Once the most widespread of Asian rhinos, Javan rhinos are now listed as critically endangered. With only one known population in the wild, it is one of the world's rarest large mammals.
There are between 58 and 68 in the wild, with none living in captivity. The rhinos are often poached for their horns, although loss of habitat, especially resulting from the Vietnam War, has also contributed to their decline.
The only population of Javan rhinos can be found in Ujung Kulon National Park on the south-western tip of Java, Indonesia. The only other population, in Vietnam, was wiped out in 2010.
2. Vaquita

The vaquita is considered the rarest endangered marine mammal in the world. Sadly, the future looks bleak for this small porpoise, with just 10 left in the wild.
Found solely in the northern part of the Gulf of California, Mexico, they are fairly easy to spot due to the shallow water that they inhabit - lagoons generally no deeper than 30m. They'll quickly scarper if a boat sails by, though.
In the last few years, the population has dwindled at an alarming rate. Fishing nets, chlorinated pesticides, irrigation and inbreeding are just a few of the threats causing the species to teeter on the brink of extinction.
