The most endangered species on earth 5

21. the Horton Plains slender loris:

Almost completely unseen for 60 years, the Horton Plains slender loris was thought to be extinct until researchers were finally able to identify one in 2002. Ranging from six to ten inches long and highly vulnerable, there may be fewer than 100 of these little primates left in the world.

22. The Gharial

The gharial is a fish-eating crocodile native to the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. It’s name comes from its unusual snout, which resembles a common piece of earthenware pottery known in India as a ghara. Hunted for trophies and indigenous medicines, gharials currently inhabit just 2% of their original range. There may be less than 235 of them left on earth.

23. The Kiwi Birds:

Despite being a national symbol in their home country of New Zealand, kiwi birds are severely threatened. These unique flightless birds are prey for rats, dogs, and stoats, and just 10% of kiwi chicks are currently estimated to be reaching adulthood.
