Here are the world’s rarest animals. Some of them could already be extinct but all we know is that there are people out there that care.

The Pinta Island Tortoise
This tortoise from the Galapagos Islands is the rarest animal of them all. There is only one of them still alive. They were said to be extinct 30 years ago until a ranger happen to find one. They have been searching for a female tortoise so they can get the Pinta Island Tortoise back on the map.

Baiji
The Baiji is better known as the river dolphin. They are usually found outside of china. The reason that has caused these mammals to become so rare is the fact that these dolphins were competing for their food with the human race. The humans would hunt fish and it just so happened to be what these rare dolphins eat. There have been reports that this species is now extinct and they are in search of them as we speak.
-
The Vancouver Island Marmot
This rare animal can be found in the Vancouver Islands in British Columbia. They are said to congregate in the mountainous regions. In the year 2000, the Canadian researchers found the population of these rare animals to be at an all time low of just 75. They have since then put about half of that number in rehab facilities where they are trying to mate them and get the population back up to around 400 – 500 individual Marmots.
-
Seychelles Sheath-tailed Bat
They can be found just north of Madagascar in the Seychelles Islands. There is said to be less then 100 of these bats left here on earth. Scientists don’t know much about this specific type of bat but it is said that an amount of 500 or more would be enough to keep this species from becoming extinct.
-
Javan Rhino
There is said to be only around 50 of this type of Rhino left and researchers have noticed that they were only found in Indonesia and Vietnam. The animal has been poached for its horn and is said to be used for medical reasons. The humans have caused this animal to become one of the top five rarest animals in the world.

Thank you for your research and information. It is a shame that humans can be so destructive. I hope they are able to save these and more animals from extinction.

I think the Amur Leopard of Siberia definitely should have been on this list. Only about 30 remain in the world.

all things happen for a reason if a animal is supposed to die out it should we shouldn’t be the ones saving them because they cant repopulate themselves the money should be spent on better things and don’t say the war stuff cause inless you want the terrist to keep killing innocent people the war needs to keep going

ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS??? THESE ANIMALS ARE DIEING AND SOON TO BE EXTINCT MAINLY BECAUSE OF US HUMANS, OUR GREEDINESS AND DESTRUCTIVE NATURE NOT BECAUSE OF SOME ANY OTHER SIMPLE REASONS. THINK BEFORE YOU POST SOMETHING LIKE THIS, IT MAKES YOU SOUND SO STUPID.
