Well I guess that's another Endangered species I've seen in the wild, and both subspecies at that.

Delacour's langur
Grey-shanked douc
Black-shanked douc

 

Someone has been to Cuc Phuong

Where did you see Amazonian manatee?

 

Sure have. The EPRC has such a terrific model. A rescue facility that also operates as a breeding centre. Logical.

The Amazonian manatees I saw at the Forest of Science in Manaus, Brazil. They had a few adults in a series of outdoor tanks (that had bred at least once at that time) and it must of been almost a dozen tiny orphaned calves off-display in baby pools. I was lucky enough to bottle feed some of these. A beautiful species with lovely pink bellies.

The Forest Of Science has giant otters also.

 

I should'nt bump the thread but heres my updated list

Endangered

Otway Black Snail
European Rabbit*

Vunerable

Common Carp*
Fairy Tern
Koala
Hooded Plover
Grey Headed Flying Fox

 

In America I have seen only Californian Condors and Sea otters in the wild. In Ethiopia I have the faint memory of seeing some vultures which I think were hooded but I can't remember for the life of me.

 

That one surprised me !
I regularly fish and eat such carps myself at my parents's pond. There are plenty

So, I've seen

Vulnerable : Common carp
Endangered : European rabbit
Critically endangered : European eel

And I'm quite proud to have seen and photographed in the wild a bird I know isn't endangered in the world, but it is locally in France : griffon vulture

 

Here's an updated list for me:

Vulnerable
Chimney Swift
Horned Grebe
Common Carp (but only in introduced range)
Karner Blue
Long-tailed Duck
Greater Prairie-Chicken
Snowy Owl
Rusty Blackbird

Endangered
Whooping Crane
Little Brown Bat
Blanding's Turtle

 

I've seen, among others, the vulnerable Cypriot wild goat, the endangered Cypriot mouflon, the critically endangered population of Griffon vultures in Cyprus, the European eel and rabbit mentioned above and the Common carp. There are probably a few others I have forgotten.

 

Both the Cypriotic wild goat and the mouflon are feral domestics, so not really endangered species.

 

I thought I'd have a go at mentioning them anyway, but of course you are right. I thought we were allowed to count invasives/escaped domestics but fair enough
I still have the griffons
