Arakan Forest Turtle
The very unique Arakan forest turtle can live both on land or in water, although adults usually prefer to live on dry earth. Originally, experts thought that the turtle was extinct way back in 1908. But in 1994 they changed their minds when specimens of the turtle turned up in Asian food markets. Despite this discovery, the World Wildlife Fund has deemed this creature a critically endangered species.

Spoon Billed Sandpiper
The spoon billed sandpiper got its name because of its unique beak. It has come onto the stage recently due to its status of being a critically endangered species. Its natural habitat is around the China-Russia border. Recently numbers of this bird really started to fall since their migration stopover habitats are no longer in existence.
