How about:

White rhinoceros
Blue whale
Kodiak brown bear (or polar bear)
Siberian tiger

Should be fairly easy.

For Lance, elephants are larger than most of the animals listed, and for Panda the Kodiak is not endangered that I know of.

Status: offline 		Here's the ref. re endangered Kodiak bears:
 
Brown bears are listed as an endangered species in the countries of Bhutan, Mongolia and China.** The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife also lists the brown bear as endangered. Brown bears are considered threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act in the lower 48 states. They are not protected in Alaska.

They can all be expressed as complex numbers of the style a + bi. 
Only the square root of -1 has a coefficient of b not equal to zero.  The other numbers will have a b equal to zero.
