[@twerp_]

Barbary leopards in Morocco are so rare that we aren’t even sure if they’re still around. But estimations are a population of 10-15, and the numbers are so low after colonial Frenchman hunted them for sport, which made the Barbary Lion in Morocco and Africa’s only bear species, the Atlas Bear in Morocco, go extinct.

with climate change expect them to go extinct...

The Panda is a rare bear species with only 2,000 individuals remaining. In comparison, the Gobi Bear has only 30 individuals left. Mongolians call it “Mazhalai.”

[@Youwillalwaysbetheonlyone]

Sir Attenborough's voice... Is so special

[@Lux-rg4wv]

It is listed as critically endangered by the Mongolian Redbook of Endangered Species. Currently, there are only 31 (95% CI: 32-38) bears left in the Mongolian Gobi Desert; through long-term genetic monitoring it is known that the population is relatively stable, however, the sex ratio is highly skewed towards males.

They mostly eats roots (especially wild rhubarb), berries, and wild onions. Also grass shoots and flowers. They are primarily herbivorous omnivores. The only “meat” they really eat is insects, and small rodents. They do not prey on large mammals.

I thought they are an isolated Asian Brown Bears cut off by the Gobi Desert. Mongolia and China can collaborate to create "forested/meadow highway” to connecting to other Asian brown bears habitats in Siberia, Central Asia and China’s Taklamakan desert….just my humble opinion.
