Blue-Ringed Octopus
Blue ringed octopus
Deadly things come in small packages. Take the blue-ringed octopus, for instance: Though the sea creature is smaller than your average candy bar, it holds venom 1,000 times stronger than cyanide, and it has enough of it to kill 26 humans in just minutes.

Slow Loris
Slow loris toxic bite
It's hard to resist the gentle eyes and cuddly demeanor of a slow loris—but if you encounter one, you best try. Though they look like benign baby Ewoks, these vicious mammals are actually quite venomous—and if they feel attacked, they can (and will) mix their toxins into their saliva and fur to harm perceived predators.

Wild Bactrian Camel

Rocking a long curved neck, long legs, and dense eyelashes to reduce the damage from sandstorms, this creature is well-equipped to handle its native climate of Mongolia and China. But droughts and habitat degradation have taken a toll on these animals, and their population is now estimated to be under 1,000.

Pygmy Hog

These dark grayish hogs sport short legs and tails, all the better for them to make their way through the dense grass of the Manas National Park in Assam, India, in which their population is found. The total population is estimated at fewer than 250, though there has been success in the breeding programs that have been initiated to help these numbers to rise.

Prairie dogs kiss.
Prairie dogs are quirky creatures for a number of reasons: They're giant rodents, they dig massive interconnected underground homes, and they kiss. While they're actually touching their front teeth in order to identify each other when they seem to be sweetly sharing a smooch, the BBC explains that scientists believe prairie dogs "'kiss and cuddle' more when they are being watched by zoo visitors," because they "appeared to enjoy the attention."

Black Crested Gibbon

Located in southern China as well as Laos and Vietnam, these apes have arms about twise the length of their bodies, making it the longest arm-length (relative to body) of all primates. But according to IUCN, the population of the gibbons has declined more than 80 percent in the last 45 years, due to hunting and habitat loss. They are down to just 1,300 to 2,000 today.
