Habitat Destruction Hydro-Electric Dams (Endangered Species of Germany) • • • Habitat Found in Mountains In Central Europe In Eastern Europe

The Hooded Seal (Cystophora cristata) (Endangered Species of Germany) • • • Why Endangered?

Hunters Oil Spills Fishing Nets • • Habitat Arctic Ocean North Atlantic Ocean

Endangered Animals (Albania) Eurasian Lynx   Poaching Habitat destruction  Lives in the northern mountainous region

Endangered Animals (France) • Mediterranean Monk Seal (Monachus monachus) Water Pollution • Hunting Lives in inaccessible caves

Endangered Animals (France) • Angel Shark (Squatina squatina) Hunting

Endangered Species of Italy • • • Apennine Chamois Lives in mountains Hunted to close extinctions

Endangered Species of Italy • • • Brown Bear They live in Forests Threatened because they are hunted for sport
