The Hokuriku Salamander is on the endangered species list because the places that they inhabit are disappearing. The Salamander survives in swamps and ponds eating such things as the arthropods and worms. When the swamps and ponds are gone then the Salamander has no food source. The Hokuriku Salamander is from Japan living in the Ishikawa and Toyama prefectures of the Island. The Hokuriku Salamander is known to eat each other, which is another major reason that they are on the endangered species list. The animal’s natural habitats consist of forests, rivers, freshwater marshes, and freshwater springs.
Since the animal has lost its habitat and they are known to eat, each other it is very doubtful if there will be any of the species left in for future generations. That is why people have started building habitats to put the Hokuriku Salamander so that they will be able to remain in existence. It is hard to find one of the Salamanders during the day because they are nocturnal only being seen during the night. Most Salamanders only move in the night hours keeping out of sight from any onlookers. That has made it very difficult for them to be found or captured.

The idea behind capturing a Hokuriku Salamander is to remove them and place them in an area where they can find enough food for their survival. When the Salamander can find enough food for survival, they will no longer eat each other. This will help them to grow and populate which is essential for their survival. The Hokuriku Salamander is indigenous to the Japan Islands but they have been seen in other Asian countries.
The scientific name for the Hokuriku Salamander is the Hynobius Takedai. Friends of the creature watch how the animal survives and tries to pinpoint when they are disappearing from their natural habitat in order to relocate them to a safe area. It is necessary to put them in a forest, freshwater marsh, or freshwater springs so they can find enough food to survive. In addition, you cannot put too many in the same spot because of the danger that they will eat each other.

Endangered species are those that are at stake to extinct in no time. The animals that have been nominated under endangered species are many and endangered species list gives the names of animals that are endangered too. Endangered species list is having thousands of animals that are in current danger, but it very difficult to describe all of those here.

Tigers are the most endangered animals today in the world. Now, they are only seven to eight percent of their total amount. Continuous deforestation and other climate factors and definitely hunting and private ownership of these wild animals are some main factors in their depriving range.
Pacific Walrus are another type of animals that are extincting. In the year of 2010, about 200 Walrus were found dead on the seas of Alaska. Arctic’s Bering and Chukchi Seas are their natural habitats, but global warming and rising sea levels are definitely main factors in the process. When the natural habitat is destroyed, the whole specie is on the verge of death and demands a lot of effort to sustain life. Environmental change definitely effects their life expectancy.

Polar bears also one of endangered animals. They are found on the poles and also get effect with the melting of ice. Global warming is affecting their lives too. When change comes to their natural habitat, their food chain and hunting also gets effect and their life comes at risk.
Bluefin Tuna is endangered too. It is found in Alanttic and Mediterranean seas. Overtrade of bluefin and fishing has decreased its numbers in the sea. World Fishing Organizations are putting pressure on restaurants to stop buying, selling and serving of the fish to prohibit the collapsed fish specie.

Mountain Gorilla is thought to be highly endangered by scientists as there exist only 720 Gorillas exist in the wild life. It is sub-specie of the Eastern Gorilla. Mountain Gorillas are not usually hunted for meat, but they are ensnared and killed for other animals. The Gorillas are aggressive in nature and if a small infant is caught by the hunters, then the whole group fights for the infant and in that process at least one Gorilla loses its life.
Afore mentioned are the animals that come from endangered species and are endangered themselves too. Root causes of their extinction are usually hunting, bulk of fishing and environmental change including global warming. To save this animal life, all of us will have to work together.
