The leftmost I've named shovelshrew. His evolution is based around the pursuit of nourishment, as so many are. Based on the anatomy of a bird or small insect eating mammal, the shovelshrew's primary food source is earth worms and grubs. When the creature's hooves are pressed together they create a large scoop (hence it's name) which it uses to quickly unearth its food. The tail is a kind of defense mechanism, but needs revising evolution-wise.
The middle creature is called the king spider and is a cunning cave-mouth dwelling descendant of the birds. With the evolution of glands that produce a hormone irresistible to spiders in the creature's sides and arms, they seduce spiders into taking up residence on their being. The spiders then craft thick but transparent layers of sticky web between the creature's arms. Once the trap is of sufficient strength the king spider eats his hapless helpers and waits for his real prey, bats and birds, to become ensnared in the trap.
Finally the ram is exactly as its name suggests. In the wake of humans, the inhabitable land mass on earth will be predominantly covered with concrete and buildings. The ram preys on small mammals and lizards which, being small in stature, will inhabit the deserted houses and other buildings of the world and become difficult to hunt down. The ram's thick buttress allows it to demolish buildings to feast on the nests within.
