This article highlights several endangered species, focusing on the Golden Toad (Bufo periglenes) from Costa Rica, which is now extinct due to Chytrid fungus and habitat loss. The Mono Titi (Saimiri oerstedii), a primate living on the southern Pacific coast, faces extinction with a population of about 1,700, threatened by deforestation and hunting. The extinct Irish Elk (Megaloceros giganteus) roamed areas from Ireland to Siberia but vanished 7,700 years ago due to hunting. Lastly, the Siberian Tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) is critically endangered, with around 200-300 in the wild, suffering from habitat invasion and hunting.
