How many animals are endangered in Wild TCG?
71 of the game's 224 mammals are threatened with extinction on the IUCN Red List: 10 critically endangered, 29 endangered and 32 vulnerable. The Père David's deer is extinct in the wild.
What does “critically endangered” mean?
It is the most serious category before extinction in the wild: the IUCN considers that the species faces an extremely high risk of disappearing from nature.
What is the difference between “vulnerable” and “endangered”?
Both are threatened categories. A vulnerable species faces a high risk of extinction, an endangered species a very high one.
Who decides that an animal is threatened?
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) assesses each species and places it on its Red List, from “least concern” to “extinct”.
