Doesn't matter if you're a plant or an animal, living near humans is not good for you.

Whether it's hunting, fishing, habitat destruction or pollution, humans are rapidly killing off all kinds of different species of flora and fauna.

The IUCN and the Zoological Society of London have released a list of the top 100 most endangered species on the planet.

So if you run across any of them, don't disturb them!

Or get them to mate!

Just don't kill any!

Check out the ENTIRE LIST AFTER THE JUMP!

Pop the bubbly!

A brand new baby Red Panda was just born at Zoo Planckendael in Belgium!

It's their first Red Panda which is great for the zoo but also great for the species because the Red Panda, native to Nepal, is listed as a vulnerable species.

It's vulnerable mainly because its habitat is being destroyed and they are often caught and killed for their fur.

Which is just wrong and all sorts of awful!

How could you want to do anything other than just cuddle one of these little guys?

Congrats on the new baby!
