Bilbies are endangered animals in Queensland, Australia. They are small omnivores and eat small lizards,  mice, spiders, insects, roots and seeds. They are one of the fastest breeding animals on earth, with a 12 to 14 day pregnancy before giving birth. They live in cool, shady burrows that they dig themselves and block off during the day to keep the cool inside. Its big ears help it to cool off, and its strong forearms and claws help it to dig. Bilbies are endangered because of introduced species, including foxes, which prey upon the poor Bilbies.

The emperor penguin is a species of penguin that is located in Antarctica. They are the tallest of all penguins, measuring an incredible 115 cm tall, the average height of a 6 year old. They take babysitting very seriously, as while the females go off to find food, the males literally sit on the eggs to keep them warm. To keep themselves warm in the below zero temperatures of chilly antarctica, they huddle together in groups, and use body fat and feathers as insulation to keep themselves warm. Sadly, they are endangered because of global warming and climate change.  Learn more about emperor penguins at

Florida panthers live in the south western tip of Florida in a range of habitats, from wetlands, to swamps, to even forests! They are about 6 to 7 feet long and look similar to your average mountain lion, except for the back and the tail. They are carnivores, and are known to eat average sized mammals, birds and reptiles. Florida panthers are highly territorial and use signs like claw marks to defend their territory. They live alone except for when mating. On average, they live approximately 12 years in the wild. Guess what? They can't roar! Instead, they growl, purr or hiss.  In the wild, there are only 120 to 130 florida panthers left, with the main cause of them being endangered as disease, genetic disorder and car accidents.

Narwhals live in the icy arctic waters of Greenland, to be specific, Baffin Bay. They have an interesting tusk on top of their head, which is in fact an enlarged tooth that can sense things! The tusk can grow up to 10 feet, the size of your average basketball hoop. They feed on shrimp, squid and greenland halibut. Narwhals can dive as deep as a mile deep into the ocean, before popping up for air through the tiny cracks in the ice. Narwhals are tracked using satellites, so we can learn more about them! They are becoming extinct because of oil and gas development and climate change.

The african elephant is gigantic- so huge in fact, that i t is the largest land animal on earth. They graze through 37 different african countries, as they are extremely endurant. African elephants measure 11 feet on average and have massive ears that they use to radiate excess heat. Their long trunks are their noses, which are extremely flexible and are used for breathing, eating, drinking and washing themselves. Unfortunately, African elephants are endangered because of poaching for their ivory horns, which are used for numerous things. Learn more about african elephants at

The siberian tiger is the size of  a 6 foot man, and weighs around 660 pounds. They live in Russia's vast woodlands, and the harsh northern climate. Only about 500 remain, though, which makes them critically endangered. Tigers are solitary animals, who live alone and are highly territorial. No tiger has exactly the same stripes to another, and they use that to their advantage by camouflaging themselves in the long grass and trees. Siberian tigers are endangered because of poaching for their meat and fur.

The Alpine Marmot is a plump rodent that lives in the mountains of Italy. They stand at a height of 18 cm, and have an average weight of 4,447.5 grams. They are amazing diggers and are built to burrow deep beneath the earth, as they have specially built paws with a nail on the thumb and  a claw on all the other fingers. The Alpine Marmot can live an amazing 15-18 years, which is a large life span for an animal. Alpine Marmots are known for their friendly dispositions, and are playful and caring. They greet each other by touching noses, and groom each other too. However, they are protective of their young and guard t he burrows like meerkats, with one marmot on duty, standing guard. The guard will warn the clan with a high pitched whistle if an enemy is in sight. Sadly, they are endangered because  of mass hunting for their body fat and as trophies.
