Blog #4 Endangered Species
The endangered species that I choose to write about is the San Francisco garter snake. I chose it because I thought it looked super cool and interesting. The San Francisco garter snake is full of different colors and designs. The San Francisco garter snake is known as the most beautiful snake in the United States of America. The San Francisco garter snake is fully protected by both the state and federal governments. It is good that they are protected by both governments because there are only one thousand to two thousand San Francisco garter snakes left in California. There are multiple reasons why the San Francisco garter snake is endangered. The reasons why they are endangered is because “Loss of habitat from agricultural, commercial and urban development and illegal collection (because of their beauty)”(https://www.fws.gov/sacramento/es_species/Accounts/Amphibians-Reptiles/sf_garter_snake/). Those are awful reasons why the San Francisco garter snakes are endangered. They need to stop building in the San Francisco area because it is hurting the snake. The most awful reason why they are becoming endangered is because people are catching and selling them. They deserve to live in the wild which is best for them because they will thrive. The San Francisco garter snake is important to the ecosystem because it eats all the little things to keep the ecosystem going. We as a society need to come together to help endanged species because they deserve to thrive just like we are. We need to help the San Francisco garter snake.
