rare animals
Scarce creature populations
Rare animals are species with small or declining populations, whether due to habitat loss, hunting, or natural scarcity.
The phrase appears in conservation contexts, wildlife documentaries, and zoo promotions: The sanctuary protects rare animals from poaching.
Rare can mean either uncommon in the wild or seldom encountered by humans—a snow leopard is rare in both senses.
