"Like much of the futuristic green building designs and great green architecture of today, the ugly redheaded stepchildren of the animal kingdom don’t get much attention compared to the perennial endangered animal favorites like pandas, polar bears, and owls. These are the cute, majestic, and otherwise emblematic creatures of the endangered species list. But there are hundreds more animal species on our wondrous planet that are critically threatened and need both publicity and support."
So true, so true...
But if people (in general) don't particularily care if these animals exist or go extinct would they then pay to see them for pure entertainments sake? Up close? In a zoo!?
It's definitely something to think about.
And now for some images of a few of these critically endangered animals that no one really cares about, feel free to scroll through then scroll up and start again if you really want another look...:
This is a baby aye aye, aww babies, so cute.
A blob fish, native to Australian waters actually. Now this is truly emblematic material!
Some male hooded seals, inflating their faces to impress the ladies. I know I'm impressed!
A Purple Frog.
