* ''Literature/TheOneAndOnlyIvan'' is about a gorilla, Ivan. When he was small, the adults of his family were killed by EvilPoachers and he and his twin sister were packed into a crate and shipped overseas. Along the way, his sister died. Purchased by a human and RaisedInCaptivity as a publicity stunt, Ivan thought he might be the LastOfHisKind until catching a glimpse of another gorilla in a TV commercial. Even without fully understanding the situation, he can grasp that there aren't many gorillas, especially compared to the teeming masses of humans.

* ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear'': In ''The Swarm'', the birdlike shreeves are a protected species. The shreeves eat [[ExplosiveBreeder drog beetles]], keeping their population in check so they don't form a HordeOfAlienLocusts. But shreeves are also very fragile, breed slowly, and are not particularly bright. Legends say that killing just one will upset the delicate ecological balance of Sk'rr and give the beetles an edge. [[spoiler:Zak kills one. On the plus side the legend is exaggerated. On the negative side, someone else has been killing thousands.]]
