An endangered species is one whose population is so small that it is in danger of becoming extinct. Many countries have laws offering special protection to these species (forbidding hunting, banning their habitats from development, etc.) to prevent this.
Examples:
- Israel painted frog (Discoglossus nigriventer)
- Italian spade-footed toad
- Desert slender salamander
- Ivory-billed woodpecker
- Golden marmoset
- Orangutan
- Ripley turtle
- Steller sea lion
