The Snow Leopard (雪豹) is a large cat native to the mountain ranges of central and southern Asia.
Well known for its beautiful fur, the Snow Leopard has a soft grey coat with ringed spots and small dots of black on brown. The fur turns white in the winter. Because their fur command a very high price in the fur market, during the 1960s, the Snow Leopard's total population went down to 1,000 animals, but has since recovered slightly. The total estimated wild population of the Snow Leopard is between 3,500 and 7,000 individuals (see table below). In addition, there are 600-700 animals in zoos around the
world.

The Javan Rhinoceros (爪哇犀牛) is one of the rarest and most endangered large mammals anywhere in the world. According to 2002 estimates, only about 60 remain alive, in Java, Indonesia and Vietnam. Even these tiny populations are still being poached and the outlook for the species is grim. Of all the rhino species (犀牛物种), the least is known of the Javan Rhino (爪哇犀牛), probably due to its low numbers.

The African Wild Dog(非洲野狗), also known as the African Hunting Dog(非洲猎狗), is endangered, primarily because of habitat loss and hunting as a result of human expansion along with growing farming and ranching needs. They were once found in 39 nations with an estimated population of500,000 dogs. Now of the 39 countries only 25 remain with an estimated population of 3,000 dogs.

Loggerhead Sea Turtle (蠵海龟,伐木头海龟?),in temperate and tropical regions of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans,was named for their relatively large heads and powerful jaws. It was once intensively hunted for their meat and eggs, along with their fat which was used in cosmetics and medication. As a result it is now internationally protected through the US, Turkey,Greece, Bonaire and Costa Rica. In the U.S., total estimates for loggerhead nests per year range from 68,000 to 90,000. The worldwide population is unknown, although most populations outside of U.S. waters are declining.

The California Condor(加州秃鹫)is a species of North American bird in the New World vulture family. Currently, this condor inhabits only the western coastal mountains of the United States, Baja California, and the Grand Canyon. Though never great, condor numbers dramatically declined in the 1800's due to poaching, lead poisoning, and habitat destruction. Eventually, a conservation plan was put in place that led to the capture of all the remaining wild condors in 1987 for captive breeding and later reintroducing back to the wild. The project is the most expensive species conservation project ever undertaken in the United States. The California Condor is currently one of the world's rarest bird species. As of 2005, there were only 273 individuals.

The Sea otter (海獭) is a large otter native to the North Pacific. Sea otters have been hunted extensively for their luxurious fur. From 1741 onwards, over-hunting reduced sea otter populations to the point of extermination in many parts of their historic range. It is estimated that a half million to a million otters were killed over time. By 1911 the world population was estimated to be just 1,000-2,000 individuals in 13 colonies. Although several subspecies are still endangered, the otters have since been legally protected
With humanbeings on Earth since then, we continue to evolve at the same time has beenhurt those lovely animals. They did not at fault, they are only in accordancewith the laws of nature live in peace. But since the existence of mankind ,their homes become increasingly small. Some animals have even become extinct.In the extinction of animal, the thylacine is the worst. Thylacine in a longtime ago to live in the vast prairie, they have been very happy, carefree.Since the arrival of human beings have changed their lives. Due to the largenumber of human enclosure, livestock grass makes less and less change to manyherbivores to move to other grasslands. This herbivorous animals to eat thewolf bag, there is no food. They steal human animals. Farmers would hate thewolf from the bag, see a killing one, on this last one wild thylacine was alsokilled. When people should be aware of extinct thylacine, the protection of thepark began last a thylacine, it thylacine only 48 days before the final days.And 48 days later, the Forever thylacine disappeared from the Earth, theForever! Of course, not all animals areextinct human killing, some changes in the environment are not suitedextinction. However, the extinction of some animals, human beings have anunshirkable responsibility. Since ancient times human beings have been cruel tothose animals alone, human deprivation of their right to live. Now seems tohave been aware of the extinction of an animal hazards. In order to make money,what people are willing to do so, they sell fur animals, shopping malls, themeat of animals sold to restaurants. But we can not shirk all responsibility tothe heads of traders, consumers also have the responsibility, if there is noconsumer demand then the traders will not take the risk. Human beings are stilleating wild animals. For example: the snake. If the extinction of the snakes,rats would wantonly breeding, then how do we ... ... So each has its biological significance ofthe existence, they are in the natural law of survival. If a broken food chain,then another will wantonly breeding animals, and even a threat to humanity, webear in mind the protection of animals. The protection of animals is to protecthuman beings themselves! 地球上的人类和许多动物都是地球母亲的儿女。地球好似一驾遨游太空的宇宙飞船,人类与许多动物共处在这个生态环境中。可我们人类占着自己高大、聪明,任意破坏动物们的居住环境,让它们无从生存。于是“珍惜地球,爱护动物”一时成了最热门的话题。 保护动物,是我们人人都要做到的,许多人任意去猎杀动物,虽然现在的人都说要保护动物,但是还有很多顽固的人不听,继续猎杀动物,人类拿动物来观赏、卖钱,用兽皮做大衣……但你们有没有想过,如果你是一只动物,却遭到了人类的猎杀,你会怎么想,你愿意吗,你愿意被猎杀吗?你绝对不愿意,有些人说:“我又不是动物。”但你们有没有想过动物们会怎么想吗?现在人类大量捕杀动物,动物会甘心吗?不,不会,永远不会。它们不愿意死在人类手里。它们愿意被你们猎杀吗?不,它们有一千个不愿意,一万个不愿意,一亿个不愿意…… 有些人虽然知道怎样去爱护动物,可是他们只会假惺惺地去教育别人,而自己却照样破坏环境,照样兴致勃勃品尝野味。 就拿印度洋毛里求斯群岛上生活的渡渡鸟来说,由于它身上的肉鲜美无比,所以遭到当时人类的大量捕食,在十七世纪就已告灭绝。但是如果当时人们有动物保护意识的话,就不会造成渡渡鸟的灭绝。 还有鲸,鲸不是让你们随意捕杀的,鲸是被杀掉一头就死一头的,不像小鱼小虾那样多,如果我们把鲸杀掉了,那我们的子孙后代,他们不是看不到鲸这种动物吗? 现在,有些动物已经灭绝了,鳄鱼虽然凶猛,但人类更凶猛。就是因为有些动物身上的器官具有突出的经济价值,由此成为被人类掠夺利用的对象,成为动物灭绝的主要因素。鳄鱼长着锐利的牙齿,和硕大的食物胃口,我们都说鳄鱼可怕,但鳄鱼更怕人类,在人类的眼中,鳄鱼皮可以制成行李箱,手提包,钱包,鞋等物品,所以鳄鱼,现在已经成为快要灭绝的动物了。 《金色的脚印》,这篇文章讲了正太郎家捉来了一只小狐狸,两只老狐狸想尽办法就救出小狐狸,正太郎很同情小狐狸,他偷偷地给老狐狸投送食物,于是,他们之间建立了亲密,信任的关系,后来两只老愿意被猎杀吗?你绝对不愿意,有些人说:“我又不是动物。”但你们有没有想过动物们会怎么想吗?现在人类大量捕杀动物,动物会甘心吗?不,不会,永远不会。它们不愿意死在人类手里。它们愿意被你们猎杀吗?不,它们有一千个不愿意,一万个不愿意,一亿个不愿意…… 有些人虽然知道怎样去爱护动物,可是他们只会假惺惺地去教育别人,而自己却照样破坏环境,照样兴致勃勃品尝野味。 就拿印度洋毛里求斯群岛上生活的渡渡鸟来说,由于它身上的肉鲜美无比,所以遭到当时人类的大量捕食,在十七世纪就已告灭绝。但是如果当时人们有动物保护意识的话,就不会造成渡渡鸟的灭绝。 还有鲸,鲸不是让你们随意捕杀的,鲸是被杀掉一头就死一头的,不像小鱼小虾那样多,如果我们把鲸杀掉了,那我们的子孙后代,他们不是看不到鲸这种动物吗? 现在,有些动物已经灭绝了,鳄鱼虽然凶猛,但人类更凶猛。就是因为有些动物身上的器官具有突出的经济价值,由此成为被人类掠夺利用的对象,成为动物灭绝的主要因素。鳄鱼长着锐利的牙齿,和硕大的食物胃口,我们都说鳄鱼可怕,但鳄鱼更怕人类,在人类的眼中,鳄鱼皮可以制成行李箱,手提包,钱包,鞋等物品,所以鳄鱼,现在已经成为快要灭绝的动物了。 《金色的脚印》,这篇文章讲了正太郎家捉来了一只小狐狸,两只老狐狸想尽办法就救出小狐狸,正太郎很同情小狐狸,他偷偷地给老狐狸投送食物,于是,他们之间建立了亲密,信任的关系,后来两只老狐狸是多么高兴!这篇文章赞美了人与动物之间互相信任,互相帮助,和谐相处的美好关系,也展现了动物之间的浓浓亲情。我们就要向正太郎学习,他帮助动物,动物也救了他,这样不是很好么?为什么人们还是要捕杀动物呢? 在此,我呼吁人们,不要再破坏自然界中的花草树木,不要再乱杀一禽一兽,不要再杀害我们的朋友,要保护好自然界中的一个个生灵。消灭动物,就是在消灭人类自己。如果有一天世界上的动物全都消失了,那人类还能生存吗?要保护动物,珍惜这自然界里的每一个生灵吧。 朋友们,动物是大自然留给人类的无价之宝,它是我们人类的朋友。它们的生衍死灭与我们人类的生活是密切相关的。动物的大量毁灭对人类将产生严重的不良后果,造成生态严重不平衡,从而使人类的生存环境遭到破坏。让我们从现在做起,从我做起,保护动物,使世界变得更美好吧!保护动物,就是保护人类自己!
