When? You mean now? Or do you mean generally?
The list of endangered species is huge (thousands of species - too long to list here).
And it changes regularly as species die out and new ones become endangered.
If you to to the WWF site, you could probably find a current list.

Unfortunately, there are many species that are endangered, and there are many more that might be threatened but we lack enough data and knowledge to know for certain.
The "official roll" of endangered animals is found in the Appendices of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), because this international organization recognizes all the species of animals and plants that are threatened at a global level and controls their trade.
There are 3 levels or categories of threat, and accordingly, species are placed in Appendix I, II or III (greatest danger of extinction and total protection, moderate danger and protection, and lesser danger and protection, respectively).
Here's the list:
http://www.cites.org/eng/app/appendices.shtml
Look for the names in the first column (Appendix I); those are the most threatened species worldwide.

Probably some animal that humans kill because it would kill us if it had a chance.
