11.Bearded vultures:

Bearded vultures live in the mountainous regions of southern Europe and in parts of north eastern Africa. They are the only living members of the genusGypaetus and are highly evolved carrion eaters, able to dissolve and digest entire bones in their guts. Habitat destruction and poisonings resulting from eating contaminated carcasses has pushed their numbers to “near threatened.”

12. The Markhor:

Native to Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, the markhor is a distinctive species of goat whose horns can grow up to 1.5 meters in length. Habitat loss and hunting has left current estimates of their population hovering somewhere around just 2,500 individuals.

13. The Chinese Giant Salamander: 

The Chinese giant salamander is the largest amphibian in the world – growing as long as five feet in length – but that hasn’t made it any less vulnerable to pollution and habitat loss. It’s also considered a delicacy in China where they are now nearly extinct.

14. The Purple frog of India:

The purple frog of India is extremely rare, with only 135 of them having ever been observed. That’s probably because they spend most of their lives underground, only emerging during monsoon season to mate. Their small population is at risk from habitat loss as plantations expand throughout the region.

15. The Quokka:

Found only in Australia, the quokka is the only member of the familySetonix. A small herbivore, the quokka requires extensive forestry for cover and protection from predators, making it very vulnerable to deforestation. They also have no fear of humans, which leads to a lot of unfortunate mishaps. They are currently classified as “vulnerable.”
