(*) Separate populations of a species listed both as Endangered and
Threatened are tallied once, for the endangered population only. Those
species are the argali, chimpanzee, leopard, Stellar sea lion, gray
wolf, piping plover, roseate tern, green sea turtle, saltwater
crocodile, and olive ridley sea turtle. For the purposes of the
Endangered Species Act, the term "species" can mean a species,
subspecies, or distinct vertebrate population. Several entries also
represent entire genera or even families.

(**) There are 530 approved recovery plans. Some recovery plans cover
more than one species, and a few species have separate plans
covering different parts of their ranges. Recovery plans are drawn up
only for listed species that occur in the United States.

(***) Nine animal species have dual status in the U.S.
