Of the 8 million animal species on Earth, many are on the verge of extinction. In question, the Man of course, and his incredible capacity to promote destroy on child entry! Discover in pictures the 10 most rare animals on the planet, those that you are not likely to cross on your way.

1. Le rhinocéros blanc du Nord :

The Kenyan Reserve "El Pijita" announced that the last male in the world of the northern white rhinoceros died on March 19, 201/8 at the age of 45, leaving only two females of his offspring alive in the world. The reserve said that it decided, along with wildlife officials and the authorities that took care of the rhinoceros, to kill him with mercy. Because of the rapid deterioration in his health.

And he was being treated for complications of old age, which affected his muscles and bones and caused many skin wounds, All attempts to marry a rhinoceros into one of the two females have failed: "Nagin", 27, and "Fatou", 17; Who are still alive.

2. The giant squid :

For thousands of years, many legends have recounted the supposed existence of a huge tentacle sea monster. The giant squid, which lives in the great depths of the oceans, is so rare that it has hardly ever been filmed or photographed. It is therefore not known how many specimens there are in the wild or how big they are, although they are estimated to be between 10 and 20 meters in length.

3. The Pacific porpoise:

 With nearly 30 individuals still alive, the Pacific porpoise is one of the rarest and most endangered animals on the planet. This cetacean, which is the smallest in the world, lives alone in shallow water in the northern Gulf of California.

4. The Florida panther :

 Despite all efforts to perpetuate the species that lived throughout the Southeastern United States, there are believed to be only 50 individuals living in South Florida.

5. The dwarf sloth :

The dwarf sloth is much smaller than its larger cousin and lives only in mangrove forests on an island in Panama, Escudo de Veraguas Island. The exact number of dwarf sloths still alive is not known, but it is estimated to be around a hundred.

        

6. The bigmouth shark :

Discovered in 1976, the bigmouth shark is distinguished, as its name suggests, by its enormous mouth which can measure up to 1 meter in length. Even better, its head is half the length of its body. When we know that this shark is just over 5 meters long, we imagine that it must be particularly impressive. However, it will be difficult for you to come across them as there are only a few hundred individuals left in the wild.

7. The bald ibis :

The bald ibis is a wading bird distinguished by its long bill, bare head, and particularly dense plumage around the neck. Rather large, this bird has an average wingspan of 1.30 meters when it spreads its wings. Due in part to hunting and pesticide poisoning, only 200 individuals are believed to be left in the wild.

8. The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat :

The northern hairy-nosed wombat is a bit larger than its cousin the common wombat. Indeed, this herbivore is 1 meter long and weighs around 40 kilos. Only 115 individuals still live in Australia, in the Queensland reserve.

9. The Hainan gibbon :

The Hainan gibbon is the rarest primate in the world. And for good reason, this endemic species of the island of Hainan, in China, would number no more than about thirty individuals, the rest of the population having been decimated by poachers or having disappeared due to deforestation.

10. Cantor's turtle :

Many species of turtles are becoming increasingly rare on the planet. This is particularly the case of the Cantor's tortoise, a giant tortoise that can measure up to 2 meters in length and has a particularly large head. His particuliarity ? She spends most of her time buried in the sand and only comes out twice a day to breathe!
