A. cygnoides is currently classified as Vulnerable (VU) by the IUCN Red List: it meets one of the 5 red list criteria and is therefore considered to be at high risk of unnatural (human-caused) extinction

Gray's monitor (Varanus olivaceus), also known as the Gray's monitor lizard, butaan, and ornate monitor is an arboreal lizard from the Philippines. Seen the Reptile House at the San Diego Zoo. Conservation Status: Vulnerable
A masked lapwing or spur winged plover, Vanellus miles, chick that I think was less than two days old. Unfortunately, the parents did not stay very close to it so I did not get a reasonable photo of the chick and one of its parents together. Its height was less than the height of its parents knees (see next photo). I kept my distance because masked plovers will defend the chicks and they have spurs on their wings with which they could attack.
Masked lapwings do not always choose good places to nest. They have been known to nest on railway tracks. This pair probably nested on the ground in the backyard of a house. They would often go onto quite a busy road and did not stop the chick going onto the road.

La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster
(Red-bellied Grackle / Cacique candela)
The red-bellied grackle is endemic to Colombia where it is found in all three Andean ranges at altitudes of 800 to 2,400m (2,600 to 7,900ft) above sea level.
Its natural habitat is tropical forest, but the trees are increasingly being felled for timber and to make way for agriculture, and little virgin forest remains within its range.
H. pyrohypogaster was formerly classified as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature but in 2012 the threat level was lowered to "vulnerable". This is on the basis that, although its forest habitat remains under pressure, it has been found at some new locations where it was not known before. The total population is now estimated to be in the range 2,500 to 9,999 individuals.

Animal in wildlife.
In the Winter, White Squirrels have the advantage ,as they blend in with the snow on the ground and trees. Unfortunately for them, the rest of the year they stand out and are an easy target for prey. ( raptors,foxes,coyotes and domestic dogs)

One of the two Avadavats found in India, one being Red and other being Green. These are endemic to India and are incredibly rare to sight. The birds are fast disappearing due to rampant wild life trade of these birds where it is known as Green Waxbill.. The birds are currently categorized as "Vulnerable" in IUCN List and found only in a few places across the country.
The birds are around 10 cms long and always forage in flocks. A fellow birder found them quite by chance and we made a beeline to that place to get a glimpse of this beauty. The bird was foraging in open fields and it was impossible to get a view of it from far. We started walking very slowly and carefully only to see them appear right in front of our eyes and fly away into the bush.
Thank you very much in advance for your views and feedback.
Greater one-horned rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis) mom named "Tanaya" with her calf born April 11, 2020. While not yet named, the female calf has been nicknamed "Little T" . She and her mom live in the 40 acre Asian Plains Field exhibit of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
Conservation Status: Vulnerable primarily due to habitat loss, poaching threats and illegal traffic in rhino horn.
This sweet little chick was all alone waiting for his first meal of the day when this image was captured. He looked so vulnerable and I would love to have just been able to pick him up ,even if it were just for a second One can not help but think that with each passing day he will get a little stronger and hopefully reach adulthood.
It was an amazing experience for sure to spend a few hours with these young tern babies and their parents !!!
wishing you all a beautiful Friday and a very blessed one too !!!!!

The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the cat family Felidae.
A lion pride consists of a few adult males, related females and cubs. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The species is an apex and keystone predator, although they scavenge when opportunities occur.
Typically, the lion inhabits grasslands and savannas but is absent in dense forests. It is usually more diurnal than other big cats, but when persecuted it adapts to being active at night and at twilight.
It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996 because populations in African countries have declined by about 43% since the early 1990s. Habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes for concern. – Wikipedia

There was some attraction to this little knit doll. Lonely and maybe vulnerable. Sometimes it's how I feel.
I think we are better when we are with others.

Male leopard (Panthera pardus).
On a second sighting of this young male leopard, we found him even more hidden in the bush. Seems that he ate a good deal of the impala that he had caught the previous day and was in need of a nap. He didn't seemed pleased that we have found him again.
