    BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER

    Why They're at Risk: This bird of the northwest United States is seeking an official endangered status from the national government. The woodpecker is quickly losing its habitat due to forest fires, logging companies and deforestation.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, That is not a Tapier! It is a Siau Island Tausier! A Tapir is a hooved animal with a pig like snout! Please get it right!
