its not extinct and it not endangered it just is habitat is being destroyed and it could become endangered

It isn't extinct but it IS endangered. In the 80's there were more concerns for the animal because it was being hunted for its fur. Now on the IUCN list its one of their least concerns. Their population is low in the US.
