicines effective, Only 450 Siberian Tigers remain in nature.

Giant Panda
This type of animal has been classified as an endangered species for several years. It is a habit of spending half its day eating bamboo, which accounts for 99% of its diet. The main reason for the threat of pandas is to exploit its natural environment for agriculture. According to the 2014 census, there are 1864 giant panda In nature only.
