Some national parks are near rivers and forests. It is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. There is also a monsoon season when it rains a lot. In these parks, you can see elephants, tigers, and baboons. You can also see flamingos, deer, wild boar and buffalo.

There are also rhinos and hippos. Rhinos are bigger than hippos, but hippos are fiercer.

Wildlife in India India has got hundreds of different mammals and reptiles, and thousands of birds. There are more than 90 national parks in India which protect wild animals.

Some national parks are in the mountains. There is a lot of snow and it is freezing cold. There is no monsoon season and the summer is short. In these parks, you can see bears, eagles and mountain deer. You can also see wolves, foxes and the rare snow leopard. Snow leopards have got black or brown spots. They are smaller than tigers. Snow leopards live on their own and they do not roar.

An endangered animal is an animal in danger of extinction.There are four main reasons why animals are endangered:

Endangered animals

Mountain gorillas live in Africa. There are about 800 in the world today. Gorillas are endangered because of loss of habitat, poaching and hunting baby gorillas to sell as exotic pets.

Polar bears live in the Arctic. There are about 20,000 in the world today. Polar bears are endangered because of global warming and pollution.

Tigers live in Asia. There are about 4,000 in the world today. Tigers are endangered because of loss of habitat, global warming, poaching and hunting for their skins.

Giant pandas live in China. There are about 2,000 in the world today. Giant pandas are endangered because of loss of habitat and pollution.

Indian rhinos live in Asia. There are about 3,000 in the world today. Indian rhinos are endangered because of hunting and poaching for their valuable horns.

Snow leopards live in Asia. There are about 5,000 in the world today. Snow leopards are endangered because of loss of habitat, hunting and poaching for their skins.

Global warminGThe earth is getting hotter. It is harder for animals to find the

food and water that they need.

loss of habitatAnimals lose their homes when

people cut down forests to build farms or roads. They also lose their source of food and water.

PollutionThe earth, rivers and seas are

polluted by chemicals and rubbish. Animals catch diseases and die.

huntinG and PoachinGPeople hunt and poach

wild animals for their skins, horns or tusks, or to sell them

as exotic pets.

An endangered animal My favourite endangered animal is the red squirrel. Red squirrels live in the trees in woods and parks. They are red or brown and have got white fur on their chests. They eat nuts and seeds. Red squirrels are shy and live on their own.

Red squirrels are in danger because of loss of habitat, disease and road traffic. They are also in danger from grey squirrels. Red squirrels are smaller than grey squirrels but

they have got longer ears and tails. Grey squirrels are heavier and stronger than red squirrels. Grey squirrels are hungrier and eat red squirrels’ food. Grey squirrels also live longer than red squirrels. There are about 3 million grey squirrels in the UK today but there are only about 140,000 red squirrels.
