The Zhou’s box turtle invented social distancing: Whenever it doesn’t like something, it goes into mini-lockdown and cuts off its connections to the outside world. The Tasmanian devil jumps around with red ears, stinking and screaming. The tree lobster, a misshapen South Sea yeti with a wobbly gait and armor, can clone itself.
But these fantastic animals are either extinct or their survival is on the line! Urban development, deforestation, and poaching have put many species in a highly precarious position. A group of committed animal lovers and protectors around the organization Citizen Conservation is working to prevent their ultimate extinction through its commitment to breeding and reintroduction projects. Preserving biodiversity is a crucial challenge for humanity!
