The vulnerable species have such declining numbers that they are at risk (1). Threatened species have enough numbers but are decreasing in their normal environment. Endangered species are on the verge of extinction. Existing no longer, are extinct species (2). Within the present years, there are currently thirty-eight known mammal species that have been listed as extinct (1).
