Rare,
Threatened & Endangered Animals
The list of Maryland's known
wildlife species is dynamic. New species, usually invertebrates or
plants, are frequently discovered within our borders. Sometimes
these species are new to science and have never been found anywhere
else. More likely, the species is already known to live in nearby
states but was never discovered in Maryland before. Newly discovered
species are often so rare that they are immediate candidates for
consideration as a tracked element of endangered animals. |
