From this class, we learned many endangered animals: Rothschild giraffe,  orphan elephants, white lions, monkeys in Puerto Rico, stranded whales  and Japan Blue-fin tuna.The Rothschild giraffe is one of the most endangered distinct populations of giraffe. Their manors now becomes smaller so we had better  provide more sanctuary for them. And for the orphan elephants, shrinking habitat and drought made them endanger, keepers now are helping them. About the white lion, we all know they are genetically rare carnivore.Taking good care of them is the best way to protect them.  For the video of monkeys in Puerto Rico, we have learnt that there has been animal activities boycott in  Puerto Rico, an enchantment place, happened a gun down event, nearly 500  monkeys were killed. The stranded whale, as mammal, who use blowhole to breath often be helped by keepers to breath normally when they are stranding. Japan Blue-fin tuna often used in making sushi in Japan, so a huge hunting in Japan cause Blue-fin tuna in danger. Many cities make rules to curb hunting tuna. We should try our best to protect them, because each life should exist and cherish carefully.
