Like much of the futuristic green building designs and great green architecture of today, the ugly redheaded stepchildren of the animal kingdom don't get much attention compared to the perennial endangered animal favorites like pandas, polar bears, and owls. These are the cute, majestic, and otherwise emblematic creatures of the endangered species list. But there are hundreds more animal species on our wondrous planet that are critically threatened and need both publicity and support. From bats the size of bees to poison-slinging mammals, lizards that don't eat for a decade to seals with giant inflatable faces, here are the 10 strangest, most bizarre, unusual and important endangered species living on the "EDGE" (Evolutionarily Distinct & Globally Endangered). There are so many endangered and threatened animal species in the world it is hard to just pick 10. So, go ahead and read through lists of more and decide for yourself what the strangest is then drop back by and leave a comment with your thoughts. Who knows, maybe the semi-aquatic hairless ape should make the list.
