Information about animal extinction

Species classification: Chordata phylum->; Vertebrate subfamily->; -& gt； Bird-> Today's bird subclass->; -& gt； Current clamping sequence-> -& gt； -& gt； -& gt； -& gt； -& gt； -& gt；

Distribution: It is speculated that they may migrate from Siberia to South Korea and Japan every winter.

Animal Description: Researchers first discovered this new species of Kuroda Yangbi Duck in a Japanese painting made 40 years ago, and later discovered this species in an earlier Japanese bird book, and named it "Korean Mandarin Duck". Some people think that Japanese Haruhiko Kuroda's golden duck was brought from North Korea about 200 years ago.

The body feather of Kuroda Yangbi duck is black, with a large white spot on its wings, which is very eye-catching, and the color of its beak and feet is orange. The living habits of Kuroda's snub-nosed ducks are unknown, but it is inferred that they may migrate from Siberia to South Korea and Japan every winter. Researchers can only use three specimens to prove that Kuroda's golden duck really lives in North Korea. One of the only three specimens of Kuroda-nosed duck is female, which was taken near Busan in June of 19 16 12. This specimen is now kept in the Museum of National University in Copenhagen, Denmark, and the other two specimens are kept in a professional college of birds in Tokyo, Japan. Kuroda's golden duck is listed as an endangered animal by the International Conservation Association. 1964, two former Soviet ornithologists reported that they had found three Kuroda-nosed ducks, but unfortunately they failed to provide enough evidence. The last time they appeared in North Korea was in 19 16 12, and there was no trace of this duck after that. Therefore, North Korean zoologists tend to come to the conclusion that Kuroda's snub-nosed duck is actually extinct long ago.

The extinction time of Kuroda Golden Duck:1916 65438+February.

Chinese name: New Zealand myna

Species classification: Chordata phylum->; Vertebrate subfamily->; -& gt； Bird-> Today's bird subclass->; -& gt； Current clamping sequence-> -& gt； -& gt； -& gt； -& gt； -& gt； -& gt；

Distribution: lives in the dense forests of the northern islands of New Zealand.

Animal Description: New Zealand myna is a bird unique to New Zealand. They live in the dense forests of the northern islands of New Zealand and often chirp. Although males and females live together. But they need a large sphere of influence, so their original number is very small. Because the virgin forests here are full of rain, they are often called rain birds.

New Zealand starlings are about 0.5 meters long and have a long white tail with black and white patterns on their bodies. Their characteristic is their mouths. Whether male or female, the corners of the mouth are completely different, and there are conspicuous meat pendants on both sides. They feed on insects. When looking for food, male birds and kind birds have different division of labor because of their different mouths. The female bird's mouth is long and curved, which is suitable for foraging in the cracks of small trees. Like woodpeckers, males have to peck the bark off their mouths to look for bugs in cracks, while females often look for bugs in small holes that males can't cope with. Scientists began to mistake them for two different birds.

Maori regard New Zealand myna as a sacred symbol. Whenever they hold a ceremony, the elders of the clan always bring New Zealand starlings to worship God. They also believe that if a newly married man dreams of a bird, he will have children. If it's a New Zealand starling, it must be a female. If it is a white deer, it must be a boy. 1835, the missionary William first let Europeans know the existence of New Zealand starlings. The capture of New Zealand starlings by indigenous people for a ceremony did not reduce their number, but as European immigrants came to the island to reclaim virgin forests, their survival was completely destroyed and birds became victims at gunpoint. Soon, the real threat came. At the beginning of the 20th century, the then British king and his wife visited New Zealand and were warmly welcomed by the local people. The king put the feathers of New Zealand myna presented by local people in his hat, and local people, European aristocrats and rich people followed suit. On February 28th, the last New Zealand starling died in the forest.

Chinese name: Norwalk sheep pecking parrot

Species classification: Chordata phylum->; Vertebrate subfamily->; -& gt； Bird-> Today's bird subclass->; -& gt； Current clamping sequence-> Parrot->; -& gt； -& gt； Nautilidae->; -& gt； -& gt；

Distribution: norfolk island is located in the southwest Pacific Ocean.

Description: Nowak Island is located in the southwest of the Pacific Ocean, with a distance of 1.676 km. It is an overseas territory of Australia.

Papilio Norwalk, as a member of Papilio of Nautilidae, is only distributed in Norwalk Island and Phillip Island. Norwalk pecks parrots with beautiful appearance and colorful feathers. It is 0.38 meters long, with brown forehead, light brown-gray neck, orange or reddish cheeks, yellow chest and abdomen, and brown wings and tail feathers.

Unfortunately, up to now, people's understanding of the life habits of Norwalk sheep pecking parrots is still very limited, except that they may like to live in the bush area on the edge of the forest. The reason is that they were seen foraging and playing in the rocks of Phillip Island. People don't know what Norwalk pecked at sheep parrots. It is said that they may feed on hibiscus plants. As for the reproductive characteristics of the Norwalk parrot, people know nothing about it. The only information related to reproduction is that four white eggs were found in their nest. The only certainty about Norwalk's sheep-pecking parrots is that they are very docile, lively and cheerful, and they are very suitable for being caged as ornamental birds.

Before European explorers and colonists landed on Norwalk Island, Norwalk sheep pecking parrots were in good condition in the natural state, and the population remained at a fairly high level. However, after the European colonists landed on Norwalk Island, the original living order and living environment of the creatures on the island were immediately destroyed. The unscrupulous and irrational hunting activities of foreign invaders on the island have led to a sharp decline in the number of parrots pecked by Norwalk sheep in a short time, which directly led to the extinction of this species in the wild. 185 1 year, the last Norfolk parrot died in a birdcage in London, England, which declared that it and its companions were completely defeated by human attacks, and at the same time announced that it and its companions had to quit the animal world.

The extinction time of Norwalk sheep pecking parrot: 185 1 year.

The above is only a small part ... Humans have killed too many animals.

Information about endangered animals

I. Ancient National Treasure: Giant Panda English: Ailurpoda melanolenca Giant Panda is a carnivore that mainly eats bamboo. It is not only rare, endangered and special, but also very old, and is known as a "living fossil". At the same time, ancient animals such as saber-toothed tiger, mammoth and giant tapir were extinct due to glacier invasion, but the giant panda survived by retreating into the valley. Now it is only distributed in the green hills and bamboo forests of about 40 counties in China, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, and lives in seclusion. Legend has it that in the past, giant pandas were white. At an animal funeral, in order to express their grief, they painted coal ash on their arms and hugged each other, forming a black color that extended to their backs, wiping their tears and blackening their eyes ... This is of course a fabrication, but giant pandas, like many animals, are on the verge of extinction. The reason is nothing more than the expansion of human activities, which makes it retreat to the top of the mountain, isolated in distribution, poor in food and spouse resources, serious in inbreeding, poor in physique and weak in disease resistance. At present, the total number is only 1 1,000, which is listed as a first-class protected animal, IUCN Red Book Endangered Species. As China's "national treasure" and "friendship ambassador", china wildlife conservation association and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) chose it as the emblem.

Second, upturned nose and blue face: golden monkey English name: Snnb-nose golden monkey scientific name: Rhinpitheius roxellanae China golden monkey includes Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. Because Yunnan golden monkeys live in the snow-capped fir forests in remote Yunnan and Tibet, the number is only over 1,000, while Guizhou golden monkeys are only distributed in Fan Jing, Guizhou, and the number is only over 700. The most familiar ones are Sichuan golden monkey and Sichuan golden monkey, which are distributed in Sichuan. Wearing a golden cloak, climbing trees, jumping and prancing. When the golden monkey was first named, because of its upturned nose and golden hair, Mr. Edward, a zoologist, thought of Rocina, the wife of the European Crusader Commander, so he gave the golden monkey a beautiful name (see the scientific name of the golden monkey). Golden monkey belongs to primate, monkey family and golden monkey genus. In this golden monkey genus, there is another golden monkey family outside China, namely Vietnamese golden monkey. This is a small long-tailed vegetarian monkey with a black abdomen and light yellow limbs. 19 10 years was discovered and disappeared for half a century. 1989 discovered that there are only 200 monkeys living in northern Vietnam. All three golden monkeys are first-class protected animals. Yunnan golden monkey and Guizhou golden monkey belong to "endangered" in IUCN Red Book, while Sichuan golden monkey belongs to "vulnerable" (Vietnamese golden monkey is extremely dangerous). They are all threatened by poaching, logging, deforestation and habitat retreat, which can be described as "the tree falls apart"!

Yangtze River Monster: Baiji Dolphin English Name: Yangtze Dolphin Scientific Name: Lipotes vexlifer Baiji Dolphin is a unique aquatic beast in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. There are more than 70 species of dolphins in the world, only 5 species of freshwater, and China is the only freshwater whale. Narrow distribution, older and rarer than giant pandas. Baiji dolphin has a graceful figure, smooth skin, a sword-like kiss and a spindle shape. Eyes as small as beans, ears as small as needles, there are more than 130 small teeth in the upper and lower jaws, and there is a round nostril in the upper left of the head. Although the audio-visual ability is not good, the sonar system is developed, and the ultrasonic echo positioning ability is beyond the reach of any modern submarine. When the group is dispersed, they can use high-frequency sonar to get in touch with their companions more than ten kilometers away. The baiji dolphin was named after the first specimen collected by French zoologist Miller in Dongting Lake in 19 18. In fact, China people have already described it, such as Er Ya in Han Dynasty and Compendium of Materia Medica in Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, Pu Songling even wrote a love story between Bai Qiulian and the sunset in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, and Bai Qiulian was the embodiment of the baiji. Baiji dolphin is a beautiful and legendary animal, which is doomed to extinction in our hands. It is called "a living and dead species" by international conservationists. At present, there is only one artificially raised, named Qiqi. Reclaiming land from lakes, harmful fishing gear, damming, busy shipping, fishing and serious pollution are all threatening its survival. It has been listed as an "extremely endangered" species in the IUCN Red Book, and it is also a first-class protected animal in China.

4. Soul of China: South China Tiger English Name: Chinese tigris amoyensis South China Tiger Scientific Name: Panthera tigris amoyensis South China Tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis) is a subspecies endemic to China. It was originally the most widely distributed, largest and smaller tiger species in China, but it has the oldest qualification. There is only one kind of tiger in the world, both of which are produced in Asia. In the last century, there were eight subspecies of Bengal tiger, Northeast tiger, Java tiger, South China tiger, Lihai tiger, Bali tiger and Sumatra tiger, but the last three subspecies became extinct one after another. China's Xinjiang tiger (which subspecies is unknown) became extinct in the early 20th century. The male weight of South China Tiger is about 149-225 kg, and the female weight is about 90- 120 kg. Although it is not the biggest, it has a lasting influence on China's national culture. People talk about it, fear it, respect it, and think that "tigers eat people" is deeply rooted. But as a result, the tiger was almost eaten up by humans. South China tigers are in an endangered state, with about 20 wild tigers distributed on isolated islands and few prey. The 50 animals raised artificially are close relatives, and the degradation phenomenon is very obvious. We can't even protect this big cat, which is a symbol of the national spirit of "tiger and tiger" and "dragon and tiger leap". Can we still protect ourselves? The disappearance of the tiger will herald the loss of human soul. Tigers have several peculiar colors, such as the white tiger in Leyva, Madhya Pradesh, Hei Hu in Dongling, Hebei, China (extinct at the end of 19), and the blue tiger in Fujian, China (extinct). South China Tiger is listed as "endangered" by IUCN Red Book, which is a first-class protected animal in China.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Pearl of the Orient: Zhu English name: Crested Ibis scientific name: Nipponia nippon If you ask what is the rarest bird in China, Zhu should be among the best. This beautiful wading bird was praised by zoologists as the "Oriental Pearl" and was once considered extinct. They were originally endemic to East Asia and only distributed in China, Korea and Russia, but all of them disappeared after 1960s. Did Zhu really disappear? In the late 1970s, ornithologists in China began to look for crested ibis. 198 1 year, two nests of ***7 crested ibis were finally discovered in Yaojiagou, Yangxian County, Shaanxi Province, which caused a sensation in the world. The crested ibis survived because there are natural conditions suitable for its survival in the deep mountains of Yangxian County, one is the condition of foraging in wetlands, the other is the condition of eating big trees and nesting; People here didn't cut down the forest because they respected the graves of their ancestors, which provided this strange bird with a chance to survive. The high endangerment of crested ibis is related to over-hunting, sharp decline of forests and extensive use of pesticides and fertilizers. According to a superstitious legend, Zhu's "bird" is literally an endangered bird, because it consists of the word "four" and "mourning". How can the "bird of death" never stop? However, the people of Yangxian county did not believe in evil and paid a huge price for the protection of crested ibis. In crested ibis' feeding ground, they don't use pesticides and fertilizers, don't catch loaches and frogs, and let crested ibis come and go. At the beginning of the new century, the number of crested ibis in China has reached 248, which can be said to have got rid of the doom of extinction or even high endangered. IUCN Red Book "Endangered".

Six, can be called the national bird: brown-eared pheasant English name: Crossoptilon mantchuricum brown-eared pheasant is a rare bird, produced in Pangquangou, Shanxi, China, Xiaowutai Mountain, Hebei, Mentougou, Beijing and other places. Because its ears are composed of two white ear feathers, it looks like a long horn, or some people call it a horn chicken or an ear chicken. The tail feather hangs down like a ponytail, hence the name horse. There are four species of Equus, all of which are produced in China, namely kurama, White Horse, Blue Horse and Brown Horse. Although brown-eared pheasant is called chicken, its feathers are dark brown and shiny, which is naturally more magical. It is brave and good at fighting, and would rather die than surrender. In Pangquangou Brown Pheasant Nature Reserve in Shanxi Province, farmers saw the scene of brown Pheasant fighting with eagle. The two birds twisted into a ball and rolled around. The eagle's claws caught the chicken's neck, and the chicken's claws caught the eagle's eyes. It's tragic that both sides lost. It is precisely because brown-eared pheasants are brave and aggressive that it was recorded in China as early as the Han Dynasty that they decorated their tail feathers with military commanders' helmets to show their bravery. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the warrior corps commander wanted to be crowned with "feather". Cao * once said: "The brown-eared pheasant is fierce and will die, which makes people take it as the crown." Li Mingzhizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica that brown-eared pheasants "eat together, and those who are invaded fight for straightness, although they are worried about death." (Brown-eared pheasant was called "stork" in ancient times) The form of giving its feathers to military commanders is called "crown system". This feather hat was honored until the Qing Dynasty. Brown-eared pheasant is as famous as the giant panda in the world, and has been put on its emblem by the World Pheasant Association. Many zoologists suggested that brown eared pheasant should be the national bird of China. At present, brown-eared pheasant belongs to "endangered" category in IUCN Red Book, which is a first-class protected animal.

Seven, vestige species: Chinese Alligator English name: Chinese alligator scientific name: Alligator sinensis Chinese alligator is the only crocodile species in China. There are 25 kinds of crocodiles in the world, and China only has bay crocodiles and Chinese alligators. However, as the largest crocodile (10 meter long), the Gulf crocodile became extinct hundreds of years ago. The Chinese alligator is unique to China and the only surviving species distributed in temperate zones from ancient north. As a reptile, the Chinese alligator is 2 meters long. It is good at swimming and inhabits the water. Its nest is in shallow rivers, lakes and grasslands with dense vegetation. In winter, the Chinese alligator hides in an underground cave, which is 2-3 meters deep and has 1-3 exits. There are ventilation holes at the top of the cave. This cave is a tunnel several meters to 20 meters long, which is covered with dead wood and weeds. Chinese alligator, the staple food is snails, frogs, shrimps, crabs, fish, rats, birds and so on. When you meet bigger prey, you will be hit by their thick tails, and you can stay away from food for a long time after a full meal. At present, due to the serious destruction of wetlands in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, rivers and lakes are surrounded by farmland, and wild populations are extremely scarce, and artificial reproduction is quite successful. IUCN Red Book of International Union for Conservation of Nature is extremely dangerous. First-class protected animals.

Eight, the plateau god bird: Black-necked Crane English name: black-necked crane scientific name: Grus nigricollis Black-necked crane is the only plateau crane in the world, a god bird in the eyes of the Tibetan people, and the latest recorded crane among the 15 kinds of cranes in the world. On 1876, it was discovered in Qinghai Lake, China by Russian explorer Puge Varski. Black-necked cranes breed in Tibet in summer, migrate to Yunnan and Guizhou in winter, and a few fly over the Himalayas to Bhutan for the winter. The neck, tail and wing feathers of the black-necked crane are all black, the body is gray, and there is also a red top on its head, but it is not as obvious as the red-crowned crane. As a bird inhabiting the plateau meadow swamp, it once lived and flew in the "unattainable" Yunnan-Guizhou Tibet, and it will not compete with the world. However, in recent years, the development of wetlands and the drainage of swamps have made these plateau wading birds face the threat of losing their homes. According to the survey of the International Crane Foundation, Tibet has the largest population of black-necked cranes in China and even in the world, with an estimated 4,000. At present, it has been listed as a vulnerable and first-class protected animal by IUCN Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

9. Snow wyndell dichinson: Tibetan Antelope English name: Tibetan antelope scientific name: Pantholops hodgsonii Tibetan antelope, which has aroused great concern of the world in recent years, mainly because the consumption demand of "Tibetan antelope shawl" in western fashion since 1980 has stimulated poachers to kill for money, and some gold miners have also killed them at will. In order to crack down on poaching, the forestry police, the anti-poaching force in Qinghai, Xinjiang and Tibet, has been fighting for the protection of wild animals such as Tibetan antelope in recent years, among which the "Wild Yak Team" is the best, and two of them have dedicated their lives to it. Tibetan antelope is an endemic species in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, belonging to Artiodactyla and Bovidae, which is closely related to the high-nosed antelope that has just been extinct for half a century in China. There were millions of Tibetan antelopes, also known as unicorns, a century ago. Known by Tibetans as friends of geese, they run like flies on the plateau, which is difficult for wolves to catch up with, but poachers equipped with cars and guns can kill them to pieces. At present, there are less than 70,000 Tibetan antelopes in China, but due to illegal trade and slaughter, their number has dropped sharply year by year, and they are currently listed as. The first-class protected animals are "endangered" in the IUCN Red Book.

X. Recovering: "Four Elephants" Elk English Name: Pere David'deer Scientific Name: Elaphurus davidianus "Four Elephants" is the common name of Elk. As a unique wetland deer in China, it became extinct in China in 1900. Fortunately, there are a few in Europe, and only 18 is kept in Ubon, England. 1985 returned to Nanhaizi, Beijing, which is the origin of the type specimens of elk species (1865 was discovered by the French missionary David) and the location of the Royal Hunting Park in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Elk is a wetland animal. Due to the adaptation to the wetland habitat, a special form has been formed, that is, the so-called "four unlike", with horns like deer instead of deer, face like horse instead of horse, hoof like cow and tail like donkey. China elk returned to 38 in the first batch from 1985, and after stocking in Nanhaizi 1,000-mu deer park in Beijing, they gradually multiplied and moved to Shishou, Hubei Province, on the bank of the Yangtze River, successfully completing the project of returning to the wild. In addition, the elk along the Yellow Sea in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province are also very prosperous. In addition, by the beginning of 200 1, the number of elk raised in more than 20 zoos in China will reach 1300. The success of the restoration and release of elk is an achievement of wildlife protection in China. It is not only a living teaching material for patriotism education, but also an important example to show the public the possibility and necessity of coordinated development between man and nature. Elk is a first-class protected animal, IUCN Red Book, which is extremely dangerous. Sample text

12 world endangered animal species

1. Alias baiji and baiji belong to Cetaceae, and the scientific name is LipotesvexilliferMiller, which belongs to Cetaceae and Baiji.

The distinctive feature is that the snout is long and narrow, about 300 mm long. The forehead is round and high. The dorsal fin is triangular, located in 3/5 of the body, and has a low skin ridge connected with the caudal fin. There is a breathing hole on the left side of the head that can be opened and closed freely. The caudal fin is horizontal, concave to the edge and crescent-shaped. The population of baiji dolphin is very small, which is a rare aquatic animal endemic to China and needs to be protected urgently. Produced in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the main streams of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu. They have lived in the Yangtze River for about 25 million years and are called "living fossils". Because of its small number, it is listed as a national first-class protected wild animal.

2. There are only 20 wild Sumatran tigers. With the extinction of Barry Tiger and Sea Tiger in the 1940s and 1970s, it is predicted that this species will also disappear from the earth in the near future.

3. Garamba National Park in Congo There are less than 25 northern white rhinos left in the world, and it is possible that the northern white rhinoceros will completely disappear from the earth. There are great genetic differences between northern white rhinoceros and southern African white rhinoceros. They once multiplied in Uganda, but gradually disappeared due to neglect of local protection. In Guaramba National Park, their number reached 35 in the late 1980s and 30 in April 2003. Then six were killed and four were born. Last month, two elephants were hunted and nearly 1000 elephants were killed.

4.Orinocidae crocodile fish: the largest carnivore in South America and one of the most endangered species on the planet 12.

5.monachus-monachus ormonkseal According to experts' estimation, there are only 500 in the world, living in the Mediterranean Sea, and being affected by the deterioration of seawater and beach ecological environment, they are killed in large numbers by fishermen.
