    The cougar, orangutan, vaquita, Steller sea lion, pangolin, and quail are endangered species. Cougars were killed by European settlers for hunting livestock. Orangutans' habitats are destroyed for palm oil and they are poached. Vaquitas are threatened by illegal fishing nets. Steller sea lions were shot by fishermen who saw them as competition. Pangolins are heavily hunted for their scales and meat. Quails nearly went extinct due to habitat loss but were rediscovered in the 1960s. These animals are endangered primarily due to habitat loss and conflicts with human activities like hunting, fishing, and palm oil production.

    MOST ENDANGERED

    ANIMALS
    Made by-Aryan upadhyay
    COUGAR
    The cougar is a large felid of the subfamily . It is native to the
    Americas. Its range spans from the Canadian Yukon to the
    southern Andes in South America, and is the widest of any
    large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere
    Why are cougars endangered?
    Most of these cougars were killed in the 1800s as the result of
    European immigrants clearing forests. Those immigrants also
    killed the animals out of concern that the large predators
    would hunt livestock.

    ORANGUTANS
    The orangutans are three extant species of great apes native to Indonesia
    and Malaysia. Orangutans are currently found in the rainforests of Borneo
    and Sumatra. they ranged throughout Southeast Asia and South China.
    They are also found in India.
    Why are orangutans endangered?
    This intelligent creature is endangered primarily due to habitat destruction
    for palm oil plants. The illegal wildlife trade captures young orangutans and
    kills their mothers, leading to decreased numbers. Illegal poaching and
    conflicts with humans are also contributing to their endangerment.
    They are herbivores

    VAQUITA
    The vaquita are found in Gulf of California. Averaging 150 cm or 140
    cm in length. Today, the species is on the brink of extinction. Recent
    research estimates the population at fewer than 19 individuals.
    Why are vaquitas so endangered?
    illegal fishing practices are the main drivers pushing vaquita to
    extinction, particularly due to by catch from illegal
    fishing. Vaquitas share waters with the much sought-after totoaba fish
    and fishing nets.
     they are omnivores. they mainly eat fishes

    • Why are steller sea lions endangered?
    • Steller sea lions, the largest of the eared seals, were first added to
    the Endangered Species List in 1990 because of steep declines in their
    population; humans who felt the animals were eating their fishing catch
    shot them. ... Sea lions can also be threatened by trash in the oceans.
    • They are carnivores. They eat fishes.

    four species found in Asia. These species range in size from
    30 to 100 cm. they are less in the world but some of them are
    found in India also.
    • Why are pangolins endangered?
    • Pangolins are often highly hunted. They are hunted because
    of their skin, scales, meat, and some of their body parts are
    used in making traditional medicine.
    • They are carnivores. They eat small insects.

    the pheasant family. With its characteristic call of "wet my lips", this species of
    quail is more often heard than seen
    Why are quails endangered?
    And so it is with masked bobwhite quail, the only quail in the United States
    considered endangered with extinction. ... According to accounts of many
    observers, it was considered extinct by the 1920s. Fortuitously, populations of
    birds were rediscovered in Sonora in the 1960s.
    Quails are omnivores, although 95% of their diet is composed of plant matter.
    They eat mainly grass seeds and berries.
