bad strategy considering it went extinct in the first place

The sinking of your habitat can do that to you, otherwise it has a good evolutionary niche.
Also, the flying ancestors are still around, so if anything happens they can come back in another 20 000 years.

edit: spelling

It went extinct because the sea levels rose and the island it inhabits was entirely under water. Honestly, we're headed that direction - they might be in trouble again in relatively quick order.
