=== You will be making a comic strip on animals at risk of extinction. Working alone, pick one of the following animals to research and learn about: Amur leopard, African elephants, black rhinos, vaquitas, African wild dogs, giant panda, chimpanzees, red pandas, Grevy's zebras. You may also choose a different animal to research as long as the animal is endangered. Please clear your animal choice with your teacher. === === After you have selected your topic, use reliable websites to find answers to the following **questions Hint- a great website is the** World Wildlife Fund **:** ===

2. How many of these are still in existence?
===3. What are the threats to this creature's existence? (For example, is loss of habitat due to human encroachment a cause of its declining numbers? Does pollution hurt this creature? Is the creature being hunted to extinction?) ===

4. Develop two more questions regarding your animal, and find answers to them.
IMPORTANT--WRITE YOUR ANSWERS ON A GOOGLE DOCUMENT AND SHARE THEM WITH MRS. WELLBORN
