Solution
Yes, human beings can also be a threat to animals. Human beings kill animals to hide and other body parts. For example; elephants are killed for their tusks, rhinos are killed for their horns. Snakes and crocodiles are also killed for their skin. An increase in human population has led to the destruction of forests. This has reduced the natural habitat of animals.
