I wonder...
By: Simona Brezeanu
My ''I wonder...'' question is:
Why do I wonder this?
I also wonder this because once I asked someone the question ''What is the most endangered animal in the world?'', and they answered to me that is was the panda. So did more people say when I asked. Other people told me that is was the tiger, bees, elephants or even the orangutan.
Actually, it is a type of bird that not many people know of. So I might want to be an "ornithologist*" in the future.
("*Ornithologist: someone who study's birds")
A quick question!!
Which animal species do you think is the most endangered animal species in the world?
I will ask three people to guess. If you already know the answer, please do not raise your hand.
Thank you!!
Which animal is the most endangered animal species in the world?
What are the characteristics of the Ivory-billed woodpecker?
Where does it live now?
In my opinion, I think that the Ivory-billed woodpecker's population shrank during the time of the Civil War is because during a war, they fire guns, and the birds have to fly. So maybe when the Ivory-billed woodpeckers were flying, they got shot. So not many of them survived the trip.
What does the Ivory-billed woodpecker eat and how?

Ivory-billed woodpecker: Female
