According to the latest red list of endangered species brought out by the World Conservation Union (IUCN), mammals top the list of animals facing extinction.

Interestingly, the new list suggests that 11 per cent of bird species are threatened with global extinction, while 25 per cent of mammal species face a similar fate.
