A new report has stated that 17% of America's threatened and endangered species are at risk from rising sea levels. This is a shocking amount of species put in danger because of humanity and our hunger for power, so I thought i'd have a little look at the 5 species currently at most risk from sea levels in America.

Poor little things! But is it too late to save them?
Poor little babies. I hope they're doing something to try to save them! Maybe an attempt at relocation?
