This species has been in trouble for nearly 130 years. When the great riverine forests of the southern swamps were clearcut, the species began to vanish. Assumed extinct since 1944, one bird was videotaped in an Arkansas swamp in 2004. Since then, birds have been observed in other southern states, and even more video obtained from Louisiana's Pearl River Basin.
Scientists believe this species has a lifespan of up to fifteen years.
The lifespan of a woodpecker is between 4 to 11 years.
They haven't been seen since 2004 so they may be extinct. If they are still alive, There has to be fewer than 10 or 5 left!
No one knows for sure, but there is evidence of a few in Arkansas, Florida, Lousiana, and the Carolinas.
Tanner estimated the ivory bill could live to 15 years or so.

Their is 23 types including 16 "woodpeckers" 2 "Flickers" and 4 "sapsuckers" the last one is the ivory billed which is very very close to or just extinct.
You can find many pictures of extinct animals online, such as Tasmanian Tigers, Quaggas, and Ivory-Billed Woodpeckers.
Deforestation causing loss of habitat was the main reason for the near extinction of the Ivory Billed Woodpecker. Recently it has been proven that it is still with us, however, having been found in Arkansas, Florida, and perhaps Louisiana and the Carolina coastal swamps.
The imperial woodpecker of Mexico may be extinct, as it has not been seen for decades.

No one knows for sure I have searched many sight and you would never guess what I have found......nothing! And yuo would think people would just come out and say the answer but no, you have to read a whole website to only find out that you haven't actually found anything so the answer is..........no one know for sure.
No one knows for sure, but the population has to be tiny, probably less than 2 birds.
