Lli pikas are sometimes nicknamed as the 'magic rabbit'. They are a cuddly looking mammal. They are about 8 inches long. They were first found and documented in China in 1983. They were found again in 2014. They have gone from around 2,900 in 1983 to around 1,000 in 2014. The lli pika species has dropped 71% in about 30 years. They are believed to be endangered because of global warming. They live in a cold flat raised area called a plateau. They eat herbs and other plants. They are more endangered than the panda.
How can we help?
We help lli pikas by helping to stop global warming. The most important thing to do is recycle, reuse and reduce. Use less hot water. Turn off the water when you are brushing your teeth or flossing. Turn off the light when ever you leave a room. Don't leave your light on in the middle of the day if you can see enough just using sunlight. Drive the least you can. If you have to go like two blocks don't drive, if you can just walk or take public transportation.
Leatherback sea turtles are one of the most endangered animals in the world. They are also the largest sea turtle and one of the largest reptiles in the world. An adult leatherback sea turtle can weigh up to 2,000 pounds. They are 6 to 7.2 feet long. Leatherback sea turtles are endangered because of many reasons. Mainly because people harvest the eggs and the turtles get caught in many different types of fishing nets and fishing materials. Leather back sea turtles have been on earth for the last 100,000,000 years. They eat a very large amount of jellyfish which helps keep the jellyfish population in check.
How you can help:
You can help buy not littering. Especially do not litter plastic bags. If you drop a bag it probably will somehow get in to a river or stream. If it gets in to a river or stream it will eventually get to the ocean. Once it is in the ocean a leatherback sea turtle might mistake it for a jellyfish, eat it and then die. Also if you let go of a balloon outside it will end up in the ocean and a sea turtle or any other sea creature might eat it and then die.
