 Pollution: From oil, gas, human waste and other sources can quickly harm an environment. Animals that lives in oceans, rivers and lakes are specially sensitive to pollution in their environment. Also they lost their habitats or global warning, etc.

Hunting and Poaching: Poaching is when people illegaly kill animals for their horns, fur or meat, and then sell these products. Animals with horn and pretty fur are often endangered because of poaching. Even when people hunt and fish legally, they may over do it, and cause species to go extinct.

Animals with unique skills

1. Puma: Jumping

 The puma is one of the most formidable predators on the planet.Also known this animal has muscular hind legs and large paws designed for powerful leaping. From a standing position, the puma has been known to jump 15 feet vertically. With a running start, the animal can easily clear 40 feet horizontally.They are within pouncing distance and then delivering a swift and fatal bite to the neck.

2. Dung Beetle: Moonlight Navigation

These insects are often observed to travel in a straight line with their dung balls, despite whatever obstacles they may encounter. It seems that these insects rely on the patterns created when moonlight interacts with particles in the atmosphere (polarization) to navigate in a straight line. When no moonlight is available, the dung beetles tend to veer, curve or otherwise meander, making safe delivery of those poop packages much more difficult.

3. Cheetah: Running
