01 Green Turtle (EN)
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
The green turtle can be found from the Hawaiian Islands to Guam, Madagascar, the Caribbean and points in between. They are known to migrate from beaches to deep water, facing predators including fishing boats and egg hunters along the way. A scuba dive to a reef or a visit (at a safe distance) to a beach during breeding season provide opportunities to see the creatures.

SHIRLEY BASIN, WYOMING
Thought to be extinct, a discovery in 1981 told a new story. Now listed as Endangered, cloning has helped bolster this ferret population, but only to about 300 or so. To see them in the wild, try visiting Shirley Basin, Wyoming. Also, the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C., has just welcomed ferret babies, which can be viewed on Black-Footed Ferret Cam.
