    Hi Bal krishna Pandey, this is a mentor, Sang Su Lee.

    Thank you for listing some wild animals that undergo great threats. The common factors to threats that were noticeable are human impacts. People's greed really disturbs wild animals to thrive in the nature. We need to change our behaviors to live together, not live alone on the earth~!

    Green cheers!~
