Helan Shan Pika

This adorable rabbit relative lives in the rocky terrain and meadows of the Helan Mountains of China, feeding on grass and making "haypiles" of dried grass and foliage, which it feeds on during the winter. Deforestation has hit the grayish-brown critter hard, leading it to be listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species

Greater monkey-faced bat

This "megabat" has a wingspan as long as 4.9 feet, with black fur and a unique "double canine tooth" which better allows it to break open coconuts in its local habitat of the Solomon Islands of Papau New Guinea. Forest clearance and disturbance has had a negative impact on this species.

Pangolin

Looking like a cross between an armadillo and a pineapple, these creatures would seem well protected, with scales covering every inch of their body (which they put to good use by rolling up into a ball when threatened). But these tough animals are under threat by traffickers who consider their meat a delicacy and their scales to be a cure for everything from asthma to arthritis. Of the eight species that have been found throughout Asia and Africa, two are on the Critically Endangered list of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

There's a kind of ant that only lives in a small area of Manhattan.

If you're ever in the area of "the Broadway medians at 63rd and 76th streets" in New York City, keep an eye on the ground for crawling critters and you might spot something rare. That's where the "ManhattAnt" can be found, an ant that only lives in the one small area of the city. "It's a relative of the cornfield ant, and it looks like it's from Europe, but we can't match it up with any of the European species," Rob Dunn, a biology professor at North Carolina State University, told the New York Post. Dunn and his team discovered the isolated ant variety in 2012.
