The Utah State University Extension Office has produced a document about Endangered and Threatened Animals of Utah. This page provides a description of each species. There is a great description about the habitat in which each lives. Information about why the species dropped in numbers along with the recovery efforts for the species are included. There is a map of where the endangered species probably lived in Utah.
