The California Condor

• The California condor is on of the worlds
  largest birds. It once lived throughout the
  West. But when settlers moved in, there was
  little room left for the condor. It now survives
  only in zoos. These zoos want to save the
  condor. One day, they hope to return to the wild.

Why did the condors habitat disappear?

Mexican Grizzly Bear

  power, and courage. Because of this, many people
  want its fur as a trophy. Tracked down for

  are seen.

Pelicans

• When chemicals are dumped into a river, many
  fish die. The fish that live, carry the poison
  in their bodies. The pelican has become
  endangered because it eats fish that have been
  poisoned with chemicals.

list?

  pelicans.

Super choice!

• Pollution in the water causes the fish to be
  poisonous for the pelicans. When the pelicans
  eat the fish they get sick and die.

Write pollution on your worksheet for number
four. What can people do to help the pelicans?

Nope

• Habitat destruction is not the reason the
  pelicans are on the endangered list.
