Endangered Species

Mon Jan 26, 2009, 2:44 PM
UPDATE: I've made a club in order to feature and expand this journal! Along with more information about endangered species! Check it out: CriticallyEndangered [link]


I have suggested the idea of making an "Endangered Species" section within "Photography > Animals, Plants & Nature". If you support this idea let deviants know here: [link]

Endangered Species are, in dictionary terms, "A species present in such small numbers that it is at risk of extinction" (Answers.com). EXTINCTION. This means complete annihilation.

Key (IUCN)
Extinct – EX
Extinct in the Wild – EW
Critically Endangered – CR
Endangered – EN
Vulnerable – VU
Near Threatened – NT
Least Concern – LC
Data Deficient – DD
Not Evaluated - NE

They're huge to, I think it's the biggest pigeon species in the world, about 75 cm (29.5 in) long; not very elegant when they fly, but very sociable animals :D

The list has quadrupled in a short time. I'd be honoured if you showed your support on that devpage.
