between extinct and endangered?

Extinct

Endangered

Endangered animals are a type of animal that still lives on earth, but there are very few, and may become extinct.

Humans are some times the reason for the animals not being able to meet their needs because of destroying their homes, over hunting, polluting their environment, killing it’s food.
