The Coqui is becoming endangered because of it's habitat, or environment being destroyed. The main reason it's habitat is being destroyed is due to the increase in humans necessity for space and houses being built and the agricultural expansion. In addition, the Coqui has a low reproductive rate, meaning that there are not too many mating and having babies, so the population is slowly diminishing.

In some species the male spider seems to sacrifice itself after mating. In some species the female spider is very likely to try to catch and eat the male after mating.

What are some reasons for giant pandas becoming endangered?
Giant Pandas were classified as an endangered species in the 1980s, and are on the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Animals. The United States' Endangered Species Act protects the Giant Panda, as does the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). They're endangered primarily due to either loss or fragmentation of their habitat. With Giant Pandas, there are additional challenges with mating success, digestive illnesses, and maintaining a reliable and plentiful food supply. For example, in addition to the occasional "die off" of bamboo, the main food source for the Giant Panda, the catastrophic earthquake of 2008 severely damaged both habitat and food supply.

Do blue morpho butterflies migrate?
Yes, many moths are "endangered." Anyone who tells you otherwise is not aware of the facts.But there is more than one way to answer your question (even if "yes" is always the answer). First, I assume by "endangered" you mean that they are listed by a government as being in danger of extinction if not protected. If that is what you mean, then there are several "endangered" moths, two of which are in the United States. Those are the Blackburn's sphinx and the Kern primrose sphinx. You can find the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website's endangered species list here: www.fws.gov/endangered/. But each state in the United States can maintain their own list of threatened or endangered species, and some do not use the federal government's terminology, mostly because those are legal terms associated with the federal list. Some states have Species in Need of Conservation, and certainly many states have moths listed. The federal listing bears more weight than the state's listing, if individuals are found to be in violation of the protection rights given by the Endangered Species Act. Not all countries maintain endangered species lists the same way that the U.S. government does, nor do they define "threatened" or "endangered" the same way. These are legal terms--not terms that state a certain reality. Some species are in peril, but are not on any list because of a lack of information and funding to obtain the information.Because of the lack of information needed to list an animal according to the Endangered Species Act, and because it takes time, expertise, and money to list an organism, many plants and animals are not listed when they should be. Many would argue that all of the large moths in the United States should be on the Endangered Species List, if not endangered, then threatened.One worldwide threatened species list can be found at http://www.iucnredlist.org/. Note that the worldwide term is "threatened" and not "endangered." If you type "moth" into the search engine, you will find many moths listed not only as threatened, but as extinct!Many lepidopterists (those who study moths and butterflies) have noticed a sharp decline in the large moths worldwide. They believe this could be caused by an increase in the use of lights at night, which interferes with male mating behavior. It also might be due to pesticides or other environmental factors such as climate change.
How many bald eagles are estimated to be living toady?
