Endangered animals are at risk of becoming extinct in the near future. Threatened animals are likely to become endangered if their population continues to decline. Extinct animals no longer exist in the wild or in captivity.
Five categories of risk species include extinct, extinct in the wild, critically endangered, endangered and vulnerable.
Endangered Species are ones that have a very small population and that population is at a greater risk of becoming extinct. Many species that become extinct never make to the endangered species list. Extinct Species are ones that are either known (documented) to be extinct or are so few in population that a recovery is considered highly unlikely even under excellent conditions.
