Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The snail darter is a small fish that is native to the Tennessee River system. It was listed as an endangered species in 1975 due to the construction of the Tellico Dam, which would have flooded its habitat. The Supreme Court ruled in 1978 that the dam could not be completed because it would jeopardize the snail darter's existence. The snail darter is still listed as an endangered species today, but its population has rebounded since the dam was stopped.
