Endangered species
Endangered species
Endangered species. While protection for endangered wolves is still in question, a rare aquatic insect was denied endangered species protection this month. Its declining population is said to be related to fast-disappearing glaciers at a national park. On this Earth Day, we take a look at some animal species that have long been on the critical list.Pacific walrus

They are not capable of flight like birds, but the nocturnal Northern flying squirrel glides effortlessly between trees. Find out how far they can go.
Tiger
A powerful predator, the tiger's six remaining species are facing extinction, and all are under protection. Yet an illegal act still threatens their existence.
Polar bear

Magellanic penguin
These adorable penguins can be found on a continent with a typically warm climate but are considered threatened due to their proximity to oil spills.
Bluefin tuna
These massive fish have become extinct in this sea as well as in the largest enclosed body of water on Earth.
Giant panda
