Save the Platicorn!!

Did you know that the Platicorn is the most endangered animal in the world? There are only 150 specimens living in the wild! Scientists say that if something doesn't change soon, the species will be extinct in 2030! Something needs to be done! 


  The Platicorn is critically endangered


Their problems are caused mostly because of their own adaptations, and they are only made more problematic by human damage to the natural environments. The Platicorn is highly territorial, needing more than 18 acres squared in which to survive. Humans are destroying the precious acres remaining as farmland, and these majestic beasts are finding themselves with no place to go. Another cause of danger to the Platicorns is in the genetic build of the species itself. Once it mates, it looses all its deadly poison, leaving it more or less vulnerable to other Platicorns and some other extremely viscus predators (Of course, it still is quite powerful).
To save the Platicorn, we all need to do our share! Firstly, and most importantly, protect the Platicorn's habitats! Don't pollute swamps and forests. Recycle and reuse paper, and be knowledgeable to the problems in the enviroment!
We need to do all we can to save the Platicorn!!
