Want this question answered?
larger populations
no. threatened species are close but not yet there to being endangered.
Endangered species is closer to extinction than threatened ones. Vulnerables species are those that aren't protected and/or isolated.
It is more than endangered, it is critically endangered.
Extinct means there are none of that species in the wild, threatened means the number of that species is declining, and endangered means there are only a few thousand of that species in the wild.
Actually, it is worse than threatened. The dugong is on the endangered species list. The dugong is actually not yet an endangered species. Listed as "Vulnerable" by the IUCN.
Yes. These species are considerably lower than other species in numbers, due to hunting, habitat destruction, or other means. These animals can have from 1,000 to 10,000 left to be considered endangered. Critically endangered species have 200 or less left.
The official list shows 1030 species, but it is likely higher than that. It is really difficult to say accurately, because there are a number if designations, in order of increasing threat; threatened, vulnerable, endangered, critically endangered, extinct in the wild, etc.
Polar bears are not the most endangered animal ,but they are an endangered species.
Threatened species means that the population is less than it usually was, and endangered means that there are very few left. Endangered means that the population is low and threatened means that the population is almost died out. YAY!!!!!!
On the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species, they are listed under the classification of "vulnerable". Vulnerable is a subcategory of the status of Threatened of which Endangered and Critically Endangered also fall. They are also listed as Threatened in the US Fish and Wildlife Services' Endangered Species List. The IUCN lists the trend in population as "decreasing" and attribute it mostly to habitat changes caused by melting of the sea ice.
Well since there is 440 species of sharks that are all very different it is impossible to say that they are all either definitively endangered or threatened. However, it appears that the majority of the sharks that are the most well known (Tiger, Great White, Bull, Hammerhead, Mako, Lemon, etc.) are in the threatened zone rather than the endangered zone.
