Be sure to include all of the information that you used to answer these questions.  You should have at least 10 facts.  Write the name of the species at the top of the page and then make a NUMBERED list of facts with each fact starting on a new line.

D.     Think of a slogan, or catchy phrase, that describes the species uniqueness.  Your slogan should include the name of your animal, make it clear that this animal is an endangered species, and explain why it is important to help this type of animal.  Using construction paper and markers, create an advertisement, like one you might find in a magazine, to share with the class.  Include your slogan in your advertisement.
