Fox News reports that the Wildlife Conservation Society has released a list of the ‘Rarest of the Rare,’ a dozen animals most in danger of extinction.

The eclectic list includes birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians and insects. Some are well known, such as the northern right whale and Sumatran rhino, while others are more obscure, including Abbot’s booby, an ocean-going bird that only nests on Christmas Island. Others on the list include the addax, the angel shark and the golden arrow poison frog.
