Also known as Grauer's gorilla, this is the largest of the four gorilla subspecies. But don't fear its size; these guys stick with fruit and plants in their diet. But survival in the unstable Democratic Republic of Congo has proved challenging, and these gorillas have suffered from pouching in the region as well as destruction of their eastern lowland habitat. Scientists estimate their population has halved since the mid-1990s.

A thinner and smaller relative of the gray wolf, this creature is more reddish-gray, as its name would suggest. Inhabiting the Midwest and once found as far west as Texas and south as Florida, its territory has been reduced by an estimated 99.7 percent.

Other writers, such as James Montgomery, saw virtuous industry on a reef, where millions of animals and plants work tirelessly together to create a harmonious whole - a fitting model for human civilisation. He captured this notion in his poem Pelican Island in 1828.

"With simplest skill, and toil unweariable, / No moment and no movement unimproved, / Laid line on line, on terrace terrace spread, / To swell the heightening, brightening gradual mound, / By marvellous structure climbing tow'rds the day."

The shimmering beauty of a tropical coral reef submerged in a sapphire sea is often equated with paradise. But there's a darker side to the idyll, writes Mary Colwell.

Coral reefs "are beautiful places", says Ken Johnson, a researcher specialising in coral at the Natural History Museum in London. They have "complex, three dimensional structures like cliffs and turrets" with a huge diversity of life. "We see schools of fish and many types of corals, and overall the sense is of colour and movement."

Reefs often surround coral islands where white sands are lapped by gentle waves - R M Ballantyne captured this idyll in his 19th Century novel The Coral Island, a tale about 3 boys who are sailing through the Pacific Ocean.

Given their unpredictable behaviors and impeccable hunting skills, leopards are generally considered to be more dangerous to humans than lions. In fact, according to the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, in some parts of India, leopards are responsible for more human deaths than every other large carnivore combined.
