Assignment: To show American readers that extinction is not just a far-away threat for animals in other parts of the world. Many endangered species live right here in the Unites States, in our oceans and in our backyards. This article focuses on some of the most endangered American animals, ranging from whales to wolves to bees to salamanders. For many species, climate change, loss of habitat, pollution, the illegal pet trade, and disease are among their biggest challenges.
