Well, I have read many ‘Top10’ and ‘Top20’ articles here. Most of them revolve around topics like ‘Best Actor’, ‘Most Handsome Men’, ‘Prettiest Celebrities’, ‘Best Movies’, ‘Best Anime Characters’, ‘Catchiest Songs’ and so on. After today’s science class in school, I thought to make another ‘Top10’ article, but on a totally different topic – TOP 10 ENDANGERED ANIMALS.
So, here’s my top 10 animals which are really awesome but unfortunately, are on the verge of being extinct.
#10. BLACK RHINOCEROS
I am not much fond of rhinos but this black one looks pretty good. These are mostly found in Africa. They weigh about 1000kg. According to World Wildlife Fund, only 5000 black rhinos are left in the world.
#9. INDIAN ELEPHANT
Now this one’s from my motherland. In India, though we worship the elephants, but at the same time elephants are killed regularly. Due to civilization, forests are being cut off and elephants are entering the villages as well as towns and are getting killed or injured. As a result, only 20 thousand Indian Elephants are left.
#8. BLUE WHALE
The world’s largest animal is also going to be extinct in near future. This huge underwater giant weighing equal to 33 adult elephants can shout in a sound of 188dB. These are dying regularly due to thermal pollution and global warming. In addition, they are killed mercilessly, till now.
#7. SEAL
Mostly found in Galapagos Island, seals are going to be extinct partly because of their own mistake. When people started coming to the island with their boats, the seals used to destroy their boats in their absence. As a punishment, they were killed and injured. In addition, some saw the seals playing in the boats and realized that they have the ability to amuse the public. Thus seals were caught and used in circuses. Very soon a time will come when seals will be found only in cartoons.
#6. HAWKSBILL TORTOISE
The Hawksbill tortoise, found in most of the oceans, is 30 to 35 inches tall. Their mouth resembles the beak or bill of a hawk bird, and thus it gets its name. They are one of the fast disappearing animals in the world.
#5. ROYAL BENGAL TIGER
The Royal Bengal Tiger, found in Sundarbans, West Bengal (My state!), India, is the national animal of both Bangladesh and India. They are hunted in large numbers by the hunters. Added to this is the destruction of the mangroves of Sundarbans due to global warming. As a result only 2500 ‘royals’ are present today.
#4. BLACK-HEADED SPIDER MONKEY
These monkeys are 1.5 feet long, but their tail is 3 feet I length! Their limbs are also longer than their body. They are found in the rainforests of Amazon. These are generally found in the upper levels of the forests and are greatly endangered.
#3 SNOW LEOPARD
One of the cutest and strongest animal I know, the snow-leopards are found in China, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Russia and 4 other countries. They live in the cold regions and feed on sheep, goats and horses. Only 6000 snow-leopards are known to be surviving presently.
#2 GALAPAGOS PENGUIN
Penguins are always cute. But these are, according to me cutest in the lot. They are only found in Galapagos Island. Unfortunately, only 2000 Galapagos penguins are left alive.
#1 PANGOLIN
The No.1 stand had to be left empty for this amazing creature. This mammal, with scales all over its body can roll itself completely into a ball! Guess what they eat……….ants! Pangolins are found in the forests of Africa. Poachers often kill them for their valuable scales as well as flesh. About 200 thousand pangolins are estimated to be killed in the period of 2011 to 2013. Very soon, this extraordinary mammal will become extinct.

Pretend powers-
1.) get some thin string that looks invisible.
2.) tie it to some thing like paper, a piece of cardboard or a card stock door sign.
3.) lightly tie other end of string to ur finger. Hold ur hand like zac from mako mermaids does when he's using his powers.
4.) when people are looking, start to pull lightly while using ur "powers" to pull the object.
You can amaze people with this. I've wanted to do this stuff for a long time.
Moon pool-
1.) get a kiddie pool ( plastic or inflatable ).
2.) put rocks about 5 in. big around the side of the pool. ( if it's inflatable u don't have to do this. )
3.) fill pool with water and pack sand around the sides of the pool if u put rocks on the sides.
4.) put on ur tail and sit in the pool. Enjoy!!!
Thank u everyone for reading this article and I hope it works for everyone that read it.

I made a new friend yesterday at my high school.His name is Anthony and we have some things in common which is great!
I'm so glad we met each other.Tomorrow I'll hang out with him again and maybe go to his place.He actually lives right across the street from me.So that means we get to walk to school together!!
Friendship is a great thing in life,and I'm glad I have a new friend to be with and chat with.My mom and dad always knew I could do it and I also thought that I would meet someone.
You could also make a friend and maybe you have something in common with that person.And who knows maybe your new friend lives right by you,if not at least you still see them or talk to them. :)

Okay..
So. I saw this movie once.
I can agree much of the acting is hard to take seriously.
But it's a lot better then people give it credit for..
The one thing that reached my attention when reading the reviews of this movie.
Is that someone stated that using a "blonde" girl wasn't a good choice..
But here's why that upsets me so much.
A girl I knew, Dean. Was one of the most popular girls in my school (yes, she was blonde). Was struck by cyber bullying.
And you know what happened?
She killed herself!
Yeah.
My best friend, KILLED HERSELF!
So.
Yeah..
Now you know why I was effected so strongly by this movie..
And fuck cyber bullies!
Fuck them all!!
