I'm not so sure bongo is lower risk.  I thought the bongo was endangered?

No offense, but Aardvark is Unconfirmed, Pygmy hippos is Vulnerable and Secretary bird is Common. The others are correct though.
Sorry.

No offense, but what I meant by Unconfirmed was that people don't know their status.

No offence, but what kind of question was that? That seems pretty rude to me, especially since he didn't have to tell us this stuff to begin with. He shouldn't have in the first place, especially with this predictable responce. And that fact that no-one knows for sure what the status of an animal is, plays a big role in this.
