Brown PelicansThe oil spill has taken a great toll on
Louisiana’s state bird, the Brown Pelican. Since Brown Pelicans dive into the water to get fish, not only are they in peril of eating contaminated fish, but they are also in danger of getting their feathers covered in oil. The Brown Pelicans were just taken off of the endangered species list November 2009 and now they are in danger of becoming endangered as the oil covers their home.

Sea TurtlesThere are 4 different species of sea turtles, all
of which have been endangered in the oil spill. As The Huffington’s post Dan Froomkin wrote, their has been "more than 200 controlled burns since the oil well blew up in late April. And no one knows how many turtles that could have been saved instead were cremated alive."

Dolphins
Many dolphins were found washed up dead on beaches. Scientists aren’t sure if the oil is what killed them, but they’re investigating them. There are 3,000 to 5,000 dolphins in and around the Mississippi waters and an estimated 75,000 in the Gulf of Mexico. All of these dolphins are in danger of the oil.

Sperm Whale
The first Sperm Whale was found dead 77 miles away from the well. Sperm whales have been on the endangered species list since 1970. The oil spill has not helped their numbers.

Crabs
Oil has been found in the Crab Larvae. Crabs are a main food source for many species. So, with all the crabs dying it’s not only affecting their species, but other species as well. When other species eat crabs that are affected they could be affected as well. This is more then just crabs dying.
