There are many animals that live in Texas. There are a variety  of animals and species that are endangered in Texas. Endangered means when there are a small number of their kind and they are very famine to their kind and when they are extinct that means there are no more of their kind and they can do nothing about it. But when they are threatened or endangered  means that they are very close to extinct and so they have to be very well watched and supervised with their kind.                          



These animals are endangered are because there could be a poaching problem and for example the Leather Back Sea Turtle. The sea turtle could be getting captured and being killed for their shells and their leather skins. There are a total of 145 animals that are endangered in the state of Texas. The reason that they are being endangered is that they are being killed and captured or the food chain is just messed up and that is the result of that when they become extinct they will take them off the endangered list and there will be another important animal that takes its spot. Or I saw this one TV show where they cloned the toads genes and DNA and they will freeze it and try to mutate it  into the same animal.
