now a days mostly all the species are getting endangered then even pandas can be one of them. well due to global warming there is a increase in the level of carbon dioxide which causes the melting of glaciers thus adding danger to those living in snow.

Yes. They are the most trafficked animal in the world, those cute little ant eaters with keratin scales are considered as food in some countries mostly in Asia and in some places of Africa and Asia they are poached for religious or healing rituals. Though capturing them is unlawful, they are still being trafficked to make meals and be used for medicinal purposes.
