✰ Black-footed ferrets are going to go extinct! We need to do what we can to save them. There are only about 350 left in the environment. They are dying because of habitat loss. Let's help save the black-footed ferrets and protect them. These animals are so sweet and it would be a pain to lose them. Black-footed Ferrets are endangered because much of the shortgrass prairie habitat on which the ferrets depend has been plowed for crops. ✰

Facts about the Black-Footed ferret

➭ Black-footed ferrets spend about 90 percent of their time underground, where they eat, sleep and raise their young in prairie dog burrows. They are nocturnal and leave their burrows at night to hunt. 

Why save these animals?

➭ They are the only ferret species native to North America so they hold a very special historical record.

Ferrets are a mid-level predator, preying mostly on prairie dogs and providing food for raptors and other night hunters. 

What can you do?

➭ Contact your state Senators and Representatives and governors in western states and let them know that you support prairie dog and black-footed ferret recovery.
