Mossy's World of Animals...my guide to endangered species and how to stop the extinctions.: Ivory-Billed Woodpecker Really Extinct?

I've seen a pileated woodpecker up close a few times at Congaree National Park. Once I was so close in my kayak, it was amazing! But I REALLY wanted to see or hear an Ivory-Billed Woodpecker. Many people are afraid they are extinct . My dad showed me this article in The State newspaper about the search for them in South Carolina.

I'm disappointed they didn't find any Ivory Billed Woodpeckers, but I still think they are out there! Listen to one at this site so you'll know if you hear it! What do you think?

What is Mossy's World of Animals?

Welcome people of the world! Bienvenue! ¡Recepción! Boa vinda! مرحبا! 歓迎 Willkommen! My name is Moss and I'm a sixth grader in South Carolina. This is my blog dedicated to educating people about animals...extinct animals, endangered animals, threatened animals, vulnerable animals, and animals right in your own backyard.

It's important so that people can be more careful, because it's up to us to take care of nature and habitats and all living creatures.

A few years ago I was amazed to learn about all the extinct animals I'd never get to see, and shocked to realize all the endangered animals people of the future may never get to see.

I want people to learn about animals, and do something to help. I'll try to provide interesting information, ideas on how you can help the environment, and other cool stuff about my favorite animals.
