Más de uno de cada cinco mamíferos conocidos, más de la cuarta parte de los reptiles y 70% de las plantas están amenazados, revela el estudio, que agrega 2 mil 800 nuevas especies al informe del 2008.

They weighed an average of 33lbs at birth and, at 12 weeks old, this is the first opportunity for the public to see them.
