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.
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.
