The document discusses several endangered species including the blue whale, Asian tiger, polar bear, giant panda, and red wolf. It notes that blue whales were heavily hunted for their blubber and oil, reducing their numbers to 1,500-2,500 remaining. Asian tigers are illegally killed for their pelt and body parts used in traditional Asian medicine. Polar bears were the first species added to the endangered list due to risks from global warming. Giant pandas face threats from increased human population and deforestation, leaving only 1,600 in the wild. Red wolves lost habitat and food sources due to deforestation. The document provides suggestions for how to help endangered species and questions about the topics covered.
