Mini-Project #3 Endangered Species

Instead of creating my own list from another list, I decided to post this list to show the immense amount of species in Florida that are threatened and endangered. When people think of endangered species the automatically think of Mammals, avians and reptiles. They tend to forget about the insects, fish and plant life that is also endangered.
