The kermode bear is not officially endangered, but it is considered to be close to that status. Experts estimate that there are fewer than 400 of these bears left in the wild.

The Kermode bear is merely a subspecies of the black bear, not a species unto itself. Around 10% of these bears are white, most look like other black bears.

Polar bears are allegedly making a comeback. Only eight of the nineteen subpopulations are in decline. The IUCN's current listing is as 'Vulnerable', which is a sub-heading under 'Threatened', but certainly not 'Endangered'.

The Spirit Bear (Kermode Bear) is a subspecies of the American Black Bear, and is white, or cream-colored. They have always been rare in nature, currently estimated to number only 400 to 1000 individuals.

1. There is no such species as a white koala bear.

2. There is no such species as a "koala bear". The creature is simply a 'koala', and has no relation to bears at all.

3. There is just one species of koala, and it is not endangered. The rare occurrence of a white koala is the result of albinism.

Therefore, the answer to the question is 'no'.

The Kermode bear is only a race of the black bear, and actually, only about 20% of this race is white. It cannot be classified as an endangered species, because the black bear is a common species.
