Lynx

They are endangered because thier food is disappearing and hunting for fur. Mommies have 2-3 babies. They can hide in stumps or fallen logs. Their cousin is a bobcat. They hunt at night so people hardly see them. They have so good eyesight that when it is a full moon and its in the middle of the night they can still see.
I'm mad at the humans that kill them! I like them becasue they are a kind of cat. If I saw one i would hug it and kiss it and keep it for a pet. I think they are cute, adorable, nice, they would kiss me and I love them!

Gray Wolf

Gray wolves are endangered because they are losing their homes and people kill them after they kill their livestock.Wolves and dogs are closely related. Wolf pups play a lot--they like to leap, play hide and seek and also tag. They are the biggest wild dogs. When a wolf pup is born it weighs one pound. A gray wolf lives 6-8 years. Wolves almost never attack humans. A wolf eats about 20 pounds of food in one meal.
I'm sad that wolves are endangered because I love endangered animals.
If I would see one I would hug it and keep it for a pet. I would not kiss it because it is not a cat.
They're cute, they're nice and we definitely need to protect them. You can protect them by giving them food if you see one maybe even some water.
I like wolves because they are cute and adorable. You could help the wolves so they are not endangered.

They live in swampy areas, rain forests and even deserts. They are losing their home. People  take their skin and they posion the black jaguar. They can night hunt good because of their black fur and their eyes are really good. They are the third largest cat. Only tigers and lions are bigger.
The black jaguar is so black that you might not see it at night. I like the black jaguar because its a kind of cat. It is important to save them because they are awesome and cute! If I see one I would hug it and kiss it and have it for a pet.

Cheetahs

The world's fastest land animal. Cheetahs can run 70 miles per hour. They don't roar.They are endangered because of hunting, losing their home and what they eat is disappearing.
I like cheetahs because they are a kind of cat. It makes me a little sad and sometimes I cry a little bit because cheetahs are endangered.
If I could see a cheetah I would hug it and kiss it and I would have it for a pet.
They are taking the cheetahs for their fur and skin. Please don't buy leather or fur products.
