象牙

May 11th 2006 | CLARENDON, ARKANSASTHE ivory-billed woodpecker is not large, as birds go. It is about the size of a crow, but FLASH ier. Its claim to fame[1] is that, though it had been thought extinct since 1944, a lone kayaker spotted it about two years ago, flying around among the cypress trees in the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge.
