Ancient Civilizations Research - Mrs. Jessie's Version

A work in progress.. just like yours should be! Remember - you will need a lot of information to ensure you are able to fully explain yourself. It is better to be over-informed than to have to keep researching after your research due date!

There are so many animals that are at risk of being extinct - which means they will no longer be living on Earth! These are what we call "endangered animals" because they are close to no longer being able to survive.
Here is a list of animals for your "Species at Risk" science page that you can research:
