The Guam rail, known locally and in Chamorro as ko'ko', is a small, terrestrial bird in the Rallidae family. They are endemic of the island of Guam, and are one of the island's few remaining endemic bird species. The species became extinct in the wild in the early 1980s when biologists captured the remaining wild population. They have since been successfully reintroduced to Guam and introduced to the nearby Rota and Cocos islands. In 2019, the species became the second bird after the California condor to be reclassified by the IUCN from extinct in the wild to critically endangered.
The Guam flying fox, also known as the little Marianas fruit bat, is an extinct species of small megabat endemic to Guam in the Marianas Islands in Micronesia that was confirmed extinct due to hunting or habitat changes.

An unconfirmed sighting took place sometime during the 1970s, and no other individuals have been sighted since then.
