Question

Which one of the following species is not included under the 'Red List'?

• A. Extinct
• B. Endemic
• C. Endangered
• D. Vulnerable

Answer 1

The correct option is B Endemic

Endemic species are those species of plants and animals which are found exclusively in a particular area. They are not naturally found anywhere else. Endemic species are not included under red list because the red list contains those species whose continued existence is threatened. Each Red Data Book usually deals with a specific group of animals or plants (e.g., reptiles, insects, mosses).
