Some animals, no matter how hard nature activists try, will not appear. Rare inherent species are hard to find, so this may not be surprising. But if you can photograph it a little bit, you may change your understanding of rare creatures on the verge of extinction.
The more researchers take images of creatures, the more they can understand what they need and devote themselves to protecting the living environment on which they depend. However, for ordinary people to appreciate rare animals, only a little image is enough. With the help of camera catchers and other technologies, you can get a glimpse into the lives of creatures living in the depths of the forest and the deep sea.
The rarely photographed creatures mentioned in this article are not all endangered species. Some things are too mysterious to know the number of individuals in the wild.
Ruby (Phyllopteryx Dewysea)
West Dragon is a kind of fish with few species and belongs to the companion of bamboo shoots.
Scientists from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography and the Western Australian State Museum discovered Ruby Sidragon off the coast of Western Australia in 2016. They used a remote diving machine to observe two ruby dolphins in 30 minutes, learning about their living environment, autonomy and behavior.
This is the first time I have observed the same species in the sea. Unlike other seed Lagon, Ruby Lagon has a round tail and does not have accessory organs of other species. There will be something new at any time.
Sumatran rhino (Dicerorhinus Sumatrensis)
Sumatran rhinos are endangered and live in only a few places in Indonesia.
It is the only rhino in Asia with two horns. Poached around the corner and sold on the black market. The habitat is so small that wild Sumatran rhinos are thought to be about 80.
Scientists are trying to protect rhinos in wildlife reserves, including the Road canvas National Park in Sumatra and the Killian Conservation Forest. You can live at ease in a place like that. Pafu's female Sumatran rhinoceros was also protected as part of a nature conservation campaign to breed and increase the number of individuals in 2018. The picture above shows another rhino, Derya, born in the reserve in April 2020.
Cross River gorilla (Gorilla Gorilla Diehli)
This is the first time a group of Crosford gorillas have been photographed. It is speculated that they are endangered species, with only about 200-300 in the wild.
Humans continue to reclaim forests in Cameroon and Nigeria for agriculture and livestock, destroying indispensable habitats for gorillas. Although some people have carried out poaching, no killing of Crosford gorillas has been reported in Nigeria since 2012. The sightings of the gorilla were not recorded in the country.
But the new photos taken last month show that they are successful in reproduction.
Giant squid (Architeuthis Dux)
The characters in horror movies are impressive, and giant squid exist in reality.
There are still many mysteries about them, but through the expedition to capture the portraits above, we have gained insights into the actions of the squid. The team photographed giant squid as part of Journey Into Midnight's experience in the Gulf of Mexico in June 2019. This is the second time I have photographed him alive.
This is because the squid is hidden thousands of feet below sea level, and many of the numbers witnessed are corpses launched onto land. When studying animals, you also need to be alive. It is said that this squid is only about 12 feet. It's horrible.
Java rhino (Rhinoceros Sondaicus)
There are two kinds of rhinos in this rare creature for a corresponding reason.
In 2019, the number of Javanese rhinos was only 72. Although there is an increase from 68 the previous year, the figure is painfully small. Among the rhino's companions, the Javanese rhino is on the verge of extinction. He was forced to the limit because he lost his habitat by poaching. Even so, the slight increase in the number of individuals last year brought hope.
This image was released in early July at Wujun Kelong National Park in Java, Indonesia. Rarely seen in camera traps, opportunities that few people can observe. The photographer took wonderful shots in 2017 as part of the scientific mission. Like a rhinoceros enjoying a mud game, enjoy the photos.
Akavasemi (Ceyx Mindanensis)
This is the Yessenia Funes reporter's favorite bird. It is said to be a salute to the palette that likes feathers best. Not only does the Philippines, whose habitat is seen by the United States as the other side of the world, Akavasemi also said that from the point of view of observing the most difficult birds in the world, there seems to be no chance to watch it live.
It is very small and moves the forest at a fairly fast speed. Threatened by forest destruction, the bird experienced a "rapid decline in the number of individuals".
The above picture, taken in March 2020, is the only picture of Akakawasaimi baby. The bird was about three weeks old when Miguel De Leon, a biologist and Byrd observer, took this picture.
