Some of the animals that are endangered as pets include certain species of turtles (such as the Radiated Tortoise and the Ploughshare Tortoise), primates (like the Slow Loris and the Pygmy Marmoset), big cats (such as the Tiger and the Cheetah), and certain bird species (like the Hyacinth Macaw and the Yellow-headed Amazon Parrot). These animals are often sought after as exotic pets, leading to their decline in the wild due to illegal trafficking and unsustainable harvesting.
