Woodpecker
I watched the woodpecker,
tapping at the tree,
in back of our house.
Its red head,
standing out,
like a rose.
Woodpecker,
woodpecker,
Oh beautiful woodpecker.

The tiger is a greatly endangered animal. Tigers often avoid elephants and
wild dogs. Poachers kill tigers and sell their body parts for money. Tigers
sharpen their claws on tree trunks. They leave big gashes in the bark. Tigers are very dangerous animals.

The rhino is greatly endangered. The average weight of an Indian rhino is
4,000 pounds. Poachers kill rhinos and sell their body parts as medicine and good luck charms. Rhinos are not usually dangerous, but because they
don't see very well, they will sometimes charge. A loud noise will usually stop them.

If you want to know about animal homes, then this is the place to look. Animals lose their homes in different ways. One way animals lose grassland homes is by overgrazing. When this happens, the land often turns into desert. Another way is by tearing down woods, forests and rain forests. Some people are trying to protect habitat. This is something you can do too. Environmentalists are trying to think of ways to protect habitat. Throwing trash on the ground can make plants and animals sick. Throw your trash in the garbage can. Also, remember to recycle when you can. When you see an animal in front of your car, stop so that you do not kill it. Tearing down habitat can make animals endangered or even extinct. There are less than one thousand giant pandas still alive today.
This site is about endangered species. Endangered animals are animals that could become extinct. If people act fast, some of these animals could recover. Some may not be able to recover, but they still have a chance.
Many people care about these animals, and are working to help them. Some ways that people are helping is to build
sanctuaries, breed these animals, and to adopt them.
Hi, Mom!
