There's this weed that had poisonous spiky hairs on the thick stem, and if manhandled, spreads it's seeds really fast and the hairs can cause tumors in the hands. Also really hard to pull up and the root can grow more plants. And it's in the U.S.! Wyoming!

The natural range of Ovis canadensis was formerly in the Rocky Mountains from southern Canada to Colorado, but is now reduced to areas where small bands are protected by inaccessible habitat or by refuges. The desert subspecies (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) ranges from Nevada and California to west Texas and south into Mexico. Another rare group inhabits the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.\n\n     The Canadian population of this stocky muscular animal is restricted now to western Alberta and southern British Columbia.  Adult males range in weight from 75 to 137 kg. The ewes, lambs, yearlings and young rams band together in groups led by an old ewe. They are joined in the autumn by the mature rams in time for the mating season. \n     During the rutting season, the adult males engage in fierce jousting matches and crash head-on into each other with an impact that can be heard two kilometres away. Their chief predator is the cougar, but unattended kids are often taken by the golden eagle. Their heads, with their magnificent horns, are prized by hunters.\n\nFor more info:\n\nhttp://www.desertusa.com/big.html

Try posting this under home and garden. Isn't a portulaca a type of flower??? Don't quote me, I could be wrong!\n\nEdit - after receiving your email...\n\nSeriously, I don't know the answer! I was just trying to give you a better pointer to where you might find someone who does know! As I mentioned, don't quote me. I know some flowers are named potulacas, but that doesn't mean a portulaca aleracea is a flower! I was only trying to help! Sorry!

There are lots.  I can't name any specific ones right now.\nOne group in general that is facing decline are frogs.  Many of the worlds frogs are going extinct, as frogs are very sensitive to changes in their environment.\n\nhttp://www.globalamphibians.org/

from Captain Jack of the Modoc Indians ...http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/indianchiefs/captain_jack.htm  .....\nIn some parts there are a few small trees but no large timber, and to our way of thinking it is a desolate country indeed, but the Modocs liked it, especially the clear lake, Lost River, and bushy parts where quail, partridge, and wild turkey were found, for these Indians did not like to raise corn as white men do. They dug up wild onions, lily bulbs, and camas plants to eat, and found plenty of wild duck in the clear lake and Tule pond

There is a really knowledgeable mycologist at the U of Alberta by the name of Randy Currah.  He is quite well known, but I don't know if he's THE keading mycologist.  By the way, the fungi is redundant.  Mycologists study fungi.  Check out the link below!  Good luck

With many declining populations, there are no hard numbers available.  Because the organisms are very rare, it is often difficult to tell exactly how many are left in the wild without doing extensive surveys, and there simply isn't funding to track the populations of all endangered species that closely.\n\nWith other species, there are conservation programs in place, and populations are monitored as closely as possible.\n\nA good place to start to find information on specific endangered species is the IUCN (World Conservation Union) Red List of Threatened Species.  Their web-site can be found at http://www.redlist.org/info/introduction

There are certain fish, when introduced to a specific location will kill all the natural fish in the that area.  There is also a noxious ivy weed, I belive it is called Kudso, that will take over everything it comes into contact with, it grows extremely fast.  It has been known to take over entire fields, buildings, and towns.  It is almost impossible to eradicate.  I will modify my answer if I can think of the name of fish I am thinking about.  Something else, many years ago Hawaii was overrun with rats (or was it snakes?) so they decideed to bring in mongoose's (or is it mongeese? LOL), the mongoose ate all the rats (snakes?) and now they are no more.  It is illegal to bring a snake to Hawaii, so it was probably snakes.

While the koala is not considered an endangered species, it is considered "threatened". Here is another website that will answer your question regarding current issues.\n\nhttp://home.vicnet.net.au/%7Ekoalas/factsprobs.html

Destruction of natural habitat of Caribou and other wildlife. Many Gwich'in people (one of the native people of Alaska) are dependent on the Porcupine Caribou Herd which calves on the coastal plain in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Gwich'in people have been very active in protesting and lobbying against the possibility of oil drilling in the ANWR.

google search string [ "soap plant" "Native American" ]\n-------------------------------\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nThe Wavy-leafed Soap Plant, Chlorogalum pomeridianum, is the commonest and most widely distributed of the Soap Plants, Soaproots or Amoles, which make up the genus Chlorogalum of flowering plants. It is found in most of California, apart from the Sierra Nevadas and the deserts, and also in south-western Oregon. It is occasionally known as the "wild potato", but given the plant's lack of either resemblance or relationship to the potato, this name is not recommended.\n\nLike all the Soap Plants, the Wavy-leafed Soap Plant is a perennial that grows from a bulb, which is brown, between 7 and 15 cm in diameter, slightly elongated, and covered in thick, coarse fibres. The leaves grow from the base of the plant, and can be from 20 to 70 cm long and 6 to 25 mm wide. As the plant's name indicates, their edges are generally wavy, though this is not always particularly noticeable. The flowers are borne on a long stem, normally longer than the leaves, and are from 15 to 30mm long. The six petals (actually only three of them are petals in the technical sense; the other three are sepals) are up to 35mm long and curving. They are generally white but have a noticeable mid-vein which can be purple or green in colour. The six stamens are large and noticeable, and yellow or orange. The flowers are hermaphrodite. They open only in the late afternoon or evening, remaining open during the night but closing by the morning. Pollination is by evening- or night-flying insects.\n\nThe Wavy-leafed Soap Plant grows on rock bluffs, grasslands, chaparral, and in the more open woodlands.\n\nThree varieties are recognised:\n\n    * Chlorogalum pomeridianum var. divaricatum, endemic to some coastal regions of California (the Central Coast and southern parts of the North Coast), and only found at elevations below about 100 metres.\n    * C. p. var. minus, found in the inner north and outer south Pacific Coast Ranges of California, and the San Francisco Bay Area. This variety has a less fibrous bulb than the others.\n    * C. p. var. pomeridianum, found throughout the range of the species.\n\nThe juices of the bulb contain saponins that form a lather when mixed with water, and both Native American people and early European settlers used the bulbs as a kind of soap; this is the origin of the plant's name. It was particularly used for washing hair, since it was held to be effective against dandruff. Extracts of the bulbs could also be used as a sealant or glue.\n\nThe young leaves can be used as food, but the saponins in the bulbs make these poisonous. However saponins are very poorly absorbed by the body and usually pass straight through, and in any case they can be destroyed by thorough cooking. The Miwok people roasted and ate the bulbs as a winter food. Saponins are much more toxic to some other animals than they are to humans. Fish are particularly susceptible, and the bulb juices were used to kill or stun them so they could be caught easily.\n\nThe bulbs also had various medicinal uses, both external (e.g. for making a poultice to be used as an antiseptic, or as a rub in cases of rheumatism) and internal (decoctions were used for a range of purposes, including as a diuretic, as a laxative and against stomach ache). The fibres surrounding the bulb were widely used, bound together, to make small brushes.\n\nThe basionym of the species was Scilla pomeridianum. It has also been known as Loathoe pomeridiana.\n-----------------------------\nYucca glauca, are called soap plant because their roots are especially good for making soap.\n\nNative American tribes in the southwestern United States and Northern Mexico found numerous uses for the yucca, dating back hundreds of years. Several tribes, including the Western Apaches on the Fort Apache Reservation in Arizona, use the plant today. The most co

Well, the American bison (Bison bison) is listed as being at Least Risk by the IUCN (the World Conservation Union).  While being virtually extirpated from the United States, there are large and thriving populations in Canada.  Enough so that my local grocery store regularily carries Bison steaks.  Mmmmm... yummy.\n\nThe European bison or wisent (Bison bonasus) is listed as Endangered.  The species was down to less than 20 captive individuals back in the 1920s.  There are programs currently underway to establish refuges for the wisent in Poland, Ukraine, Russia and Belorussia, and there are now as many as 250 animals in the wild.  However genetic diversity issues mean that they are in serious trouble.\n\nMost seals are listed as Least Risk or Vulnerable by the IUCN, however there are some that are Endangered or Critically Endangered.\n\nOne of the most Critically Endangered is the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus), which is threatened by habitat loss and degradation, invasive parasites and pathogens such as toxic algae, ongoing harvesting and hunting, accidental mortality and their own restricted range.  \n\nThe French government twice initiated captive breeding projects, but both times shut down the projects over protests from the international monk seal scientific and conservation communities.  \n\nMany countries have introduced laws protecting the Mediterranean monk seal, but implementation has been less than rigorous.  There are so many countries around the Mediterranean that would all need to agree on conservation measures that it may be too late for this species.\n\nThe related Hawaiian monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi) is also Endangered, and the Caribbean monk seal (Monachus tropicalis) is already considered Extinct.\n\nThe Japanese sea lion (Zalophus japonicus) is also considered Extinct, last seen in 1951.\n\nThe walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) is one of the species listed in the IUCN Redlist as being at Least Risk.  There are healthy populations in many northern nations.  Unless something totally unthinkable happens, like global temperatures rising and melting all the Arctic sea ice, then they will probably remain relatively safe.  But that could never happen, right?\n\nIn the grand scheme of things, the extinction of these species probably doesn't mean an awful lot to humans directly.  Most people have probably never heard of a wisent, and probably never knew there was such as thing as a Caribbean monk seal.  However, they are indicators of a disturbing trend of extinctions, and near extinctions, mostly caused by humans.\n\nThose species directly hunted to extinction by man are easy enough to explain, and do not speak well of our ability to work and play nice with others, but it is the species which are indirectly affected by mankind, through habitat loss, pollution, introduced diseases and other factors that should sound a resounding wake-up call to humanity in general.  If we are making the planet uninhabitable for other species, maybe it isn't gonna be so nice for us if we keep it up, eh?\n\nThere is also the possibility that species that we think will have no effect on us if they go extinct are actually vital links in the ecosystem, and will have major impacts when they are gone.  The classic example is the sea otter (Enhydra lutra).  A cute, fuzzy little sea mammal that eats sea urchins and abalones.  It also has thick fur that was very valuable to fur traders.  However, once the little fuzzy sea otters were gone, the sea urchins boomed in population and started eating all the kelp.  Those kelp forests were important habitat for many fish species, and suddenly the fishing industry started hurting.  The sea otter turned out to be very important for the economic needs of a great many fishermen.\n\nIt's easy to become blase about 'oh well, it's just some dumb critter I've never heard of, so why should I care if it goes extinct?  most of the species that have ever existed have gone ext

Yes. They are almost extinct. So, govt. officials made it illegal to kill them. \n\nhttp://www.riverotter.net/gallery/thumbnails/tnotter_trio.jpg\n\nWanna know more...\n\nDucks Unlimited\n1 Waterfowl Way\nMemphis, TN 38120\n(901) 758-3825\n\nCommited to the protection and preservation of North American Wetlands
