     The article informs its reader on the animal on the endangered species list and the posibility of still adding more animals to the list. this year the Oregon spotted frog is considered by federal protection as endangered species. An animal that has been endangered since 1982 is the eastern massasauga rattlesnake. 
      A services held on Feb. 8 by two lawsuits promised to to decide by September if to add 97 species to the endangered list. Still the service has over 550 potentital candidates for the endangered species list. They have started to increase decisions being made more have been positive. This is having much impact on wildlife. The economy has very little money for enviromental frivolities. Skeptics wonder if some animals have been waiting for decades to be listed as endangered. 
       What i think on the topic of the article is that the rate of endandagered animals is growing. The rate continues to inrease each year. Also the process of the animals to have to be approved to be listed as endangered isnt so good. This is becasue as the Skeptics said soem animals could have been waiting for decades to be on the endangered list. Meanwhile during their wait the poplution could have decreased a lot. 
 Overall the number of endangered animals continues tio increase. If it continues at this rate then there will soon be many animals on the endangered list. Also if there are animals that have been waiting for a while ro be approved soemthing should be done to help these animals. Their species could be at high risk just like the other animals that are already on the endangered list.
