In birds, there are Crested Shelducks, the Marquesan Kingfishers, the Mauritius Kestrels and the whooping cranes. In fish, there are Siberian and Alabama sturgeons and the silver sharks. All these and many more, are listed as endangered animals. In plants, we have the dragon tree, the Monkey puzzle, the clay's hibiscus, the star cactus and many other names we may have never even heard of, that are enlisted as endangered plant species. If we don't conserve these species now, we won't have them tomorrow. For more on some endangered plant and animal species, read on.
