1. Ivory-Billed Woodpecker: The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker is one of the largest woodpeckers in the world, at roughly 20 inches in length and 30 inches in wingspan. It was native to the virgin forests of the southeastern United States. Due to habitat destruction, and to a lesser extent hunting, its numbers have dwindled to the point where it is uncertain whether any remain, though there have been reports it has been seen again. Almost no forests today can maintain an Ivory-Billed Woodpecker population.

5. Northern Right Whale: Northern Right Whales are three species of large
baleen whales of the genus Eubalaena: the North Atlantic right whale, the North Pacific right whale and the southern right whale. They are classified in the family Balaenidae with the bow head whale. Right whales have rotund bodies with arching rostrums, V - shaped blowholes and dark grey or black skin. The most distinguishing feature of a right whale is the rough patches of skin on its head which appear white due to parasitism by
whale lice. Right whales can grow up to 18 m (59 ft) long and weigh up to 100 short tons (91 t; 89 long tons), significantly larger than humpbacks or grays, but smaller than blues.
