EDGE Explained

How does a species become Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered?

Well.. we've broken it down. Here's all you need to know...

Check out some of the oldest, most unique and most endangered species on our planet.

Purple Frog

Talk about reclusive! The purple frog lives entirely underground and emerges one day a year to party – oh, and breed.

Kottigehar Dancing Frog

You’ll only find this “dancing” frog in forest streams. It uses a groovy move, waving its hind legs in the air to attract a mate.

Indian Pangolin

Spoiler alert: it’s not a reptile! These extraordinary creatures are the world’s only scaly mammals. They’re also the most illegally trafficked wild mammal on earth.

Great Hornbill

These ”farmers of the forest” help disperse seeds far and wide; they’re important for the health of tropical forests.

Aye-aye

This elusive primate has enough jaw-power to bite through concrete! It uses a bony middle finger to find grubs in trees in its native Madagascar.

Kākāpō

Kākāpō are the world’s heaviest and only flightless parrot. They live in New Zealand where there are fewer than 200 of them.
