2. How we considered animals rare ?
• Endangered species and almost extinct animals range from rainforest animals
to wild animals and African animals, many can be found on the endangered
species list which makes them rare animals. Some are the most endangered
species, others are threatened species.
3. The Maltese tiger
• The Maltese tiger, or blue tiger, Province of China. It is
said to have bluish fur with dark gray stripes. Most of
the Maltese tigers reported have been of the South
Chinese subspecies. The South Chinese tiger today is
critically endangered, due to their illegal and continued
use in traditional Chinese Medicine and the "blue"
alleles may be wholly extinct. Blue tigers have also been
reported in Korea. The term "Maltese" comes from
domestic cat terminology for blue fur, and refers to the
slate grey coloration. Many cats with such coloration are
present in Malta, which may have given rise to the use
of the adjective in this context.
4. Tarsier
• Tarsier, (family Tarsiidae), any of about 13 species of
small leaping primates found only on various islands of
Southeast Asia, including the Philippines. Tarsiers are
intermediate in form between lemurs and monkeys,
measuring only about 9–16 cm (3.5–6 inches) long,
excluding a tail of about twice that length. Tarsiers are
lemurlike in being nocturnal and having a well-developed
sense of smell. However, like monkeys, apes, and
humans, they have a nose that is dry and hair-covered,
not moist and bald as is that of lemurs.

7. Yellow Turtle

caught in a fisherman’s net in West
