Axolotl ~ Mexican walking fish (Ambystoma mexicanum)
Classified as Critically Endangered (CR IUCN 3.1) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species

The axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, is a neotenic mole salamander belonging to the Tiger Salamander complex. Larvae of this species fail to undergo metamorphosis, so the adults remain aquatic and gilled. The species originates from Lake Texcoco underlying Mexico City and is also called ajolote (which is also the common name for the Mexican Mole Lizard). Axolotls are used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate most body parts, ease of breeding, and large embryos.

Black-spotted Cuscus (Spilocuscus rufoniger)
Classified as Critically Endangered (CR A4cd) on the 2010 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

The black-spotted cuscus is a nocturnal marsupial known only from northern parts of the island of New Guinea. Known from only 18 specimens, this highly distinctive cuscus is thought to have been driven to the brink of extinction by increasing human pressure on its forest habitat. One of the largest species of cuscus, this species is targeted by hunters throughout its range. This hunting pressure, together with large-scale habitat conversion for agriculture and settlements throughout its range has drastically reduced numbers, and wiped out the species from many parts of its former range.

Snow Leopard (Uncia uncia or Panthera uncia)
Classified as Endangered (EN A1c) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Snow leopards live between 3,000 and 5,500 metres (9,800 and 18,000 ft) above sea level in the rocky mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. Their secretive nature means that their exact numbers are unknown, but it has been estimated that between 3,500 and 7,000 snow leopards exist in the wild and between 600 and 700 in zoos worldwide

I didn't know - there ARE endangered jellyfish:

The Freshwater Craspedacusta sowerbyi Lankester - Peach Blossom Jellyfish
The jellyfish which live in saline waters are multiplying at an alarming rate and are nowhere near, to be an endangered species. But there is a fresh water jellyfish which was facing extinction worldwide, was recently again spotted in large quantities in Zhelin Lake in east China's Jiangxi Province. This species is called Craspedacusta sowerbyi or the Peach Blossom Jellyfish, as it is commonly called in China, as it looks like a peach blossom in full bloom.

Enigmatic_Owlet

The Enigmatic Owlet-nightjar (Aegotheles savesi) also known as the New Caledonian Owlet-nightjar, is a large owlet-nightjar (a kind of bird related to swifts and goatsuckers) with vermiculated grey-brown and black plumage. It has a long, slightly rounded tail, short, rounded wings, and long, stout legs. Its voice is unknown but similar birds make churring and whistling sounds.
It is Critically Endangered. This large nightjar is known from two specimens taken in 1880 and 1915 and a couple of sightings. The most recent is from the 1998 expedition which saw a large nightjar foraging for insects at dusk in Rivière Ni Valley. This exciting report, plus noises similar to the genus being heard in 1996 and 1998, lead many to believe that this species still survives in small numbers.

Przewalski's Horse {equus przewalskii}
save_the_wild
This stocky, pony-like animal, named for the Russian naturalist who discovered it in 1879, is the only surviving species of wild horse. Only 1.2 m high, it once inhabited the vast grasslands of central Asia, but beginning in the early 1900s, hunting pressure, competition for grazing land and water, and interbreeding with domestic Mongol ponies contributed to its increasing scarcity in its natural state.
