El macaco cangrejero (Macaca fascicularis) está clasificado como En Peligro (EN) en la Lista Roja de la UICN. Con alto riesgo de extinción en la naturaleza, con un declive significativo de la población y amenazas continuas para su supervivencia.

Lobo gris

El lobo gris (Canis lupus), el cánido silvestre más ampliamente distribuido, se extiende desde América del Norte a través de Eurasia en hábitats diversos que incluyen la tundra, bosques y praderas. Son animales altamente sociales que viven en manadas familiares lideradas por una pareja reproductora dominante. Como depredadores clave, los lobos regulan las poblaciones de presas y moldean profundamente la estructura del ecosistema, como demostró su reintroducción en Yellowstone. Antes muy perseguidos, las poblaciones se están recuperando en muchas regiones.
