Threatened means that the animal is vulnerable to extinction and the population of the animal is declining. (ex: Certain species of whale population are being threatened.) Endangered means that the animal will soon be extinct if nothing is done about it. Some endangered animals are being bred in captivity until their numbers increase enough to be released back in the wild. (ex: Bald Eagles are an endangered species of bird. Pandas are an endangered species of bear.) Extinct means that the animal has completely died out and there aren't any left of this species. (ex: Dinosaurs are an extinct species of reptile. Dodo is an extinct bird.) Here's a visual: Threatened-------------> Endangered---------------> Extinct
A species is considered endangered when it is at a very high risk of extinction in the near future. A species is considered threatened when it is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future if threats continue.
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!!!!!!
CITES - the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
Endangered, threatened, and extinct animals are all classifications based on their risk of extinction. Endangered animals are at high risk of extinction, threatened animals are at moderate risk, and extinct animals no longer exist in the wild. These classifications help prioritize conservation efforts to protect vulnerable species and preserve biodiversity.
No, it is illegal to hunt threatened or endangered species in the United States. These animals are protected under the Endangered Species Act to prevent further harm to their populations. Violating these protections can result in severe penalties.
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.
no. threatened species are close but not yet there to being endangered.
It is a endangered species .
An endangered species is near extinction
An endangered species is near extinction
A species is considered endangered when it is at a very high risk of extinction in the near future. A species is considered threatened when it is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future if threats continue.
There are turtles that are endangered, but they are not entirely endangered or threatened as a species.
different species are endangered and some are threatened. Some are even extinct.
They are both. Endangered means a species is threatened to extinction, and they must be saved.
Endangered species is closer to extinction than threatened ones. Vulnerables species are those that aren't protected and/or isolated.
Both species are endangered.
Both species of chimpanzee are endangered.
