At Knowsley Safari—we have lots of animals; some are not doing well
in the wild and some are doing okay.
Can you put a tick through the ones that are okay (least concern)
Can you put a cross through the ones that aren’t doing very well
(extinct in the wild, critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or
near threatened) You might need to look some up
There are two main reasons for why animals are endangered:-
Habitat loss and poaching
Poaching is when an animal is killed for its body parts
