Endangered animals are the species of animals that are likely to be extinct in the near future due to their decreasing count. And in this Chimes Radio Original podcast, we bring to you an overview of 5 endangered animals from the land of India - Asiatic Lions, Bengal Tigers, Blackbuck, Red Panda, and Snow Leopards. In fact, these animals are not only endangered in India but across the globe.  Count of Bengal Tigers, the National animal of India and Bangladesh, has been decreasing over the years due to poaching and the human-tiger conflict. In 2011, there were approximately 2000 Bengal Tigers left in India.  Lion, the King of the jungle, is also marked as endangered species. In May 2015, the 14th Asiatic Lion census was conducted in an area of 20,000 sq km, in which the lion population was estimated to be about 523. In August 2017, another survey was done in which pleasantly the population has increased to 650.  Snow Leopards are the large cats, native to the mountain regions in Central and South Asia. Only 524 snow leopards are left in India.  Count of Blackbucks, one of the fastest runners, is only 7000 that are left in India and is continuously decreasing due to large scale conversion of their natural habitats into agricultural fields.  Red Pandas, also known as lesser pandas or red bear cat, are mostly found in the Himalayas and its population is on the decrease again. In India, there are only 6000 red pandas left.  Let's hop on to our knowledge express and enjoy this kid’s podcast.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
