For example, the African striped weasel or zorilla (Ictonyx striatus) is listed as a species of "Least Concern" by the IUCN Red List, while the Saharan striped polecat (Ictonyx libycus) is listed as "Near Threatened" due to habitat loss and degradation. However, other species of zorillas may face threats from habitat loss, hunting, and other human activities.
