Chinese alligators
While American alligator populations are exploding, their Asian cousins are in danger. There are only about 200 Chinese alligators living in the wild in a handful of ponds along the lower Yangtze River in eastern China. They were pushed out of their habitats by agriculture and the presence of poisoned rats, which the alligators eat. The species is thriving in captivity, with about 10,000 around the world.
