i dont know what a swmap pink is

good thing i was born and raised there , because i have no idea

Answer 2

there is no habitat left in jersey

Answer 3

Seen a puma in NJ lately? That's why. There isn't much habitat for them nowadays. And isn't the swamp pink a lily? A plant? There aren't as many wetlands in NJ today as there used to be. I hadn't realized that the swamp pink was changed from threatened to endangered.

Answer 4

To begin with - I've never heard of either of them, so there's one good reason they're on the list!

Answer 5

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service listed the Eastern Puma as endangered in 1973.  Little has improved for their lot since then.

While they have hung on in stretches of Florida (mostly around the Everglades their is some wonder is this is a subspecies of what was / is the "Eastern Puma".

There have been sightings of "large" cats throughout the Great Smokey Mountains National Park and many think this might be the elusive puma.

The first two links below have some great information on these stunning cats.

The last two links cover the Swamp Pink (Helonias bullatta).  It  was listed in 1988 as endangered.  The cause for this is sadly varied, making it harder to help restore the species.  The reasons vary from loss of habitat, to invasive species crowding them out, to climate change.

Answer 6

Maybe it is the pink panther or the puma is g*y
