What animals became extinct from 2010 to 2016?

1. Blue-throated Macaw. (Photo/KK's world)

They are a unique species that inhabits a small area in eastern Bolivia called Los Llanos de Moxos, and is only found in this area. As of last year's statistics, there were only 250 to 300 left in the wild. In addition to being constantly poached, their habitats are also gradually disappearing.

The number of rhinos has decreased by approximately 90% since 1970, mainly because the rhino horns on their heads are very valuable throughout Asia. These rhino horns are not completely useless. They have always had a protective effect on rhinos. But in 2014, nearly 1,200 rhinos died at the hands of poachers while defending themselves.

This small arboreal primate only lives in the far north of Madagascar. The distribution of northern ferret lemurs is scattered, and by 2013, the number may not have exceeded 19. The biggest threat to northern ferret lemurs is habitat loss. In order to produce charcoal, Madagascar residents cut down a large number of trees, resulting in a significant reduction in the forest area on which the northern ferret lemurs depend. Although northern ferret lemurs are protected by law, they are still hunted and eaten by local residents.

According to statistics in 2015, their number is only about 57. Thanks to the efforts of conservation organizations in Russia and China, their number is gradually increasing.

5. Mountain Gorilla. (Photo/Sohu scroll)

Due to hunting, there are currently only 880 mountain gorillas left in the world, distributed in the Virunga Mountains of Africa. It provides a good living environment and abundant food sources for this "gentle giant", allowing this animal that is rarely seen elsewhere to thrive here. The mountain gorilla looks very intimidating due to its rough face and huge body. But in reality, they are very peaceful herbivores, and mountain gorillas spend most of their time wandering around in African forests, chewing leaves, or sleeping.

hawksbill turtles are a type of sea turtle. They are an important part of the marine ecosystem, but they are hunted by humans because of the special patterns on their shells. Or they often die as a result of being caught in the nets of fishing boats.

7. South China tiger. (Photo/cnqjc.com)

The last wild South China tiger was shot and killed in 1994, and since then there has been no conclusive evidence of the existence of a wild population. There are only about 110 South China tigers in captivity in the world, but these contain genes from Southeast Asian tigers. For example, the tiger in the Hakka fairy tale "Tiger Aunt" is the South China tiger; and the tiger Wu Song fights in "Water Margin" is also the South China tiger.

The vaquita is the rarest aquatic mammal in the world. It inhabits the waters around the Gulf of California. However, because of its original scarcity, many people like to eat it. "Fish maw" is believed to have therapeutic effects, thus hastening their extinction.
