Not Just Cats
Animal videos are great, and so are animal gifs. But instead of just grabbing cat gifs to learn how to make Ajax calls on an API, I decided to use the list of endangered animals created by the World Wildlife Federation to raise awareness of which animals are considered to be most threatened.
What Does a Javan Rhino Even Look Like
Many of the animals listed on the endangered list are ones I had either never heard of, or knew what they looked like. Using gifs helped put a face to the names of these animals. Hopefully it will create more empathy for the animals on the list.
