    Endangered animals are species at risk of extinction, categorized as critically endangered, endangered, or vulnerable based on risk level. Many countries have laws protecting endangered species, such as the US Endangered Species Act of 1973, and wildlife preserves are established to protect habitats and support species recovery efforts. Scientists track population levels and risks to help conserve species and prevent them from disappearing completely from Earth or becoming extinct in the wild.

    alive on earth. An
    animal is considered
    endangered or

    Some animals are more


    threatened than others. To
    keep track of how at risk of
    becoming extinct a species
    may be, scientists
    categorize the level of risk
    with a different name. From
    the most threatened animal
    to least threatened these
    names are:
    1) critically endangered
    2) endangered
    There
    are also some animals that only exist

    animals are called "extinct in the wild".
