Great white sharks might be great, big, mean machines, but their role in the aquatic ecological system is one of the most important. Humans have had a negative effect on these sea kings since they hunt them for the skin, meat, teeth and fins. Although they are not in frightening danger right now, fears for their future are very real.

The snow leopard lives in mid-Asia around the borders of China and the “stan” states. Experts say that there are between 4,000 to 6,000 living in the wild. They are vulnerable right now, which means that they could easily become an endangered species. Humans have hunted this wild cat for centuries, usually for its fur or to protect their herds.
