Egyptian Tortoise
The Egyptian Tortoise population has been on the decline for decades as they were prone to habitat loss and exploitation via the pet trade. These turtles are one of the smallest land animals as they are only the size of a coin at birth. There are only about 7,500 Egyptian Tortoises left but they will decline to only 1,000 in the near future. Unfortunately, they are cited as a critically endangered species.

Saharan Cheetah
The Saharan Cheetah is an endagered species with only 250 adult Saharan Cheetahs left. The main causes of the reduction in these special cheetahs are global warming, human hunting, and habitat destruction. Today these cheetahs primarily exist in some regions in Africa such as Algeria and Niger which is a stark contrast to when there were over 100,000 cheetahs living in Asia, Africa, and Middle East in the 19th century.
