The Santa Catalina Island Fox is the smallest fox species found in the United States. With their small body features, they are an easy prey for predators. This has caused them to reach near the brink of extinction.

The Guadalupe Fur Seal was a species that was hunted especially for their fur. Their fur would be used in trades for warmth and clothing. This caused the Guadalupe Fur Seal population to dramatically decrease.

Since 1990, the California jewelflower was listed as endangered. The California jewelflower's texture consists of maroon buds which contrast with the bright white flowers growing beneath them.
