Anteaters are not an endangered species as of right now but anteaters have lost a lot of their population due to hunting and the destruction of their habitats.
Anteaters could eventually become endangered in 40 or more years but it's unlikely they will become endangered anytime soon.
I love anteaters and I have 2 anteaters that hang around my house and it's a good thing too because once those anteaters have started hanging around my house I haven't had to deal with too many ants coming into my house anymore.
I've actually become friends with those 2 anteaters and they come up to me after they've learned that I would not harm them.
