Pelican Removed from Endangered List

Summary: The Pelican went on the Endangered List in 1970 by Interior Department officials. The reason they were at risk was because the fish they ate were tainted with pesticides, causing their eggs to have really thin shells and break. The brown pelican fled and was able to reproduce safely which brought them out of risk.
Response: This article is not important. The pelican isn't that big of deal and they don't give enough information in the article. It is good they are informing people about the tainted fish issue, and the fact that the animal is not at risk anymore.
