Brazilian Merganser
The entire population worldwide of this Brazilian bird is less than 250. In captivity there is an alarmingly low number of 4 birds, which proves the need for their protection. Their dwindling numbers come from the influence of humans by changing river normalities.
White Whale
It also goes by the name of the “Beluga whale”, and it is near threatened because of hunting by natives living in the northern regions of Canada and Alaska. The natives kill these “small” whales so that they can use their blubber for various purposes. Additionally, animals of the Arctic eat them – animals like polar bears and killer whales.
