** THE STORY: **
This is the last frontier of our planet, the jungle.

** BALI TIGER - See, this is an adult Bali tiger.
It lives in the rainforests of the
northern Indonesian island of Bali
and is the smallest of the modern
tigers. Its habitat is rich in species,
and the Bali tiger's dinner is
plentiful in the sky and
underground. Here he is the king
of fairy tale world, on high, well fed.
Until they meet the only natural
enemy in their life: human beings.

On September 27, 1937, the Bali
tiger became extinct due to
excessive slaughter

** TEXAS WOLF - Listen, that's the cry of the Texas
red Wolf.
They live along the coast of Mexico
and are distinguished by the
distinctive dark red tips of their
ears. They can run up to 60
kilometers per hour and are
stealthy hunters. When you are still
and still, a sharp blow can make a
long distance between you and the
enemy.
But heroes die and the universe
changes.
The species became extinct in
1970 when the world's last Texas
red Wolf was shot (the sound of
the gun shot) to death off the coast
of Mexico due to human activity.

** HAWAIIAN SNAIL - This is George, the last golden -
crowned Hawaiian snail on earth.
Once one of the most abundant
species in Hawaii, the golden
crown tree snail was known as the
language of the forest. George was
born in the Hawaiian rainforest in
1995 and watched as his fellow
humans were transformed into
multicolored necklaces, leaving
flesh and blood to feed alien
species. He moved to a lab at the
university of Hawaii in 1997 and
spent 12 lonely years in an
incubator.
George died on January 1, 2019,
aged 14. Hawaii golden tree snail
extinct.

** CHAMELEON
As good disguises, chameleons
rely on environmental awareness
as a survival skill. Once, they were
as numerous as cattle in the wild
and even kept as pets. Today, nine
chameleons are classified as
critically endangered by the
international union for conservation
of nature (iucn), 37 as endangered,
20 as vulnerable and 35 as near
threatened.
The earth's species one after
another disappear, biological
natural formation of the food chain
fault, how many species will go
extinct, human beings do not know.
