This document discusses three animals in Peru that are endangered: the tapir, Andean bear, and Andean condor. The tapir lives in forests near Piura and Cajamarca and is threatened by deforestation, hunting, and fires. The Andean bear ranges along the Andes from Venezuela to Bolivia and feeds on plants, but is threatened by land use changes and hunting. The Andean condor lives in the Andes from Catamarca to Tierra del Fuego and is primarily threatened by toxic baits used to control predators.

CURSE: ENGLISH TAPIR ANDINO The tapir is small and lives near the forests of Piura and Cajamarca. It is a species of perissodactyl mammal of the tapyrid family. It tends to be solitary and can be active both during the day and at night. The causes of their danger of extinction are deforestation and habitat fragmentation, uncontrolled hunting, forest fires, drought OSO ANDINO The Andean bear is a species of mammal in the Ursidae family Andean bears live along the Andes mountain range, from Venezuela to southern Bolivia, and are both terrestrial and arboreal.
This bear is constantly threatened due to changes in land
use and hunting.
They feed on achupallas, fruits, roots, bark and leaves.
They also feed on mushrooms, cacti, insects, animals and carrion.
The Andean bear has the characteristic of having white
spots around the eyes. CONDOR ANDINO The Andean condor is a species of bird in the Cathartidae family. It is a large black bird with a collar of white feathers surrounding the base of the neck and, especially in the male, large white spots on the wings. The habitat of the condor is located along the Andes Mountains, in provinces such as Catamarca, Jujuy, Tucumán, Salta, Tierra del Fuego and in the central area of the country. The main threat that affects the Andean condor is the consumption of toxic baits, an illegal practice used to control predatory species.
