The Jaguarundi
The Jaguarundi is a 1-foot-long mammal that hunts fish. The jaguarundi is endangered because of Guatemalan forest destruction. So we need lots of help to save them.
The Kinkajou
The kinkajou is a 1-foot-long member of the raccoon family. Kinkajous are not endangered although hunters hunth them for fur and meat. But they are not good pets because they will attack you after many years.
The Agouti
The Agouti is a big rodent, I mean 2 feet long big! It eats nuts, as well as other things. It walks on its toes, not its feet, like other rodents, and some are endangered.
Leafy Sea Dragon
That underwater bush is moving! It's the leafy sea dragon. Leafy sea dragons look like a bush shaped like a sea horse. Leafy sea dragons eat tiny crustaceans and are listed as nearly endangered. Be careful when you swim in Australia because you could kill them.
The Blob Fish
Although it has no use to fishermen, the blobfish is endangered by... fishermen! The blobfish looks like a blob of silly putty. They grow to 12 inches and live in southeast Austraila. The animal's diet is plankton.
The Hairy Yeti Crab
Did you know there is a type of crab with 'hairy' pincers? If you haven't head, it's the yeti crab. Yeti crabs live 900 miles south of Easter Island, in the ocean. The 'hairs' support colonies of yellow bacteria. Yeti crabs may cultivate the bacteria for mates or food.
