Edinburgh Zoo

We went to the Edinburgh Zoo today and I saw a lot of adorable animals and even some endangered animals ; apart from enjoying the happiness of visiting these lovely animals(and the brutal breeze), they are actually admonishing us - we the human have to stop destroying the earth, over-hunting and ruining their habitats.

This is Sumatran Tiger and it is actually critically endangered. Their habitat is rain forest, however human is keep chopping down the woods and trees and over hunting them; Sumatran Tiger becomes one of the endangered animal. We should treasure the resources on the Earth and not wasting any useful things, trying our best to achieve the 3R's : 'Reduce', 'Reuse' and 'Recycle'.

This is Meerkats and they are classed as 'Least Concern' by IUCN because over-hunting and even gassed in their burrows particularly in areas where they pose a threat the humans.They are pale brown on the underside and on their face, with silvery-brown on the upper parts and eight darker bands on their back and dark eye rings with a dark tip to their slender tail. 

 There is a range of threats that penguins are facing now, large scale of commercial fishing let penguins lose their diets. Ocean pollution stick the feathers of penguins and they have difficulties to swim and survive. Gentoo penguins are near threatened animals.

Yang Guang is a male giant panda which is eating his favorite bamboo. Panda lives in the mountain forests of the central China. They are classed as vulnerable now because loss habitat. Same as the Sumatran Tiger, humans are over chopping trees and the mountains and forests are disappearing. There are 2,281 giant pandas on the world now.

As the well development of human, animals are keep dying and decreasing, we should attach the importance to animal protection. Certainly, treasure the things we got and never waste are prescribing the right medicine for an illness of the Earth and the animals.
