Question

What species of wild life is in the greatest danger of extinction, at the present time?

Answer 1

the hedgehog.

poor little things they are sooooooooo cute.

Answer 2

Yep, hedgehogs are now considered an endangered species in the UK. http://www.hedgehogs.org.uk/

Answer 3

All species on earth. When you look at how the range of wild life species has shrunk from entire continents to extremely small "ecosystems", it isn't difficult to realize that most all wildlife species are in danger and on the verge of completely losing all of their natural habitat to human encroachment and would subsequently be subject to extinction. Many species are already extinct.

Ironically, humans, although numbering in the billions globally, could also experience extinction fairly easily due to a global cataclysm like an asteriod impact, nuclear winter, gamma rays, viruses, or natural "mega" disaster (volcano or earthquake). In which case, earth may very well end up like Mars, barren and devoid of all life.

Answer 4

fresh water dolphin in china, sadly none have been seen for awhile, what a horrible world we live in !

Answer 5

the stuff in the sea is part of wildlife isn't it, in there i'd say the blue, white, and striped marlins are the most endangered. certain whales. on the land, i'd like hedgehogs, white rhinos, and threatened large cats.

Answer 7

their is no way of saying this

3000 species have become extinct in the last 50 years

the biggest changes ,unnoticed so far ,is at micro biotic levels

this affects insect life .and this in turn affects all the flora and fauna that follows

pretty soon we might end up on the same list

Answer 8

Orangatans

The black-footed ferret is North America's most endangered mammal and the pallid sturgeon is one of its most endangered fish.
