  1. And of course most of these incredible animals are endangered due to humans and their actions. Yet they do it anyway knowing of the consequences.

  2. I see a lot of people in the comments expressing concern for the endangerment of wildlife. Please know that livestock is the leading cause of wildlife extinction because farmers have to kill predators and habitats are destroyed to obtain land to graze animals or grow food to feed to animals. We all have responsibility

  4. Sad thing about humans is that we have the ability to enhance wildlife and help them thrive alongside us. Yet we are so egotistic we don't care about them.

  7. It's so unfortunate that most of the incredible animals on this planet are the ones that are being endangered. I'm very grateful to this channel for raising awareness to some extent for the welfare of the wildlife.
