Top Ten Naija Presents Top Five Endangered Animals In Nigeria. Endangered species in Nigeria are threatened by factors such as habitat loss, hunting, disease and climate change, and usually the endangered species have a declining population or a very limited range. 1. West African lion[img]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQcWB3Uir4GXMBGYYcZjR6A5A7lAf-WSNalxwTDEhudGFBVf1wq[/img] West African lion and a cub In 1970 there were approximately 200,000 lions all over Africa. Now there are nearly 20,000. It was estimated that there are just 645 genetically distinct wild lions left in western and central Africa, with as few as 34 remaining in the whole terrirtory of Nigeria. With Lion Cubs Being sold at a price range of 3million Naira to 4million Naira, Clusters of lions remain in Burkina Faso, Niger, the Central African Republic, Cameroon and Chad. Nomadic Pasturalists like the fulani herdmen have admitted to researchers that they have poisoned lions who threatened their herds. In Ghana, The Ivory Coast and Togo there are already no lions left. 2. Cross River Gorilla Cross River gorilla Gorillas who used to be the kings of jungle are now numbered at fewer than 300 in the forests of Nigeria and Cameroon.Due to actions of poachers who sell the skin and body parts to ritualists or consumers, These animals are going to be extinct if something is not done about it. In 80th it was believed that this kind of primates has already become extinct. But later it has been learnt that they were still there. So there is still some chances for their lucky future. 3. Snakes Snakes generally are dangerous animals and here in nigeria, we don't have any animal service to call when we sight any specie of snake in our environment, we melt out justice to the snake immediately. This factor also contributes to the near future extinction of snakes in nigeria 4. Cameroonian forest shrew Cameroonian forest shrew These tiny rats are also endangered species. They can be found in the Montane forests of Western Cameroon around Mount Oku and Lake Manengouba, and in Southeastern Nigeria in the Gotel Mountains or Adamawa Plateau. 5. White-throated guenon White-throated guenon The next vulnerable member of our list is a white-throated guenon. He is also called red-bellied monkey and the red-bellied guenon. These creatures live in rainforests or tropical areas of Nigeria and Benin. These monkeys eat fruits, small insects, leaves and crops. They live in small groups of 4 or 5. The white-throated guenon was once thought to be extinct due to constant hunting for their fur, as the animal has a unique red belly and white front legs. But a small group was found near the Niger River in 1988. 6. Red-eared guenon Red-eared guenon This kind of monkeys is also endangered. They can be found in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, and Nigeria. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical forests. The reasons of its extinction are illegal hunting and pet trade. you could also watch this "documentary" about it- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1ZMIxgPrBE https://ttnaija..com.ng/2017/08/top-five-endangered-animals-in-nigeria.html 2 Likes
