Gorillas are mostly endangered because of poaching and smaller habitats. They are killed or fur and for their skulls that are displayed in poachers houses. Also the reduction of habitats is killing them. They need a large area to mate and live since they are always walking around. The forests and jungles have been cut down and gorillas have been forced to all move in one little area. This is over-population. Since all the gorillas share the land they share the food within the land. Eventually all the food is little and cannot support the group. Then the group slowly dies. This is why the gorillas are endangered.

Differentiaate between endangered species and threatened species?

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


When was the gray wolf put on the endangered species list?

The gray wolf put on the endangered species list in the 1970s, but is now listed as an animal of least concern. This means that there are large numbers of gray wolves in the world and they are no longer considered endangered.


What are the similarities between an endangered animal vs threatened animal vs extinct animal?

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.
