Q.3 (iii) Give two examples of each of the threatened species given below :
(a) Endangered species
(b) Rare species
(c) Vulnerable species.
Best answer
Answer:
(a) Endangered species: lion-tailed monkey (lion-tailed macaque) and lesser florican.
(b) Rare species: red panda and musk deer.
(c) Vulnerable species: tiger and lion.
Endangered species are those whose number has declined or whose habitat has shrunk so much that they may become extinct in the near future; rare species have declined considerably and, being endemic, may become extinct very fast; vulnerable species have an extremely low number that continues to decline. (Examples as given in the SSC textbook.)
