GRAND CAYMAN BLUE IGUANA Grand Cayman Island, the Caribbean , Fewer than 25 left This iguana is found on just one island in the Caribbean. The blue iguana is three to four feet in length, weighs fifteen to twenty pounds and can live to be fifty years old. Its body turns bright turquoise during mating season. Blue iguanas eat fruit, flowers and leaves. They have been hunted by people for food, run over by cars and had their nests destroyed by wild dogs.

蓝岩鬣蜥 加勒比海大开曼岛 现存不足 25 只 这种蓝岩蜥只在加勒比海的一个岛上才找得到。蓝岩蜥体长为 0.9-1.2 米,体重 7-9 千克,寿命可达 50 岁。在交配季节,它们的身体会变成明亮的蓝绿色。蓝岩蜥以水果、花和叶子为食。它们一直被人类猎食,被汽车碾压，就连巢穴也遭到了野狗的破坏。

NORTHERN HAIRY-NOSED WOMBAT Australia ·Fewer than 60 left The northern hairy-nosed wombat got its name from the short bristly hairs that grow on its face. It is a stocky, powerful animal about three feet long. It uses its strong front claws for digging burrows and finding the roots it eats. Sheep and cattle ranching have destroyed most of this wombat's territory. It is now found only in a tiny corner of one national park in Australia.

澳洲毛鼻袋態 澳大利亚 现存不足 60 只 澳洲毛鼻袋熊因为脸上长着又短又硬的毛而得名。这种动物小巧而健壮,体长约一米。它们用强有力的前爪挖洞或寻找爱吃的树根。这种袋熊大部分栖息地都被牛羊等牧群破坏殆尽。如今,只有在澳大利亚一个国家公园的小小一角，才能看到它们的身影。
