Tim Flach went on a remarkable journey to photograph many endangered species that are disappearing due to habitat loss and climate change. This is the Pied Tamarin.

It's heartbreaking to see birds and animals labeled as "extinct in the wild" at the zoo.
PeachesPanTao
The Hyacinthe Macaw will be my house crest...
kgiraffe
The sea angels are kind of freaking me out for some reason. If I saw them IRL I would either think I was hallucinating or seeing aliens.

Okay, we have to keep the Saiga species alive by any means necessary. Those things are just too amazing to let die.

This monkey could be one of the Kardashian/Jenners with lips like those
mcgarry92
Really sad.
thifrigene
Soon we will be all gone because of ourselves anyway, this way we can give nature a nice break
Midrib
all of these pokemons look great

That shot of the Macaw is so awesome.

Joel Sartore also does this in his Photo Ark Project. https://www.joelsartore.com/gallery/the-photo-ark/

It appears nobody cares about the beluga sturgeon despite the fact a) it’s the largest animal in this gallery and b) it’s awesome
mishalala
OK. We're good. Make it stop.. Please. Could this please make it to FP

Beautiful but sad.

So many of these seem unreal. It's amazing to think that they actually exist, right now, on this planet. I hope we can keep them.

“May” soon vanish? There’s only 3 northern white rhinos left and they’re all family, so they’re going to go extinct soon no matter what.
PleaseNotTheFace
I think they're actually down to 2, as 1 recently passed.

#7 What that mouth do? (*ashamed* I've been on this site too long.)
Robin52
Why does the monkey look like one of the Kardashians mouth!
Kaoss01
It obviously got caught up with the whole lip plumping craze in Hollywood.
ashmenon
That looks like it's doing the snapchat face swap filter with an ant.
AReallyBakedTurtle
As a fish and wildlife college student, there are way more than just this and we need to do something actually significant rather than (1/2)
BlackPengu
Stop eating meat for starters
AReallyBakedTurtle
Just talk about it (2/2)

I thought they were small, they are infact not. They are 11-14 feet long. They are kinda scary.
TheosophicBlues
Still won't bother a human - jaws are basically for catching fish.

Just one of these animal's sad stories. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/quarter-worlds-saiga-antelope-are-dead-180962087/

I learned about it in a Weebl cartoon once; "Where can you see Saigas, only in Kenya - Only in Kenya, can you see Saigas"

Saiga~ Lives in the Taiga~

The only Saiga ive heard about is that Russian Shotgun
OldBlackMan
Bruised my shoulder unloading one last fall, it was awesome
Imjustherefortheluls
It's an antelope in Mongolia. Critically endangered.

Well, it's kinda scary.

In the thumbnail I thought it was a sheep with a shaved head. It really freaked me out that that's what sheep looked like... I just woke up.

A nigga would, I wish.
PleaseNotTheFace
Look up Joel Satore. He's been doing this for 25 years as part of the Photo Ark project.
ashmenon
Man, the dedication to stay on a project for 25 years. I can barely get puzzles doen.
PleaseNotTheFace
Right? I get an idea for something, stay on it for... 2 days, then lose interest.
ashmenon
Shit. That reminds me.
QueefLateena
I do a lot of photo work for the PBS affiliate in his city. Got to meet him twice.
PleaseNotTheFace
Cool! What did you guys talk about?
QueefLateena
Getting sick in 3rd world countries.
PleaseNotTheFace
Oof. Yeah that's gotta be a problem. Honestly one of my big fears that keeps me from travelling.

How come mosquitoes or those worms that crawl up your pee hole never go instinct.
KoyomiAraragi
Because bugs multiply like fuck
jimmythehat1
hardy durability, adaptable to their environment, large clutch sizes.
squintish
It's a fish.
KonradOwen
Read somewhere that, two mosquitos can (if under the right conditions,) turn into 1 billion mosquitos in one summer.

I bet they'd survive a nuclear winter

Instinct is why they end up in your pee hole. Because extinct is where you want to go. You're welcome ????

Even the Gods have a hard time mastering that. Goku can only assume that form for a few moments. What makes you think bugs can do it?

WORMS THAT WHAT????!?
definitelynotawolf
It’s a myth they don’t actually do that.
Steffn
What worms are we talking about in the first place? Are they refering to the candiru fish?
dasklaus
Easy. No danger of habitat loss.
swedishish
I first read your comment as, "Easy. No donger of habitat loss."

Just blow up Florida ez pz

Clearly you have never been to Alaska in the summer. If Florida mosquitos come with tail numbers, Alaskan ones come with jet engines.

The Saiga is such a strange and unique looking animal .It looks like something from Star Wars
AlmightyDiapahbetusGarlicGerbil
Or Michael Jackson's monkey.
pareidoliaperson
Yes, but this historical animal gets to come only this far! - Humanity probably.
theitinerantnaturalist
They used to be widespread but we killed them off at the end of the last ice age.
encyclopediabritannica
I've lived to see the Saiga Genesis and it looks like I'll live to see the Saiga Extinction.

I thought the same when I saw it. Didn't even know it existed!

Equinox13
They look kind of like a goat crossed with an eopie, now that you mention it.
Imjustherefortheluls
Totally agree!!
ThoughtfulTortuga
I didn't know they existed five mins ago and now I'm furious they're endangered.

Apparently they are a relic from the ice age. Learned it on planet earth 2
theitinerantnaturalist
Actually every living species is a relic from the ice age. It wasn’t long ago.
cavepainted
There are two overlapping reindeer in Chauvet Cave. The amount of time between the figures: 5000 years. That's like Egypt to present.

Still can't see why they didn't just buy Anakin's mom after winning the bet, they had the pod and Anakin too.
sendmeshirtlesskylorenmemes
maybe he just didn't want to sell her
Dedeurmetdebaard
Qui-Gonn wanted to do as he pleased with the kid without having to be accountable towards the mother.
Kidanose9000
I don’t think they had money to actually buy them that’s why they bet on the race.
umpbumpfizz
Let’s be real. Just shank that piece of shit. Jedi balance blah blah blah but we’re all thinking it.
VictusVonGuyver
There were a ton of species that had similar appearances, but died off during the ice age.
theitinerantnaturalist
Uh...nothing looks like the saiga. And while it is from the ice age, so are all species, including us.
VictusVonGuyver
Look up Macrauchenia Patachonica. it just lacks the horns. Been extinct for 10,000 years, but related to horses and rhino instead.
theitinerantnaturalist
The idea Macrauchenia had a trunk has been disproven. Also it went extxint due to humans.
VictusVonGuyver
You might want to reread whatever you were reading. it hasn't been disproven.
