Endanger Species “Closer than we think”
     Sometimes we may think that endangered species could only be found in other far away countries. There may be endangered pandas on Asia, the white rhinoceros on Africa, koalas in New Zealand, and maybe come even closer like the giant anteater in South America. But the true and chilling reality is that there are endangered animals in Mexico, our own country.

The endangered Scarlet Macaw
    On the last blog I discussed the causes of endangered species and some of the factors which that contributed, on today’s blog I will be discussing endangered species in Mexico. One of the endangered species is the Scarlet Macaw. It’s a beautiful bird with bright red with blue and yellow wings, blue and red tail. The reason of this bird being endangered is frustrating yet sad. It is endangered because of the demand for its bright and colorful feathers which has been a fashion for many years. Another case is the Mexican Prairie Dog, its number has been declining a lot recently these years, and the causes are that most are poisoned because they are considered agricultural pests, which is kind of cruel because these animals are just trying to survive and they are killed for that.
    These were only two cases of the 45 species found in the endangered and critically endangered categories of Mexico. We must act fast, or the worst will be presented in a couple of years, where our children will not live to see some of the 45 brilliant species of Mexico.

    I like your blog, its interesting that in Mexico we have animals that are in danger. The endangered Scarlet Macaw is a bird that we dont see avery day,they are only in some parts of Mexico but the its spectacular how the bird have red with blue and yellow wings that kind of bird everyone think that are only in Africa or in Australia ,also in Mexico we have animals that never in our life we have seen it we need to know more about our culture , the animals that are in endangered and also if we see one of them how to meet them.Some people when they see this type of bird they whant to catch them and to have it like their pet but persons who care about endangered animals they take them to the zoo so they can have better attention. When people have this type of animal its illegal because they are endangered animals ,they need good attention´s in the zoo so they can reporduce and have more aniamls. In this moment we are in a serious problem because people don´t care about animals and never with the endangered animals so we need to touch our heart and think that the endangered animal have life and they need to live.
