From bbc

In 2010, there were as few as 3,200 wild tigers. But now five countries - India, China, Nepal, Russia and Bhutan - have given hope for the future.

In India alone, the number of wild tigers is now estimated at between 2,600 and 3,350 animals - which makes up around three-quarters of the world's population.

Following quite a long while's nonappearance, I brought alo...

Vaquita the rarest creature in the world.

Estimated Number of Mature Individuals:  about 10 in the wild (possibly between 6 and 22); none in captivity   Location:  Northern part of the Gulf of California   Current Conservation Status:  Critically Endangered  Scientific Name:  Phocoena sinus The vaquita  is currently the rarest animal in the world , and quite possibly the most endangered, with only about only 10 individual left in wild. That estimate comes from a report published by the IUCN in early 2019 that stated that only about 10 vaquitas remained alive in 2018, as per an acoustic monitoring program conducted in the Gulf, though there is a 95% chance they number between 6 and 22.

Vaquitas are the smallest species of porpoise and easily get caught in gillnets (nets that catch fish by their gills) used by illegal fishing operations. Also Vaquitas have such a small population becaus...
