1. In which parts of China are corsac foxes found?

Answer: Northeastern China

The corsac foxes are medium-sized relatives of the Canidae family and usually live in the semi-deserts of Asia. Corsac foxes are omnivores, grayish-red in color and have unique traits which allow them to climb trees.
2. What is the IUCN conservation status of the Chinese crocodile lizard?

Answer: Vulnerable

The Chinese crocodile lizard looks very similar to a crocodile, but shouldn't be mistaken for one. Crocodile lizards live mainly in shallow waters and are well adapted to their territory.
3. What is the Chinese mountain cat also called?

Answer: Chinese desert cat

The Chinese desert cat is a smaller species of the feline family which inhabits Western China. The Chinese desert cat has well developed feet, allowing them to walk on the hot desert sand. Like most cats, they hunt at night.
4. Are Southern China tigers an extinct species in the wild?

Answer: No

Native to southern China, it is estimated that there are now less than "one hundred Chinese tigers living in the wild." They are the most critically endangered species of tiger. Like most animals, habitat loss and poaching are the main contributing factors.

Raccoon dogs look very similar to raccoons. The raccoon dogs are omnivores and usually hunt at night. Like some members of the Canidae, they are known to spread rabies.
