This snooty lad used to occupy fast areas of Eurasia such as Russia, Mongolia, and China but now is endangered due to being hunted for their horns and meat since prehistory.]]> 2022-11-18 13:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sauton2/DP2redlist/wish/2389878429 https://padlet.com/sauton2/DP2redlist/wish/2389890394 The Luna moth is fascinating since it only loves for 7-10 days during it's winged phase and has no digestive system living only to mate for those 7-10 days. It is found in Northern American countries such as America and Canada. It is nocturnal and it is classified as least concern. Due it's nocturnal nature it is not seen very often. They only have vestigial mouth organs from when they were larvae. SO COOL!]]> 2022-11-18 13:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sauton2/DP2redlist/wish/2389890394 https://padlet.com/sauton2/DP2redlist/wish/2389901989 More recently, in 2016, the marbled frogmouth Podargus ocellatus was listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

The species was first described by Jean René Constant Cuoy and Joseph Paul Gaimard in 1830. It is found in the Aru Islands, New Guinea and Queensland. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. They are native for Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

The Marbled Frogmouth is a bird with bright yellow eyes and a widely spaced beak. The beak is abnormally wide, like a frog's mouth, triangular in shape. The size of the bird varies from 33 to 38 cm.

The Marbled Frogmouth is nocturnal, hunting at night. The diet consists mainly of large nocturnal insects.
Birds breed from about August to December. Both parents incubate the eggs.

Clearing, fragmentation, and isolation of tropical rainforests and associated moist eucalyptus forests for agriculture and forestry has been a major cause of this species' decline.

The life of this species is essential for other endangered species, including the black owl and Australia's largest nocturnal bird, the powerful owl.

As with all hummingbirds they have a very high metabolism to support their extremely fast wing flapping rate of 80 times per second. They are endemic to the Cuban archipelago and are considered near threatened. They are so cute.]]> 2022-11-18 13:30:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sauton2/DP2redlist/wish/2389904754 https://padlet.com/sauton2/DP2redlist/wish/2389991299 The Giant Pangasius is a critically endagered fresh water species of sharks (last assessed in 2007). They are sharks that live in the Mekong and Chao Phraya rivers, and that are in danger of extinction due to their decrease in population caused by overfishing, dissapering reefs and construction of dams. They can reach 130 cm in size and weigh 44.0 kg.  They live around 20 years. ]]> 2022-11-18 14:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sauton2/DP2redlist/wish/2389991299
