Endangered Animals

It is estimated that, over the past 500 years, approx. 1, 500 animal species have disappeared from Earth, from the tiny dying poison frog from Central America to the huge aurochs that roamed European forests until the seventeenth century. With the aid of over 500 spectacular photographs, informative charts, and detailed maps, this book portrays numerous endangered animal species from all over the world, among them the basking shark, the poison-dart frog, the Indian gherial and the gorilla.
