Solution

Endangered species are those biological species which are at a high risk of getting extinct or which are on the border of extinction.
Endangered species are different from Vulnerable species in the sense that vulnerable species are those which exist in low numbers and are about to extinct due to the exploitation of their habitats either by natural activities or by the activities of human beings and other animals.
