Endangered animals

Endangered is the second of the three threatened categories, one step more serious than Vulnerable. An animal reaches it after a severe population decline, or a very small and badly fragmented range. It means a very high risk of extinction in the wild, with breeding numbers low enough that a single bad year can wipe out whole groups.
