* Mid-to-late 2007.
I’m pretty sure the Grey Wolf was taken off the endangered species list about a month ago in the rockies. It would be a good idea to make the list more regional specific next time around.

2x Kristy McNichol options on the Van Halen question, FYI.

100% on the prescription drug questions, with no medical background whatsoever. I think there are a few too many drug commercials on TV nowadays!

93% (13 out of 14) on the endangered species list. Not bad if I say so myself. :) Only missed the caribou. Actually the quiz managed to squeek in the gray wolf just in time. The announcement was made to delist the wolf on Feb. 27 but this does not go into effect until 30 days after the announcement.

Yeah, i think the wolf was a trick question. And why weren’t the prairie dogs on there - or are they just the poster-rodents for endangered?
