On our planet earth diversity is the most beautiful thing we have, our culture, our people, flora and fauna; In spite of this, many human beings do not keep in mind the importance of the conservation of any of these things, for them life is just spending time on earth and then forgetting about the people who still remain in it and those who are still there. come and live on this planet, in this case the flora and fauna are affected in an excessive way because they do not have how to defend themselves from the destructive hand of man; Today I will dedicate my post to the fauna; the animals that I find incredible, beautiful and majestic, even though I screw a bit in the way that I protect and defend animals but I am not a vegetarian what many believe is vital; I, on the other hand, think that in some way the measured consumption of certain meat products is important and adequate for our diet; Many times it hurts me but it is survival that made us carnivores; very on the contrary never consume wild animals that are in danger or are "exotic", this is something that I have always criticized people, that need to destroy and kill species for simple pleasure.

The animals are living beings that occupy a space in our land, they unlike us humans if they respect what surrounds them, the food chains are only the balance of nature; but we occupy spaces that often do not belong to us, giving rise to the damage of ecosystems, ecological niches and therefore completely extinguishing animals and flora. In this case I will name some of my country Venezuela, which are in danger of extinction or practically extinct. First I invite readers to know more about the fauna in Venezuela that is in danger described in a book called "The Red Book" in which there is a list of extinct, endangered and vulnerable animals, it is quite interesting, I leave you the link.

Some of these animals in danger of extinction are:

• Jaguar Panthera Onca

This is one of the most important cats in Venezuela, they have a large and robust body with incredible power claws, weighing up to 150 kg; normally their colors are yellow to reddish and many spots irrigated as a main feature; which are individual; that is, they are not repeated in other jaguars since they are like fingerprints.

• Turtle Arrau

Light brown or white are the spots that spread in your eyes and nose reaching the chest; Its snout is dark brown, its claws have interdigital hairs that allow it to climb trees, these bears have diurnal habits, live on a plant-based diet and are usually solitary.

• Condor

Known as Vultur gryphus, it is a scavenger bird of great size and great presence; It encompasses the skies of Venezuela but today there are very few due to the conditions of its habitat and hunting. Its plumage is black and the neck has white stripes.

• Manatí Trichechus

It looks like a thick torpedo, its tail is round and spatula-like, belonging to the aquatic environment, its skin is wrinkled and often covered with algae that uses camouflage. They usually have a very bad view; but his hearing is very developed. They are herbivorous and daily consume between 15 and 20% of their weight.

• The Cardenalito

It is a very small bird about 10 cm, its plumage is red and black some with the center of the white belly, currently there are very few due to hunting.

These are some of the animals in danger of extinction in Venezuela, although really the number of species is very large from insects to mammals, it is a shame that the man has been responsible for ending the habitat of so many species and has taken over the extermination of so many by indiscriminate hunting, the world needs the balance of all living beings, the conservation of the species is vital for our planet to function correctly; every day I think more that the more we end up with the flora and fauna of the earth, the more the contribution to the undeniable environmental damage that we are causing will be the perfect ingredients for the total extermination of life on earth. We must be more aware and teach others the importance of each living being on this planet where we all fit..
