Black footed ferret

The black footed ferret, also known as the American polecat, black footed mink, or prairie dog hunter, is an endangered mustelid native to North America. The ferret is the size of a mink and differs from the European polecat, which is least concern. The name ferret has the name prairie dog hunter because they prey on prairie dogs. Fewer than 750 remain and they live in the US states of South Dakota, Arizona, and Wyoming. 2 prairie dog species are also endangered and they are the Utah and Mexican.

Arctic fox

The Arctic fox (Alopex Lagopus), also known as the white fox, snow fox, blue fox, or polar fox, is a small fox native to the arctic regions of the Northern hemisphere and common throughout the Arctic tundra biome. It is well adapted to living in cold environments. It has a deep thick fur which is brown in the summer and white in the winter. Its 7 subspecies are the Bering, Priblof, Iceland, Greenland, Scandinavian, Siberian, and Medny arctic fox. They are only endangered in the Scandinavian area estimated to be around 120 individuals left. They are also rare or extinct on Medny island off the coast of the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia. Red foxes are twice the size of an arctic fox. The main predator of the arctic fox is the polar bear. They mainly live in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia, and Russia. Because the arctic fox is such a rare animal, there are no up to date population estimates for any region, making it difficult to increase its conservation status. For now, they are listed under the category of least concern. It is one of the 3 most common fox species along with the red and fennec. It is also one of the 5 canines you will find in Alaska after the red fox, coyote, gray wolf, and domestic dog. They eat small creatures and scavenge polar bear kills such as seals.

Grandider's mongoose

The Grandider's mongoose or giant striped mongoose or Grandider's vontsira, is a small endangered mongoose that is native to Southwestern Madagascar. The species is named after Alfred Grandider.

Silky anteater

The silky anteater or pygmy anteater (Cyclopes Didactlylus) is a species of anteater native to Central and South America. Like the giant anteater and tamandua, they live in Latin America and they eat ants and termites and mothers carry their babies on their backs. The giant and silky anteater are pretty cool animals and they are one of my favorite animals in South America.

Bull shark

The bull shark, also known as the Zambezi shark in Zambia in Africa or Nicaragua shark in Nicaragua in Mexico, is the deadliest shark in the world, even deadlier than a great white shark. The bull shark is the only shark species that can live in freshwater too and they give birth to their pups in freshwater. They are called bull sharks because of their aggression. Bull sharks look like reef sharks but bigger.

Andean wolf

The Andean wolf (Dasycyon Hagenbecki), also known as the Hagenbeck's wolf, is a wolf-like canid native to the Andes mountains of South America. Wolves and their relatives live in all continents besides Antarctica. It is similar to the culpeo or Andean fox. I wish it is a real wolf, because wolves live in every continent besides South America and Antarctica, although dire wolves lived in South America. Of course Antarctica doesn't need wolves.

Side striped jackal

The side striped jackal is a jackal species native to Africa. Both black backed jackals and Side striped jackals live only in Africa but the golden jackal lives in both Eurasia and Africa and its subspecies only live in Eurasia (Europe and Asia). The black backed is smaller than the side striped. Side striped jackals are more silent that black backed jackals and golden jackals.

The black backed jackal is a jackal species native to South and East Africa. Not to be confused with the Cape jackal or the East African black backed jackal, which are 2 distinct subspecies of the black backed jackal. It is one of the 3 jackal species you'll find in Eastern Africa. This is a Cape jackal feeding on a gazelle carcass.

Arctic reindeer

The Arctic reindeer, also known as the East Greenland reindeer, is an extinct subspecies of reindeer that lived in Eastern Greenland. It was declared extinct in 1900. There is another extinct subspecies of reindeer called the Queen Charlotte island caribou which went extinct 8 years later. I noticed this species from Lost animals of the 20th century. The reindeer's skin was generally grayish or dirty white with a darker brownish back but its most striking feature was its antlers.
