Investigating Endangered and Threatened Species

An endangered species is one that is throughout all or a major part of its habitat. A threatened species is one that may become endangered. The Division of Endangered Species at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service keeps close tabs on the state of threatened and endangered wildlife in the United States and around the world. The table below was compiled from 2013 data in the Division of Endangered Species’ box score. The “Total Species” column gives the total number of endangered and threatened species for each group.

Use the data in the table to complete the Threatened Species column.
