the rarest animal is going to be the puma
the rarest animal on earth currently is the Pinta Island tortoise in the Galapagos islands. “Lonesome George” is the only surviving member of the species, and there is a $10,000 reward for the person that finds a surviving female.

I think one of the rarest yet most robust animals on Earth may be the Loch Ness “monster”, which, if it exists and is not a hoax created by a model submarine, may be represented by as little as one family.
Platypuses are the only mammal that lay eggs so I’ll say platypuses are the rarest animal on earth
(: Just like Phineas and Ferb on Disney Channel Perry the platypus(Agent P) vs. Dr. Doofenshmirtz winner and champion and always will be Agent P(Perry the Platypus).
actually platypus’s are not the only mammals that lay eggs as a matter of fact because they belong to a group of mammals called monotremes and all monotremes lay eggs
They don’t do much you know.
“Swinhoe’s soft-shell turtle” was thought to be extinct in nature. Cleveland Metroparks Zoo has just announced the discovery of a critically endangered turtle in northern Vietnam that previously was thought to be extinct in the wild. Experts from the Zoo’s Asian Turtle Program confirmed that they have identified the only known living specimen of a Swinhoe’s soft-shell turtle (Rafetus swinhoei) in nature.
I don’t get it. I heard that a puma once attacked a person. If you think logically, you would probably think that if a puma attacked a person, then they probably have a larger population than thought, Keshav. So please shut up.
