3. Species

There are over 180 to 200 species of woodpeckers all over the world! They’re not as rare as you might think. Two particular species of woodpeckers, such as the ivory billed woodpecker and the imperial woodpecker, are said to be extinct for over 30 years now, but there have been reports that these two supposedly extinct species of woodpeckers are still in existence today, although they may be very hard to spot. Still, we can’t lose hope that they are still around today!
