What was the first endangered animal in the world?

Answer 1

doesn't really work like that.

Species have appeared and died out as long as there has been Life on Earth. It really doesn't make sense to try and pick a "first to be endangered".

You'd need to add something, like "first to be endangered by human actions" perhaps.
