At present, there are beteen 20000-25000 polar bears, and they are considered "Threatened", by the IUCN, not an endangered species at this time.
Polar bears have never been extinct. Though they were on the endangered species list the numbers are now recovering and still considered 'at risk'.

What animals are becoming extinct within fifty years?

Well If global warming keeps on going then the ice at the North and South pole will just keep on melting. So Polar bears and penguins will probably be extinct then. They might go extinct because they need to get back to land to rest and eat the fish they caught. If there is no land they cant do this. So they might stop swimming and drown. yeah these are the only ones I can think of.
