The Ivory-billed Woodpecker lives-or lived-in the South-eastern part of the united states as well as Cuba.
It was considered extinct until 2004 when there were reports of the Woodpecker in Arkansas and Florida.
But now there are no more reports and no one is sure if they are extinct or not. If they are not extinct there is only and tiny population. Even less than the Amur leopard (approx. 35 left. :(. )

The reason the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker is extinct is due to logging and because humans wanted the feathers of the beautiful bird.
