it's kinda crazy that white cloud mountain minnows are extinct in the wild because they are nearly immortal in fish tanks. i've had them not only survive, but breed in an unfiltered, stagnant bucket of water. they never stop making babies.
I had white clouds in a 55 gallon in the basement that I thought I had gotten all of them out but I guess they had eggs. I got sick and the tank just sat in the basement for 6 months. Found living, fat white clouds when I was finally well enough to finish dismantling it.
@@robertmcauslan6191 similar story lol. i started with 4 whiteclouds in my 55g, then one day i suddenly had 100 whiteclouds. a few weeks later i had to move house, so i put them all in buckets to transport them. after moving, one of the buckets was forgotten in the shed for a a few months. no aeration, no filtering, no food, in the dark, forgotten. when i found it again a while later, the baby whiteclouds in the bucket had grown up and had even more babies. amazingly resilient fish, i love them.
I felt this way about seeing Bald Eagles return to the town I grew up in. The incredible pollution from the factory town had all but completely driven them off. It's incredible to see how far they have come
I remember reading about them in my first bird book as a kid (I'm a 1991 edition), and how there were barely 30 left in the whole world. Now there are hundreds, even flying free again!
I had no idea about the sulawesi shrimp. A good friend of mine has them and I am so enamored by them. She is working on a project to make them much easier to care for overall, actually. They normally require hyper precise water that is not the easiest to make as it requires C02 to aid in dissolving the salt mix in reverse osmosis water. Caridina shrimp also require special salts added to RO water, but the salts easily dissolve as is. Currently my friend has acclimated Sulawesi shrimp to Caridina parameters. They are not just flourishing, but she is now 2 generations deep. Babies born in these parameters are now having babies. She's beginning to split them into separate colonies in the event something happens, she'll be less likely to lose every shrimp and have to start over. I have Malaysian Trumpet Snails that were acclimated to brackish water. Mine are breeding, which from what I've gathered is quite unusual. My specialty is Opae Ula, a brackish species from Hawaii. I've been breeding them for 6 or so years now. They were nearly wiped out years ago as they were a very popular seahorse food and due to habitat loss. It's quite hard to find them as it's illegal to harvest them from the wild now. Far fewer people saw shrimp as pets back then so their numbers in captivity and the wild dropped post ban. They are the easiest pet to keep, but breed slowly. They can live over 20 years, so they aren't in much of a rush. Also, please feed them. EcoSpheres are just horrific.
I was an active shrimp hobby enthusiast when the Sulawesi cardinal shrimp was discovered. They took the hobby by storm. Haven’t been in the hobby for over a decade. I am shocked to find out they are extinct in the wild. They require extremely specific mineral levels and very warm water.
I once raised a colony of Simandoa cave roaches. For a species that lived in one cave system and fed on one kind of food, they sure can thrive on a range of foods and they multiply like crazy. They do best on fruit with a little bit of protein.
@Lenlon703 I'm actually really confused as to how they only lived in one cave system because they were THAT good at making more of themselves with a very basic, easily provided diet. Some people do have issues raising them, though, but I had them in an enclosure where I made a simulated cave wall and I only fed them kitchen scraps, no pre-made roach chow.
Edward's pheasant was saved thanks to one French man, who imported birds, kept some and gave the others to friends in France and UK. The zoo he founded is still important in bird conservation and I plan to visit it someday :) also, 6 birds born in captivity in Europe left for Vietnam in 2022 for a reintroduction program ! :D I've seen several species you mentioned in captivity in France. Thanks to recognize the importance of the pet trade in conservation. Many people forget that. Private owners can make a difference. I keep myself a species of fish classified as endangered.
As a veterinary student, I externed at a zoo that was doing preservation work with Mhoor’s Gazelle and got to work with the two in their collection. It was an honor.
I visited Bangladesh in the winter of 2022 and I now realise I visited the temple where the black softshell turtles are, and I've found pictures on my phone of them. Absolutely incredible, and I had no idea at the time that I was looking at an animal that was so rare.
And thank you for uploading this, I would have never realised otherwise. I've got a passion for all things zoology related and this discovery has made me so happy 😊
It sucks how this exact same fate also happened to that species of pupfish that was also talked about on this channel, along with some other unique species. The one pool where they existed was drained to build a bathhouse. It's genuinely disgusting.
The scimitar-horned oryx were also once declared Extinct in the Wild! Through conservation efforts and the dedication of zoos, they have been successfully reintroduced into protected areas in the wild. Last year, their IUCN status was even upgraded to Critically Endangered. I love it when species make comebacks in the wild, preserving species is so important for biodiversity and the health of ecosystems. Amidst all the bad news about species loss, it’s refreshing to highlight success stories like this, showing that positive change is possible🥺
Kansas City Zoo is local to me and I consider myself lucky that I have access to viewing them. I checked the Wikipedia page just now and they have been raised to only Endangered!
The Mhorr gazelle is such a beautiful animal, i occassionally visit the Munich zoo were they are kept and its a joy to watch them. I hope they are able to bounce back eventually
The dot in Germany in the European Bison map is, sadly, out of date. After a series of court cases in the area they were rewilded in (most of the forests there are privately owned and the organisation organising the project went bankrupt over reimbursing the owners for damages caused by the animals), they were rounded up in september of 2024 and are currently waiting in captivity while some wildlife organisations are suing for their freedom (on grounds of some being born in the wild and the capturing of wild animals being illegal in Germany) and others are trying to rehome them to other rewilding sites. Source: I live in the area, was lucky enough to see them in the wild while hiking and out on my motorcycle twice, and have been following the entire story in the newspaper over the past 20 years or so.
As someone who owns and breeds white cloud minnows, the story of the species is quite disheartening. However, it’s one of the many examples of how a species can be saved from extinction through captive breeding programs.
@@justastaronblox5823 FYI, uploading videos DOESN'T make you a UA-camr.

its crazy to me that fish keepers tend to be the best pet owners possible. it seems that every high level fish keeper's goal is to breed their fish. if there was a group of pet owners id trust with an endangered spieces is fish keepers and invertebrate keepers.
Yes, compare that with dog and cat owners that let their pet destroy wildlife. 😢 I love keeping insects as pets, thanks for appreciating invertebrate keepers!
@vaya-dragon1998 as a dog owner and indoor cat owner I can't say anything about them. But the sheer lengths Ive seen invert keepers go through to find out the perfect environment for their pets is insane. I 100% believe the only reason we have specific soil types is because of invert keepers and as an ackie keeper I thank you.
@@Strawberrymilkdrink glad to see you keep your cat indoors. Unfortunately that’s not the norm where I live. I support responsible dog and cat owners. Also I looked up what an ackie is, nice lizard.
many aquarium animals are wild caught and endangered partially due to exotic pet trade so i wouldn't go that far to call them "best pet owners possible". that's also ignoring all the neglect and mistreatment fish suffer due to inbreeding and bad husbandry, which is extremely common in most popular species (mainly bettas and goldfish)
The Przewalski's horse is beautiful, they had them for years in Chester zoo and i always made a point of seeing them, sad when they left, but i believe they are home in Mongolia now
They have a higher chance of surviving then the northern white rhino,I completely lost hope for saving them because there are only two northern white rhinos left and there both female so there is no saving them no matter what we do😢
I was briefly in the Zoo Technology program at Santa Fe Community College, where they have a captive breeding program for the Guam Rail in their teaching zoo. They're also working on breeding and re-introducing the Grasshopper sparrow and a species of Dune mouse.
This video had me crying happy and sad tears. It’s very heartwarming to hear about the successes. My heart broke in 2020 for the California Condor. One of their habitats is in Big Sur, not far from where I live, and it burned in 2020 due to the Dolan fire. 9 free flyers and 2 chicks lost along with research facilities, breeding habitat, etc. I find these birds oddly beautiful and so hope they make a come back. And hearing about the Southern White Rhino (even though I already knew) made me cry like a baby (even though I already have). All in all, great video.
My bois! The White Cloud minnows!! I love them 😍 They're so pretty when the males splay out when sparring. Fun fact, they're also called the Poor Man's Tetra (despite them being a type of carp) 😂
A more important note is that only the cold water subspecies of White cloud mountain minnows are extinct in the wild, the warm water ones are still out there
I really love the videos you do as you don’t just show the same photos over and over or ones that are inaccurate or fake as some channels do. And also that you will caption some of the photos and give credit to those who took them. I can really tell you put great effort into making and researching for these videos with credible information!
i’ve always lived near the bronx zoo so i go there often. they have a group of przewalski’s horses on their wild asia monorail. iirc two foals were born last year, and one of them was born right as a monorail car full of people was passing by their exhibit LOL
There is a feral introduced population of White Cloud Mountain Minnow in a river on the Hawaiian island I live on. Im not sure how long they have been there, but they seem to be doing well. Local biologists are aware of them, but Im not sure if internationally that is known.
As a fish keeper, I am sad for all these fish that got extinct in the wild ... but am relieved that this hobby helps to keep some species in some kind of way ... another example is the betta mahachaiensis ( endangered in its local area of Thailand, same sad story as every species , human need space , land and water so they keep destroying everything and only when the species is on the verge of extinction that they decide to act )
I keep Simandoa conserfarium. Took about a year for them to begin breeding, but they are very steadily reproducing! They like to be kept a little drier than my other cave roaches specifically when breeding. They eat all kinds of food but enjoy fruit and some dry proteins.
I have had the pleasure of seeing both the Northern White Rhino and the California Condor at the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park (now called the Safari Park, but the old name will always be what I call it). It's been a while since they had any of the rhinos, but every time I go I always go see the condors. They're all beautiful animals.
Hearing your voice breaking while the video progresses is heartbreaking. Thank you for educating us on different species and their status in the wild/captivity
With the technology of genetic scrambling, we should be able to get a more diverse captive population, so few individuals left doesn't really mean a guaranteed genetic bottleneck anymore, which is awesome for many species on the brink. You should do a video on micro wild betta fish, like Api-Api! Pretty much every species in on the brink of extinction in the wild, and even people in the aquarium hobby haven't been working with them as much as they should to preserve them as a species. I work with some personally, and they're delightfully underrated animals. Most of the time, they're found in leaf litter, and not even in water, proper!
Probably the best recovery of one of the animals registered as EW has gotta be the cyanopsitta spixii or the Spix's macaw, the brazillians have made a wonderful job at conserving this beauty and have successfully released some of them into the wild as of august 2024 and even got eggs from these "Wild" macaws. Wonderful improvement. It's such a shame that it was killed till the brink of extinction in the first place. Clearly people don't know about the power of prevention
As a aquarist who teaches people not to dump their fish in local waters, and how to native collect species. I find it very funny how often we are blamed for invasive species, when it's the importers who fail to sell their stock and often release unsold inventory. Or ship ballasts that collect water in say like the Indian ocean, then dump the water in the Gulf of Mexico. Like fish don't survive in them.... Meanwhile, creatures that are virtually extinct in the wild are being bred and loved by millions. Keeping the species alive. Yes, there are unethical fish owners. But most people keep their fish till death from my experience.
Crazy how well and informative this video is! No bs no playing around to drag the duration, but straight to the point and incredibly detailed! Thank you for this!
I never expected to see Sulawesi Cardinal Shrimp in this list. This shrimp is pretty cheap and popular in Makassar, who would've thought they're extinct in the wild.
I don'T know why explicitly Rhinos make me tear up everytime when I her about their conservation status. But something about possibly being among the last living generations of humans to witness rhinoceroses (at least in the wild) specificaly makes me incredibly sad. And all because for once there are now crafty forgers out there making fake rhino horns from idk horse hair or something like that. (I say this, because it's hard to get rid of superstious believes, so we should definitly start with the poachers, not the buyers here).
People vote, animals don't. Look at the the returning president, I'm sure a lot of environmental and pollution controls are going to be cut in the name of "getting rid of stifling regulations".
I had the pleasure of seeing a California condor sorta just.. _vibing_ here in Arizona. If I'd known what, exactly, it was; and how _rare_ it was to be in my position; I would've gotten a picture or two.
31:48 Could an idea for a future topic be about parasite conservation (since saving the California Condor resulted in the extinction of the parasite that depends on it)?
Funfact: we also still have some Trees from Easter Island. So technically it could be reforested. But since the entire Echosystem is gone, it could also be a good Option to leave the Island as it is, as a Monument for Humanities Distespect for Nature (or do both and only reforest a specific Part of the Island)
i'd love to see you do a video about red wolves, a critically endangered species that went extinct in the wild. i feel like they really could use some focus now, with the election promising bad things to come, as the last time we had this person in power, their wild population, which had been slowly increasing, dropped from around 100 individuals to less than 20 in the wild. i'm afraid with how things went last time, we could see a second extinction in the wild for them
I didn't realize this was a series, since the Algorithm didn't show me the others. You may have covered it elsewhere, but one of the most famous EW plants in the USA is Franklinia altamaha, which resembles a deciduous Gordonia. We don't really know why it had almost vanished when Bartram found it. We do know it is a beautiful tree, though not the easiest to grow, and thus has been preserved in landscaping.
Really makes you wonder how many of these super small niche populations of animal disappeared because we did something like we just happened to dried out the one random pond they lived.
30:54 in sweden. You aren’t allowed to hunt birds with lead bullets. Thanks to that, all birds of prey have had major recoveries for the last few decades.
Saw a video of someone who had like 20 California condors that seem to hang out at their house that’s so cool a rare hope they realize the privilege they have
Medicine is typically poison in a much lower dose, applied to counteract the negative aspects of a correctly diagnosed problem. It certainly is NOT food.
Hello Mr. Wildlife(its now your nickname for me) When i finish a book im making called "The Zoo Workshop" i will upload it the same day you reach 100k, even tho i discovered your channel VERY recently in november 2024, it only took a single comment to make this comment I hope u reach 100k - Your fan Mr. Hayat
Absolutely love the breeding program that the Smithsonian conservation institute has done for the BLack footed ferret and the Przewalski's horse. Im taking up an intership at the center soon and cant be any moee excited to work near these animals in genetics!
If you're a fishkeeper/aquarist, breeding Matano Shrimp is almost impossible in captivity, and it's impossible not to breed white cloud minnow in your tank 🤣
The human thought process of seeing an incredibly rare wild animal and going "Hmm, pet" is so frustrating. It's so sad that a lot of these species are only preserved through the exotic pet trade
You could do this video on fish species alone. The fish club I’m in has a point system for breeding unique species of fish and the C.A.R.E.S. species are double points so we have a good handful of species that members are breeding and selling to each other.
Respect for covering plant life and not just animals.
People don't understand that there ARE endangered plants as well...
@ I do. That’s why I’m happy that plants got coverage, too. People tend to overlook endangered plant life.
at first i was like "damn wtf did the bird do" until i realized EW stands for extinct in the wild.
Some comforting news-the Maui Bird Conservation Center released a new batch of ‘Alalā (Hawaiian Crow) back into the wild. Wish them luck!
I heard last time they tried a release, they recaptured the birds since hawaiian hawks kept killing them
@ This is true. Now they are releasing them on Maui where the ‘Io do not live
Good luck crows !

California Condor Numbers were as Low as 22 in the Mid 1980s .
It’s pointless species. It evolved to scavenge megafauna

I can really tell you put great effort into making and researching for these videos with credible information!
In the first borat movie he visits a privet farm
The Albatross has the widest wingspan out of all birds alive today
i’ve always lived near the bronx zoo so i go there often. they have a group of przewalski’s horses on their wild asia monorail. iirc two foals were born last year, and one of them was born right as a monorail car full of people was passing by their exhibit LOL
I will always respect ppl who try to save another species
Crazy how the pet trade has kept so many species alive
There is a feral introduced population of White Cloud Mountain Minnow in a river on the Hawaiian island I live on. Im not sure how long they have been there, but they seem to be doing well. Local biologists are aware of them, but Im not sure if internationally that is known.
Awesome video ❤
Great video! New sub 😊
As a fish keeper, I am sad for all these fish that got extinct in the wild ... but am relieved that this hobby helps to keep some species in some kind of way ... another example is the betta mahachaiensis ( endangered in its local area of Thailand, same sad story as every species , human need space , land and water so they keep destroying everything and only when the species is on the verge of extinction that they decide to act )
thank you for making these videos
great video and research!
I keep Simandoa conserfarium. Took about a year for them to begin breeding, but they are very steadily reproducing! They like to be kept a little drier than my other cave roaches specifically when breeding. They eat all kinds of food but enjoy fruit and some dry proteins.
I have had the pleasure of seeing both the Northern White Rhino and the California Condor at the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park (now called the Safari Park, but the old name will always be what I call it). It's been a while since they had any of the rhinos, but every time I go I always go see the condors. They're all beautiful animals.
Hearing your voice breaking while the video progresses is heartbreaking. Thank you for educating us on different species and their status in the wild/captivity
With the technology of genetic scrambling, we should be able to get a more diverse captive population, so few individuals left doesn't really mean a guaranteed genetic bottleneck anymore, which is awesome for many species on the brink.
You should do a video on micro wild betta fish, like Api-Api! Pretty much every species in on the brink of extinction in the wild, and even people in the aquarium hobby haven't been working with them as much as they should to preserve them as a species. I work with some personally, and they're delightfully underrated animals. Most of the time, they're found in leaf litter, and not even in water, proper!
Probably the best recovery of one of the animals registered as EW has gotta be the cyanopsitta spixii or the Spix's macaw, the brazillians have made a wonderful job at conserving this beauty and have successfully released some of them into the wild as of august 2024 and even got eggs from these "Wild" macaws. Wonderful improvement. It's such a shame that it was killed till the brink of extinction in the first place. Clearly people don't know about the power of prevention
As a aquarist who teaches people not to dump their fish in local waters, and how to native collect species.
I find it very funny how often we are blamed for invasive species, when it's the importers who fail to sell their stock and often release unsold inventory. Or ship ballasts that collect water in say like the Indian ocean, then dump the water in the Gulf of Mexico. Like fish don't survive in them....
Meanwhile, creatures that are virtually extinct in the wild are being bred and loved by millions. Keeping the species alive.
Yes, there are unethical fish owners. But most people keep their fish till death from my experience.
Crazy how well and informative this video is! No bs no playing around to drag the duration, but straight to the point and incredibly detailed! Thank you for this!
This amazing video
Love your videos!
I never expected to see Sulawesi Cardinal Shrimp in this list. This shrimp is pretty cheap and popular in Makassar, who would've thought they're extinct in the wild.
I love your channel
Sick video dude keep it up
so many beautiful animals. I like the first pheasant vietnamese bird.
I don'T know why explicitly Rhinos make me tear up everytime when I her about their conservation status. But something about possibly being among the last living generations of humans to witness rhinoceroses (at least in the wild) specificaly makes me incredibly sad. And all because for once there are now crafty forgers out there making fake rhino horns from idk horse hair or something like that. (I say this, because it's hard to get rid of superstious believes, so we should definitly start with the poachers, not the buyers here).
Priverate collections are better protecting species better the government
People vote, animals don't. Look at the the returning president, I'm sure a lot of environmental and pollution controls are going to be cut in the name of "getting rid of stifling regulations".
Please learn to write
Uhh…
First?
I love your videos, man. Keep up the good work.
I loved this video
4:32 just wanted to say ur pronunciation was amazing !! - a native spanish speaker
Spanish is the only other language I would consider myself fluent in, so thanks!
25:00 I've seen a small herd in 2018 near Chernobyl. It was honestly a special and surreal thing to see
I had the pleasure of seeing a California condor sorta just.. _vibing_ here in Arizona. If I'd known what, exactly, it was; and how _rare_ it was to be in my position; I would've gotten a picture or two.
31:48 Could an idea for a future topic be about parasite conservation (since saving the California Condor resulted in the extinction of the parasite that depends on it)?
Its great these species are still around and they are not fully extinct 👍
Funfact: we also still have some Trees from Easter Island.
So technically it could be reforested. But since the entire Echosystem is gone, it could also be a good Option to leave the Island as it is, as a Monument for Humanities Distespect for Nature (or do both and only reforest a specific Part of the Island)
Good video
i'd love to see you do a video about red wolves, a critically endangered species that went extinct in the wild. i feel like they really could use some focus now, with the election promising bad things to come, as the last time we had this person in power, their wild population, which had been slowly increasing, dropped from around 100 individuals to less than 20 in the wild. i'm afraid with how things went last time, we could see a second extinction in the wild for them
Add Pseudomugil ivantsoffi bleheri from “Deky Creek” and Oryzias eversii from Sulawesi. Beautiful little blue eyes
przewalskis horse is also kept in a czech zoo from what i know
There was a guy on UA-cam finding a thought extinct fish in a golf pound.
Some of these presumed extinct species show up in the most unexpected areas or times. A lost spider was rediscovered in a small Portuguese town.
The fact that I know both species you’re talking about lol
@@WeevilWoodpeckerCan you tell me what species is that? I'm interested about it
Subbed. Protect our animals man, even endangered roaches. (Which i hate lol)
I didn't realize this was a series, since the Algorithm didn't show me the others. You may have covered it elsewhere, but one of the most famous EW plants in the USA is Franklinia altamaha, which resembles a deciduous Gordonia. We don't really know why it had almost vanished when Bartram found it. We do know it is a beautiful tree, though not the easiest to grow, and thus has been preserved in landscaping.
They sometimes livestream the release of the juvenile condors on their website :)
Really makes you wonder how many of these super small niche populations of animal disappeared because we did something like we just happened to dried out the one random pond they lived.
They expected saying place is infested with roache would make people want to save the place
I've seen some Angel trumpets in Indonesia, Bali mostly.
Hey AAN! So I was in a zoo then I found a snake and I found NE label on it (Nearly Evacuated). Can you make video about it??
Every effort must be made to breed these species,in captivity ,and the release in remote suitable habitats ,with supervision.!
Super 💯
Hey bro, I'm waiting for a discussion on creatures like humans, for example the ebu gogo
Amazing those wild horses made a comeback!
you should check out the case for the toromiro in rapa nui aka easter island
30:54 in sweden. You aren’t allowed to hunt birds with lead bullets. Thanks to that, all birds of prey have had major recoveries for the last few decades.
Time to start collecting them all for a park on an island 🦖
It’s cool that the pet trade had saved some of these species.
Saw a video of someone who had like 20 California condors that seem to hang out at their house that’s so cool a rare hope they realize the privilege they have
Żubr mentioned
Babe wake up!!
AAN just dropped.🎉
I've heard angels trumpet is very poisonous, didn't know it had medicinal uses
Medicine is typically poison in a much lower dose, applied to counteract the negative aspects of a correctly diagnosed problem. It certainly is NOT food.
Hello Mr. Wildlife(its now your nickname for me)
When i finish a book im making called "The Zoo Workshop" i will upload it the same day you reach 100k, even tho i discovered your channel VERY recently in november 2024, it only took a single comment to make this comment
I hope u reach 100k
- Your fan
Mr. Hayat
Note: It's illegal to use leaded ammo in just about every state in the US when migratory bird hunting, not just w/in the homerange of the condors
Absolutely love the breeding program that the Smithsonian conservation institute has done for the BLack footed ferret and the Przewalski's horse. Im taking up an intership at the center soon and cant be any moee excited to work near these animals in genetics!
18:42 My hometown zoo in Cincinnati being one of them. Displayed in the Wings of the World exhibit (in their Australasian enclosure).
If you're a fishkeeper/aquarist, breeding Matano Shrimp is almost impossible in captivity, and it's impossible not to breed white cloud minnow in your tank 🤣
Yeah the napalm probably didn’t help either
The human thought process of seeing an incredibly rare wild animal and going "Hmm, pet" is so frustrating. It's so sad that a lot of these species are only preserved through the exotic pet trade
Fish trade cant be seen as exotic pet trade when u can find em in local Aquarium store
You could do this video on fish species alone. The fish club I’m in has a point system for breeding unique species of fish and the C.A.R.E.S. species are double points so we have a good handful of species that members are breeding and selling to each other.
Like for all my Guamanians 🇬🇺
Can you please, talk about Chinchillas! En Chile
those black soft shell turtles look so cool i hope they stay alive
