Wildlife Research

Cartoon beaverYou are a wildlife biologist studying endangered species in Ohio. If an animal is endangered that means there are very few of them left in the wild. Without help, they may become extinct. Wildlife becomes endangered mainly because of habitat loss. Print this page. In the picture, can you find 11 Ohio endangered species? Circle or color each animal when you find it. You may have to look close!
