Because all species of otter naturally have relatively low birthrates, combined with their 15-year average lifespan, they are vulnerable to extinction factors. These threats include hunting for the fur trade (a practice that has widely been abolished), oil spills, and imbalance in the food chain. (Orca whales, for example, are growing stronger populations, where some fish, such as salmon, have become increasingly threatened.)
Its becoming extinct because people are killing them and ruining their homes.
