Two of Venezuela's endangered animals:
on the 50-note the legenda underneath the animal says 'Cunaguaro'.
In Spanish, it refers to two types of animals:
1: the Leopardus Pardalis or Ocelot,
2: the Leopardus Tigrinus or Tigrillo/Oncillo.

Since the Ocelot is not an endangered animal, we see the Oncillo or Tiger Cat on the note.
This animal is vulnerable and lives in mayor parts of Venezuela, as well in almost the entire country of Brazil.
Tiger Cat or Oncillo
Tiger Cat in action
on the  100-note we see a brown spider monkey.
The animal only lives in Colombia and partly in Venezuela, and now is critically endagered.
It is considered to be in the top 25 of most endangered primates.
