Giant panda is a national treasure of our country, is a model of our country's protection of wild animals, more in a very time to represent the image of our country, often leased by other countries to go abroad for exhibition, deeply loved by people all over the world, under the careful care of our country, now the giant panda has got rid of the fate of endangerment, with the establishment of more nature reserves, the number of giant pandas living in the wild is also increasing.
Although the giant panda has been relatively safe, but in China, there are still many wild animals in the number of much less than the giant panda, they are always on the verge of extinction, today, we will understand these wild animals.
First place, spotted turtle
There is no doubt that the spotted turtle is the smallest number of wild animals in China, only 1, from the perspective of natural reproduction, the spotted turtle has actually become extinct. At present, only hope can be placed on the development of cloning technology.
In fact, before 2015, the turtle still had the opportunity to reproduce, but the last female turtle left forever after five consecutive years of artificial insemination, which has to be regretted that this protection seems to be a bit too hasty.
Second place, Far Eastern Leopard
At present, there are less than ten Far Eastern leopards in China, and the Far Eastern leopard mainly lives in the northeast of China, living on the border with North Korea and Siberia, and there may be less than thirty in Siberia.
Like the Siberian tiger, the Far Eastern leopard has overlapping living areas, and due to the cold weather, it is larger than leopards in other regions, and can also hunt large prey, which is a more ferocious leopard than the snow leopard.
Third place, Chinese pangolin
Chinese pangolins used to be all over the country, they are good at digging holes and swimming, whether they are in mountainous areas or dense forests, but unfortunately, there are only 11 left now, almost extinct.
The sharp decline of pangolin is mainly due to its medicinal value, since ancient times, my Chinese medicine has used its scales as an important drug to stop bleeding and stasis, and modern research has found that in essence, the scales of pangolins are no different from our human nails, they are all cuticles.
As china removes pangolins from the Pharmacopoeia, it is hoped that the Chinese pangolins, as a national first-class protected animal, will not stay away from us.
Fourth place, Hainan black-crowned gibbon
At present, there are only 18 black-crowned gibbons in China, and 6 females. With only seven or eight in the late 1980s, and only recovered a little after decades of protection and reproduction, the protection of this primate has a long way to go, it is very difficult, and the slightest carelessness will become extinct.
The Hainan black-crowned gibbon is a unique animal in Hainan, China, feeding on fruits and small mammals and bird eggs, monogamous, small family mode of life and foraging. Today, it exists in the Bawangling National Nature Reserve in China.
Fifth place, South China Tigers
South China tiger only lives in China, is China's unique tiger, so also known as the Chinese tiger, South China tiger is widely distributed, in addition to South China is its main living area, in North China and Northwest China have its traces of activity, in North China and Northeast Tiger hybrid, in the northwest and Xinjiang tiger hybrid, so in the Yangtze River as the dividing line of the northern tiger and different, there are striped tigers, blue tigers and other legends.
There are currently about 110 South China tigers in the country, all of which live in zoos, and have now disappeared in the wild.
Sixth place, Yangzi crocodile
Yangtze crocodile is a unique crocodile in China's Yangtze River Basin, one of the smallest crocodiles in the world, compared to large crocodiles such as Nile crocodiles, they are much kinder, but also very cute, loved by people.
At present, there are about 130 to 150 wild Yangzi crocodiles, but a breeding base for wild Yangzi crocodiles has been established, and some seedlings are released every year, hoping that in the near future, this ancient creature like a living fossil can continue to multiply.
Seventh place, Asian elephant
China's wild Asian elephants about 180 or so, mainly living in the border area of Yunnan, migration between China and Myanmar, so the protection of Asian elephants is a matter of cooperation, at present, in our country to establish a nature reserve, the Asian elephant damage to food will also be compensated, so the local people on the protection of Asian elephants has become a consensus, I believe that in the future, Asian elephants will still be active on the earth.
Eighth place, Golden Snub-nosed Monkey
Qianjin snub-nosed monkey is the smallest number of golden snub-nosed monkey species in China, they only live in Guizhou Wuling Mountain Fanjing Mountain, the current number is about eight hundred, with the development of natural tourism in Fanjing Mountain in recent years, the living area of Qianjin Snub-nosed Monkey has also been disturbed, however, with the improvement of people's quality, the protection of wild animals and tourism is not in conflict, but it is still necessary to protect wild animals and strengthen protection.
Ninth place, North China Leopard
The number of North China leopards has rebounded in recent years, reaching more than 1,500, mainly due to the effective work of returning farmland to forests and the relocation of mountainous areas, returning the mountainous areas to wild animals, and now, in Gansu and other regions, the North China leopards that have not been seen for decades have gradually reappeared.
It is believed that with the further increase of nature conservation, the future of the North China leopard is bright.
Nowadays, the number of giant pandas has recovered to nearly two thousand, and the efforts to protect wild animals are becoming more and more effective, and I hope that everyone can love and consciously protect wild animals, save these nine wild animals that are rarer than giant pandas, and leave more wildlife partners for future generations.
