You have the power

Just watched an old video and had an awfull thought if one day you wake up to find you have 24 hours to save just 10 animals before all funding run out and only the 10 you choose will recieve funding in the future which 10 animals would you save
(this is just your thoughts and do not reflect on any on going conservation project)

I would like to save the

01 Javan Rhino
02 bengal tiger
03 liberian lynx
04 great crested newt
05 red wolf
06 borneau orangutan
07 northern hairy nosed wombat
08 killer whale
09 bittern
10 black and white ruffed lemur

I would be interested to read what animals you would save.

Would the effect the animals have on other species be taken into account, for example if bats died out then a number of fruiting trees would as well leading to far more extinctions than a less ecologically important species would have done.

This is just a hyperthetical question I would like to know which ten animals you would save.
will start a new thread with which ten animals are the most important to the ecological system of our planet and also which ten do the most damage.

In that case I'd save red pandas, sumatran orangutans, mountain gorillas south china tigers, european brown bears, short-nosed echidnas, galapagos land iguanas, green sea turtles, ocean sunfish and humans because, despite knowing all the damage we do, I'm selfish!
