Did any animals become extinct this year?
That isn't a simple question to answer. Animals don't become extinct in a matter of months or even years. Long-term factors slowly reduce the population. The fewer animals there are, the more congested the gene pool becomes and the smaller the knock that is needed to push the species over the edge. Extinction is a gradual process, and there are many cases where 'extinct' animals have been rediscovered, tens or even thousands of years after they were believed to have died out. Cases in point: Caelocanth and Leadbeater's Possum. An animal is classified as extinct when no living specimens have been (reputedly) sighted for more than (I think this is accurate) ten years. So it's impossible to say what animals have died out this year. If the last sighting of the species was last year and in ten years time there has not been another, that animal will be said to have become extinct this year.
