Illinois endangered species

It's not surprising that Illinois has some animals on the endangered species list, but what is a surprise (at least to me) is how many of those Illinois animals I have never even heard of. Take a look and see how many you know.

There are far more endangered and threatened animal species in Illinois than I have space to write about, but here are a few you may have heard of, and maybe a couple of animals you didn't even know were living in Illinois.
