ANIMAL SPECIES
A rare species is a group of organisms that are very uncommon, scarce,or infrequently encountered .
This designation may be applied to either plant or animal taxon,and may be distinct from the term endangered or threatened species .
A species may be endangered or vulnerable, but not considered rare if-for example-it has large,dispersd population,butits numbers are declining rapidly or predicted to do so.
Rare species are generally considered threatened because of very small population size is more likely to not reconvert from stochastic events(things that could happen).
