There's no risk of complete extinction, but they may well become extinct in the wild.
Several contributing reasons:
1) logging operations and population increase are reducing the area of chimps natural habitats
2) for some reason "bush meat" (i.e. apes and monkeys slaughtered for food) have become much more popular.
3) logging companies have built roads, making bigger parts of the jungle more accessible than before. Easier access goes hand in hand with the increased demand for bush meat, causing more animals to be hunted and killed.
4) chimp babies are still a sellable commodity as pets and tourist attractions, and they can usually only be gotten by killing off the mother, and frequently the bigger part of the troupe.
no elephants are not extinct they are becoming extinct though. About 100 years ago there were about 10 million elephants that walked the earth and now there are only about 500,000 left. They are becoming extinct because we are killing them for their thick beautiful ivory.
Yes, they are going to be extinct because they are threated
The most well-known extinct elephant species is the mammoth, which went extinct about 4,000 years ago. Other extinct elephants include the straight-tusked elephant and the dwarf elephant species that lived on islands like Sicily and Malta.
Elephants are considered an endangered animals that could become extinct. One threat to the elephant is poaching. Elephants are killed for their tusk for the ivory trade, which is illegal.
Elephants are not extinct. They are currently classified as vulnerable due to threats like habitat loss, poaching, and human-elephant conflicts. Conservation efforts are underway to help protect these magnificent animals and ensure their survival in the wild.

borneo pygmy elephants do not have claws but dohave teeth, they would have no need for claws but do require big molars for crushing leaves.
Extinct means they don't exist anymore. Some elephants may be endangered, but not yet extinct. Elephants are being Endangered by hunting for their skin or body parts.
Pygmy elephants are much, much larger than elephant shrews.
Elephants are less hairy than mammoths and do not posses such large tusks. Elephants are not extinct, while mammoths are.
