This one comes from PlanetSave. They got together top conservationists and scientists and came up with the top ten animals in most need of protection from extinction. Many of these, I didn’t even know were in trouble.

1.) Pacific Walrus – Alaska
2.) Red Knot bird – Texas
3.) Wolverine – Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Washington
4.) Gunnison Sage-grouse (bird) – Colorado, Utah
5.) Fluvial Arctic Grayling (fish) – Montana
6.) Island Marble Butterfly – Washington
7.) Southern Rockies Boreal Toad – Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho
8.) Mason’s Skypilot (plant) – California and Nevada
9.) Great White Shark – Coastal States
10.) Wood Turtle – Great Lakes and Northeastern States, Virginia and West Virginia
