Name of animals Name of the habitat Their problems

1) Vulture The preferred habitats of the Vulture are deserts, savannas and grassland near a water source. Diclofenac is toxic to vultures even in small doses, causing kidney failure. That results in uric acid accumulating in the birds' blood and crystallizing around their internal organs—a condition called visceral gout. Carrion depots have become rare in villages. As, a result vultures do not get adequate food.

Their habitat depends on the species. The greatest threat facing African Rhinos is poaching for the illegal trade in their horns, which has soared in recent years.
