This feline can reach up to 1 meter in length and weigh 13 kilograms. They live in the bushes of southern Portugal and southwestern Spain, not far from some of Europe's famous tourist destinations.

Cheetahs are known as the fastest land animals in the world and are native to parts of Africa and Iran. On the IUCN Red List, cheetahs are classified as "vulnerable" because their populations plummeted from 100,000 to around 12,000 during the 20th century. The main reason comes from humans entering cheetahs' living areas to compress their dating space, resulting in reproduction problems, coupled with the value of their furs bringing poachers' bullets.

The saguinus bicolor is an endangered primate with a body of predominantly black, white and brown. It is found in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest.
These pure white bears come from afar and can weigh up to 700 kilograms in size. Their numbers are very difficult to count and inhabit mainly within the Arctic Circle. Biologists estimate their number globally at 25,000.
The liè lizard is a species that can only be found in the Galapagos Islands. On land, marine iguanas are clumsy, but they are flexible in the water, swimming with strong tails. It is the only iguana in the world that can adapt to marine life. Like fish, they can swim freely in the sea. Drink seawater and eat seaweed and other aquatic plants.
As the world's endangered and protected animal, the "proboscis monkey" totals only a few thousand, in the coastal mangroves and rivers of Sabah and Sarawak, Malaysia. Proboscis monkeys have unusually peculiar appearances and unusually large noses, among which male monkeys have larger and larger noses as they age, and the Labwan Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary in Sandakan, Sabah, can only be seen up close.
The ceate-headed stork is a large bird very close to the stork family and is the only species in the genus Cetacean in the family Cetaceanidae. The name comes from its powerful beak. Whale-headed storks can reach up to 150 cm in length , with adult bird feathers mostly grey and juvenile feathers mostly brown.

It lives in the mountains, primary and secondary forests, and lowland swamps of Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. It is now a critically endangered species due to the Ebola virus and human and cheetah hunting.
The main threat to hippos is illegal and unrestricted hunting for meat and teeth, as well as habitat loss. Illegal hunting is considered to be the most severe in the habitat area, with the local hippopotamus population declining by more than 95 per cent during civil unrest and fighting in the Democratic Republic of the Congo for more than 8 years, and extensive poaching has also been reported from Burundi and Côte d'Ivoire. For countries with a high proportion of common hippopotamus population reserves, the rate of decline in hippotamus populations is much lower, so habitat conservation is rewarded and penalties are put in place for illegal hunting.
