Tora hartebeest The tora hartebeest ("Alcelaphus buselaphus tora") is an extremely endangered antelope, native to Eritrea and Ethiopia. It has possibly been extirpated from Sudan. One of the most critically endangered large mammals in the world, it is threatened by poaching and habitat loss. Perhaps fewer than 250 individuals remain in the wild and there is no captive population, as little to no action has been taken to preserve them.

Pantanal jaguar The Pantanal jaguar was proposed as the largest subspecies of jaguar, with the taxonomic name "Panthera onca palustris" , native to the Pantanal of South America, besides Argentina, before later research failed to find evidence for different subspecies of jaguar.

Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary The Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary, established in 1989, is rich in flora and fauna. It is situated in the Lohit District of the northeastern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. The park is named after the Kamlang River which flows through it. The Mishmi, Digaru, and Mizo tribal people who reside around the periphery of the sanctuary claim their descent from the King Rukmo of the epic Mahabharata. They believe in a myth of an invisible god known as "Suto Phenkhenynon jamalu". An important body of water in the sanctuary is the Glow Lake. Located in tropical and sub-tropical climatic zones, the sanctuary is the habitat of the four big cat species of India: tiger, leopard, clouded leopard and snow leopard.

Balochistan leopard The Balochistan leopard or Baluchistan leopard ("Panthera pardus tulliana") was proposed as a leopard subspecies native to Baluchistan. Reginald Innes Pocock described it in 1930 on the basis of a single skin and two skulls from the Kirthar Mountains. He admitted that the skin closely resembled those of "P. p. saxicolor", but is distinguishable from the typical "P. p. fusca" in colour. Based on genetic analysis, it was subsumed to "P. p. saxicolor". It is considered synonymous with this subspecies.

Fauna of Italy Italy has the highest level of faunal biodiversity in Europe, with over 57,000 species recorded, representing more than a third of all European fauna. This is due to various factors. The Italian peninsula is in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea, forming a corridor between central Europe and North Africa, and has 8,000 km of coastline. Italy also receives species from the Balkans, Eurasia, the Middle East. Italy's varied geological structure, including the Alps and the Apennines, Central Italian woodlands, and Southern Italian Garigue and Maquis shrubland, also contribute to high climate and habitat diversity.
