Bat Soup At this point, I think you already know how dangerous eating a bat can be. The whole reason 2020 is such a mess with Covid-19 is because someone somewhere, ate a bat. And bats have many diseases that are transferable to humans. 16. Orange Roughy These fish usually occur at depths exceeding 5,900 feet (1,800 m) in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Noted for living more than 200 years, they were once known as “Slimeheads”. In the 1970s it was rebranded as the Orange Roughy, and sales of the fish skyrocketed. As demand grew worldwide, the animals were overfished and their populations decreased. 15. Yellow-breasted Bunting These small birds migrate from the forests of Finland and spend the winter in Southeast Asia, India, and south China. They were classified as “of least concern” as recently as 2004. Since then, their population has undergone a calamitous decline, and they are now regarded as critically endangered. 14. Lowland Tapirs There are four widely recognized species of these animals that are found in Central and South America and in Southeast Asia. This one occurs in the Amazon Rainforest and River Basin, from Venezuela to Argentina. They have long been hunted by indigenous people for use as a food source. 13. Bluefin Tuna Now tuna might be tasty, but commercial demand from raw fish markets has led to severe overfishing of these animals. In particular, the Atlantic Bluefin is highly sought after for its meat. They can measure some 15 feet (4.5 m) and weigh 1,500 pounds (680 kg), so they yield a lot of food. 12. Chinese Giant Salamanders At 6 feet long (1.8 m) and weighing about 110 pounds (50 kg) this is the world’s largest amphibian. Unlike some animals on our list, this one might be more highly desired for its use in traditional medicines than for a food source. 11. Pangolins This prehistoric-looking animal is said to be the world’s only mammal that is covered in scales. Did you know those scales are made of keratin, just like your fingernails? Pangolins occur in Africa and Asia, and can grow to just under 40 inches (1 m) long. 10. Eastern Lowland Gorillas These Great Apes found in tropical rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo are also known as Grauer’s (gr’ow-wers) Gorillas. They’re impressive specimens, standing more than 5 feet all (1.5 m) and weighing about 400 pounds (181 kg). 9. Saolas Before its discovery, this large bovine was often called the Asian Unicorn because it was so seldom seen. Confirmation of the animal’s existence finally occurred in 1992, when its remains were found in mountain forests of Vietnam on the border of Laos. 8. European Eel These snake-like fish have long been a staple in the diets of many countries. In Italy, they’re often fried as a tasty snack. In the UK they’re the source of eel stew and jellied eels. And in the Netherlands they’re smoked and combined with toast. 7. African Elephants Elephant poaching has been illegal since 1939, but the demand for their ivory tusks has never wavered. In fact, it might be stronger than ever. Poachers call it white gold because the material is so lucrative. 6. Indri Lemurs Like all of these primates, Indri Lemurs are native only to Madagascar. This is one of the largest extant species, weighing more than 20 pounds (9.5 kg). Easily identified by their black-and-white coats, they play an important role in the myths and legends of the Malagasy people. 5. Red Colobus There are at least 17 species of these large-bodied Old World monkeys that occur in central, eastern, and western Africa. Almost all species are endangered thanks to factors including deforestation and hunting. 4. Angel Sharks Until the mid-20th century, the range of these animals extended from Ireland and Norway to the Black Sea. But now that range has contracted by about 80-percent. And in the North Sea it is thought to have died out. 3. Beluga Sturgeon These ancient fish can grow to enormous sizes, with the largest reliably documented weight exceeding 3,460 pounds (1,570 kg) and measured more than 23.5 feet long (7.1 m). You probably know that caviar is fish eggs. 2. Ortolan Bunting They’ve been name-dropped on TV shows from “Succession” to “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”. But chances are, you’re not so familiar with these birds if you live outside of Europe. 1. Tigers Poachers have long targeted these great cats for their striped fur, which is coveted as a trophy. And it’s no secret that the animal’s various body parts are constantly in demand for use as ingredients in traditional medicines. #poisonous #animals #talltanic'
