Spanish Oyama cat(Iberian Lynx) is in the most dangerous state of the cat family of the world. Currently it seems that about 120 individuals are inhabited and divided in the Andalusia region of Spain. The Spanish Ooyama cats are decreasing mainly due to habitat destruction, traffic accidents, rabbits becoming poached fish and foods are decreasing, the Spanish government decided to release rabbits in the wild for protection. If the Spanish Oyama cat died out, it seems that the feline animals will be extinct for the first time in about 2000 years.

Sumatra orangutanCurrently lives in 7,500 people, but it is decreasing by 1000 in a year, and according to WWF director working in Borneo and Sumatra, the seed will be extinct within 10 years as it is. The main reason why orangutans are decreasing is the reduction of forests due to logging and burning fields.

Youse cowaniIs a small crocodile that is rare to grow beyond 2 m and lives in wetlands downstream of the Yangtze River. I dig a hole in the waterside to make it a nest, but since local farmers catch it, 150 to 200 wild ones are considered. However, because the artificial breeding succeeded, the number seems to increase considerably.
