Some cool about endangered animals images:
Babyrousa

I'll admit that this isn't a good photograph. But it's one of the most endangered species and visitors to the zoo usually don't give a fuck about it. It's a babyrousa, a small pig like animal. The teeth of the male babyrousa grow through the skull and skin and get to be as long as 30 cm. Some of these teeth tend to regrow into the skin. Yikes!

Visitors gather in the Grand Canyon Visitor Center to see birds on display like this golden eagle. The National Park Service and the Celebrate Wildlife Day team are extremely grateful to the Arizona Game and Fish Department of Wildlife Education Adobe Mountain Wildlife Center for their participation and for sharing their in-depth knowledge of Arizona’s wildlife during demonstrations held throughout the day. The Wildlife Center at Adobe Mountain works in cooperation with the Arizona Game and Fish Department to provide rehabilitative care for sick or injured wildlife, and to be an outstanding resource for education concerning Arizona's unique assortment of wild animals.
Did you know the golden eagle weights 10 lbs, can fly up in the jet stream (40,000 feet in the air), has an average of 7,000 feathers and can put 1,000 lbs of pressure with its talon? All things we learned on Wildlife Day. NPS Photo by Erin Whittaker..
