Well i thought i would try out an adult version of the ferret i did earlier, less fluffy but still cute.

The arrival of European settlers resulted in a nearly complete conversion of grasslands to agricultural fields. Today urban and sub-urban development is also threatening black-footed ferret habitat. With extensive persecution of prairie dogs by farmers, the food supply for ferrets has dramatically been reduced(being the ferrets main diet). Ferrets are also very susceptible to a number of diseases including sylvatic plague, canine distemper, and human influenza that are associated with human intrusion on their habitat.

They were listed as extirpated in Canada in 1978 by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada but have recently been reintroduced in Canada. The Toronto Zoo had been successful in having had 6 500 kits born in captivity with the majority being released into the wild. Today, thanks to ongoing international collaborations, ferrets have been reintroduced to the wild at 17 sites in the US, one in Mexico and now one in Canada.
