Many animal species are endangered due to factors such as habitat destruction, climate change, poaching, and pollution. Some examples include: The pronghorn (Antilocapra americana), also known as the American antelope, is a mammal native to North America. Although it is called an “antelope,” it is not related to African antelopes but belongs to its own family, Antilocapridae. The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) is one of the most impressive birds of prey in the world and a symbol of power and freedom in many cultures. It is the national bird of Mexico and appears on its coat of arms. The spider monkey (Ateles) is a primate from the Atelidae family, known for its agility and long limbs, which allow it to move quickly through the trees of the jungle. It is one of the most threatened species due to deforestation and poaching. The black bear (Ursus americanus) is one of the most common and widely distributed bear species in North America. It is found in forests, mountains, rural areas, and suburban regions of Canada, the United States, and some areas of Mexico. The vaquita (Phocoena sinus) is a small cetacean endemic to the Gulf of California in Mexico. It is one of the most endangered marine mammals in the world due to its limited distribution and the human threats it faces. The jaguar (Panthera onca) is the largest feline in the Americas and the third-largest feline in the world, after the tiger and lion. It is a majestic animal known for its strength, agility, and ability to adapt to different habitats.
