Rhino (n) /ˈraɪ.nəʊ/: Tê giác

- Status: According to recent estimates, there are only around 27,000 rhinos left in the wild, with very few surviving outside of protected national parks and reserves.

- Status: According to the WWF, there are approximately 415,000 African elephants left in the world. There are around 40,000 to 50,000 Asian elephants left.

- As previously stated, the ivory trade, habitat loss, poaching, and elephant-human conflict pose threats to elephant populations

What animal is this?

• Koala

• Panda

• Brown Bear

• Polar Bear

Answer explanation

Panda (n) /ˈpæn.də/: Gấu trúc

- Status: As of right now, there are only 1,864 pandas that remain in the wild, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

- Infrastructure development (such as dams, roads, and railways) is increasingly fragmenting and isolating panda populations, preventing pandas from finding new bamboo forests and potential mates. Forest loss also reduces pandas' access to the bamboo they need to survive.

What animal is this?

• Panda

• Sloth

• Gorilla

• Koala

Answer explanation

Koala (n) /kəʊˈɑː.lə/: Gấu túi

- Status: It's estimated that there are fewer than 100,000 koalas left in the wild, maybe even as few as 43,000.

- The biggest threat to koalas is habitat loss. Much of the koala's habitat in Queensland overlaps with areas where significant clearing has occurred, and continues to occur, for urban, industrial, and rural development. In South East Queensland, the human population is increasing by more than 1000 people a week
