Detailed explanation-1: -Species that are likely to perish are called endangered species. Endangered species are considered to be in imminent danger of extinction. Therefore endangered species must be protected to save them from extinction. Examples of endangered species include tigers, blue whales, musk deer, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -An endangered species is a species that is likely to become extinct if protective measures are not taken immediately. A threatened species is a species that has a declining population and that is likely to become endangered if it is not protected.

Detailed explanation-3: -When we remove a species that was formerly listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), we “delist” that species. We remove species from the lists of endangered and threatened species for three reasons: The species has recovered to the point that it no longer needs the ESA’s protection.

Detailed explanation-4: -(3) Endemic species: These are species that are found only in some particular areas, usually isolated by natural or even geographical barriers. E.g. Asiatic lion. (4) Endangered species: These are species that are in danger of extinction.
