What are some of the rarest animals in the world? How many more?

The only one of the world's rarest animals left is the northern white rhinoceros.

It is said that in 2018, the last male northern white rhinoceros Sultan died, and in 2015, in order to save this subspecies, people cut off the horns of the sultan, and sent 40 armed men to guard it 24 hours a day, fearing that poachers would kill the sultan for the rhinoceros horns.

The white rhinoceros is tall and strong, known as the king of rhinoceros, the maximum body length can reach 420 cm, the largest wild white rhinoceros can reach 3600 kg, and the captive can even reach 4000 kg, the horn of the white rhinoceros is the longest among all rhinos, the highest record reached 158 cm, so the human attachment to the rhinoceros horn is vividly reflected in its body.

Because white rhinos can't escape the guns of illegal hunters, their numbers have been declining dramatically. There are two varieties of white rhinos, one is the more abundant southern white rhinoceros and the other is the dying northern white rhinoceros, as of the 1997 survey, there are only eight northern white rhinos in the world. As of 2009, only the last four northern white rhinos in the world remained, living in zoos in the Czech Republic, and then sent to the original survival area for special protection, in 2014, one of the male white rhinoceros called "Suni" died, until 2015, the world only left the last male northern white rhinoceros, his name is "Sudan", and then in order to save this subspecies, his rhinoceros horn was cut, even so he was afraid of thieves. So 40 armed men were also sent to guard it 24 hours a day.

The three rarest animals of the world are:

1. White-sided dolphin:

The baiji dolphin family is a small freshwater whale endemic to China. The body is spindle-shaped, the body length is meters, and the weight can reach 230 kg. The baiji dolphin evolved from terrestrial animals during the long evolutionary process, and is the rarest of all cetaceans in the world.

2. Giant panda:

The giant panda is fat and bear-like, plump and rich, with a round head and a short tail, a long head and torso, and a tail length of 10-12 cm. Weight 80-120 kg, up to 180 kg. The giant panda has lived on the earth for at least 8 million years, and is known as a "living fossil" and a "national treasure of China", that is, a national animal, an ambassador of the World Wide Society for Nature, and a flagship species for the world's biodiversity conservation.

3. Hairy-nosed wombat:

The hairy-nosed wombat is a group of animals in the wombat family. Distributed in Queensland, Australia and other places, the Australian woolly nose wombat, also known as the Queensland woolly snouted wombat, is a type of wombat. It is mainly distributed in the semi-desert grassland areas of the eastern, southern and central Queensland of Australia, and is a rare animal endemic to Australia.

Although its appearance is somewhat fierce and unsightly, it is an authentic herbivore. The hairy nose wombat is on the verge of extinction due to habitat destruction and human hunting.
