Endangered Animals

Extinction:
Extinction refers to the end of an organism or of a group of organisms, normally a species.

Animals are being killed everyday for various purposes all over the world. Some are being killed for their fur, others being killed for food and others being killed for the activity of hunting. The following are a few of my favourite animals which are considered endangered species which means they're not much left in the world and something needs to be done in order for them to live and not be wiped off the planet.

Bengal Tiger

The Bengal Tiger is the largest from the cat family and is found in the Indian Subcontinent. There are not much of them left and according to the National Geographic Channel there is less than 2,500 of them left and this is due to hunted and forest destruction.

Killer Whale (Orcas)

The Killer Whale is known for being one of the most powerful apex predators and on average weigh up to 6-8 tons! They are beautiful animals and have a distinctive black and white color making them recognizable to most people. They had been put on the U.S Endangered Species list due to pollution, habitat loss and prey depletion.

Polar Bear

The Polar Bear is a large mammal from the Arctic and is considered the largest bear from the bear family. They weigh around 600kg and are an endangered species due to global warming and the ice melting in the arctic which means there is less ice for them to stand or live upon.

Amazing Places I Would Love To Visit..

Largest Cave in the World, Hang Son Doong in Vietnam
The Hang Son Doong cave in Quang Binh Province, Vietnam
The cave is made out of limestone, a 150 metres long and 200 metres high, also has an enormous underground river!

Vadhoo Island in the Maldives
Sea of Stars on Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives
The Island has a magical looking effect which occurs during the night on the shores where there are microbes called phytoplankton which make it look like the stars from the sky have fallen in the sea. The sight is absolutely amazing.

Santorini, Greece

White-washed houses, amazing blue-domed churches and a fantastic view of the sea which was all caused because of a volcano eruption.

Petra, Jordan

Petra which Jordan's most visited tourist attraction is an amazing ancient city which has some wonderful views including its rock carved entrance which was done by the Nabataeans as a tomb for an important king in the early 1st Century.

Whitehaven Beach, Australia

Beautiful white sands, clear blue sea and an amazing island. The sand is so fine that it does not preserve heat making it lovely to walk barefoot on. How about this for for a nice relaxing day at the beach.

Tunnel of Love, Ukraine
Tunnel of Love in Klevan, Ukraine
An absolutely surreal view of a railway which has been covered  with leaves surrounding it. It also has a active train which drives through on a regular basis so be careful whilst when you're on the rail tracks!

Westin Maui Resort, Hawaii
This resort in Hawaii has been known for its tropical look and fantastic atmosphere, great swimming pools and slides, snorkelling activities,  great views and looks like a great holiday resort!
