A taxon is Vulnerable when available scientific evidence indicates that it meets any of the criteria A to E in Box 3.2, and it is therefore considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. Most threatened species are listed as Vulnerable; examples include the lion, cheetah, hippopotamus, sperm whale, snail darter, and most bear species (Asiatic black, polar, sun, sloth, and spectacled).
