All of the above species are extremely important to our earth. These creatures all play vital roles in the environment, whether it be as predator or prey. We should be taking measures to protect these animals. We could "adopt" one of these creatures or take measures to protect our environment to ensure the safety of these animals. It is very important that these animals do not become extinct, and we should all do our part to save them.
