Hippos are endangered mainly because of poaching, hippos are poached for their teeth and for their unique heads. Another big reason for hippos being endangered is because of droughts, climate change is the cause mainly of droughts. The droughts are bad for hippos because they need the water that is evaporating both to drink and to live in.

The biggest threat to pangolins is illegal and unsustainable hunting by humans for their meat and scales. Pangolin scales and other body parts are used for traditional medicine in China, Vietnam and parts of West and Central Africa, despite the fact that there is no scientific evidence of them having any health benefits whatsoever.
