pages long. Its useful for those who have time and knowledge to consult it in depth. More useful information came from the National Geographic, which tells us there are
eight bear species in the world, of which six are endangered. (National Geographic pulled its information from the Red List.) At any rate, the endangered bears, from most endangered to
least, are: the giant panda, the sun bear, the Asiatic black bear, the sloth bear, the Andean bear and the Polar bear (Most endangered bears ranked, 2008). The seventh bear
on the list, the brown bear, is a "species of least concern," which means that it is "not threatened with extinction" (Most endangered bears ranked, 2008). The last bear is
