CBS NEWS - SURVIVAL OF THE SMALLEST IN THE SEA

EXCERPT:
Almost none of the genera that have species averaging 0.4 inches long are threatened with extinction, But 23 percent of those that are 3.9 inches are threatened, 40 percent of those that are 39 inches are endangered and 86 percent of those that are 32.8 feet are vulnerable, Payne said.
These are species that are not extinct yet, but are on the respected Red List of threatened and endangered species created by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
