      LOADS of animal species are close to going extinct. I’m not an expert but it’s easy to find lists, so that you can see for yourself.

      Here’s a nice list of the most famous ones (with pictures)
      https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/directory?direction=desc&sort=extinction_status

      and if you go on this website http://www.iucnredlist.org/ you can see all the species that scientists are worried about (including plants). It’s a bit technical though and there aren’t many pictures unfortunately. Click on ‘Critically Endangered’ to see which species are most threatened. Look how many there are. 🙁
