1. Slow Loris
2. Siberian / Amur Tiger
3. Philippine Eagle
4. Sumatran Rhinoceros
5. Orangutan
6. Pygmy Hippopotamus
7. Yangtze Finless Porpoise
Why they're badass: Commonly found in the Yangtze River in China, they're one of the few remaining freshwater dolphins in existence, and they lack a dorsal fin usually found on other dolphins. After another freshwater dolphin, the baiji, went extinct in the past decade, conservation efforts for these guys have increased drastically.
8. Tasmanian Devil
9. Pangolin
Why they're badass: Pangolins are born with scales that start out soft when they're born and grow increasingly hard and sharp with age. They use these to deflect predators by curling into a ball, which actually works. Pangolin mothers also carry their offspring around on their tail, which is both efficient and adorable.
