How many bongos are there left in the world?:

Well, I did a HUGE research report on this species, and a fact I picked up from one of my sources was that there are about 28, 000 bongos in the world. They live mainly in Africa and in zoos throughout the world. The Eastern mountain bongo is endangered, however, and the whole species has been put together under the category of "near threatened. That is because of the human being. Bongos are hunted illegally and legally throughout Africa and the United States. They are smuggled from Africa to America so they may be shot and mounted on a wall. Illegal logging in the Eburu and Mau forests has destroyed bngno habitat as well. In the 1890s, a deadly disease that spread from Africa to Asia eliminated almost the entire species. This disease is known as rinderpest. Rinderpest started out infecting cattle, then moved on to some bigger game. Some other predators include the leopard, spotted hyena, and python. The lion is rarely seen as to be a pillager of this animal.
