Twelve Incredibly Odd Endangered Creatures

1. Solenodon
The solenodon is a mammal found primarily in Cuba and Hispanola. The species was thought to be extinct until scientists found a few still alive in 2003. Solenodons only prefer to come out at night.

Symptoms of a solenodon bite are very similar to a snake bite, including swelling and severe pain, lasting several days.
