Description Habitat
Status
The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) has been considered the most endangered mammal in North America for many years. Although it was probably never abundant, historically the ferret occurred throughout the Great Plains in 12 states and two Canadian provinces, from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains east to Nebraska and from southern Canada south to Texas. Ferrets were occasionally listed in fur company records from the upper Missouri River basin in the early to mid-1800s. The ferret was held in special regard by Native Americans, who used its pelts on headdresses and in religious ceremonies. The range of the black-footed ferret coincides closely with that of three species of prairie dogs on which the ferret depends for food and habitat. As the plains were settled and large tracts of prairie were plowed for farmland, prairie dog and ferret habitat was destroyed. Poisoning campaigns eliminated vast acreages of prairie dogs that were competing with livestock for forage. Prairie dogs occupied an estimated 700 million acres in the Great Plains in the late 1800s but occupy only about 1.5 million acres today. The black-footed ferret’s decline probably followed that of the prairie dog. In the 1950s, ferrets were still thought to occur in low densities throughout most of their historic range. In the 1960s, the only known population of black-footed ferrets was a small colony in southwestern South Dakota. That colony was studied from its discovery in 1964 until the last member died in captivity in 1979.

The Black-footed Ferret is one of three species of ferrets in the world. This endangered animal requires large prairie dog colonies that provide food and shelter. In modern times rural development has fragmented and reduced much prairie dog habitat, which in turn has caused severe population declines of black-footed ferrets. Little is known about the biology of the elusive black-footed ferret. Several zoos in the United States and Canada are cooperating in the housing and breeding of the remaining ferrets. Offspring from these efforts are being reintroduced into the wild. This has had cautious success. Disease and limited prairie dog range hamper this program. A large area of prairie and very many prairie dogs are needed to support just a few black-footed ferrets. Prairie dogs comprise about 90 per cent of this animal's diet. It is estimated that a family of four black-footed ferrets will eat over 700 prairie dogs per year. Other predators rely on prairie dog populations as well. These include burrowing owls, swift fox, badgers, golden eagles and prairie falcons. The black-footed ferrets are about 20 - 24 inches long, including a 6 inch tail. They weigh up to two and a half pounds. They have short strong legs, a short furry tail and protruding ears.They have the appearance of a yellowish-brown body with a distinctive black mask across the face, and black on the feet and on the tip of their tails.

FERRETS IN COLORADO
Considered one of the rarest mammals in North America, the black-footed ferret is steadily making its way back into the wild. On November 15, more than three dozen black-footed ferrets will be released along the Wolf Creek and Coyote Basin areas in northwest Colorado. The effort will mark the ninth wild release of the species since recovery operations began in the mid-1980s. It is the first release of black-footed ferrets in Colorado. "Humans brought them to near extinction, we have a legal and moral obligation to bring them back," said Gene Byrne, a biologist with the Colorado Division of Wildlife who is coordinating the release. Biologists from the Division are working in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Geological Survey, Animal Plant Health Inspection Service and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to manage the release.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico released the ferrets in the vicinity of Janos, Chihuahua, Mexico, located roughly 140 miles southwest of El Paso, Texas. The ferrets released in Mexico were born in captivity at the National Black-footed Ferret Conservation Center near Laramie, Wyoming; the Smithsonian National Zoological Park's Conservation and Research Center, Front Royal, Virginia; and the Turner Endangered Species Fund breeding facility in Raton, New Mexico. "Today we celebrate a major step in wildlife conservation history as we continue our groundbreaking joint efforts to restore a species that has disappeared from Mexico," said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Acting Director Marshall Jones.

13. Wildlife: Blackfooted Ferrets
The ferrets from the Meeteetse population became part of a captive breeding program,housed primarily at Wyoming’s Sybille wildlife Research Center.
http://www.greateryellowstone.org/ferrets.html
Blackfooted Ferrets in Greater Yellowstone
The black-footed ferret, a member of the weasel family, once hunted prairie dogs on over 900 million windswept acres in twelve states and two Canadian provinces. Livestock interests prompted the government to poison prairie dogs, whose burrows were perceived to be a hazard to livestock. To this end, strychnine was scattered widely, which not only eliminated the prairie dogs, but also poisoned the ferrets which depended on them as a prey base. The black-footed ferret is now listed as an endangered species.
Amid speculation that the species was extinct, a small population of black-footed ferrets was discovered in Meeteetse, Wyoming on the eastern edge of Greater Yellowstone in 1981. An outbreak of canine distemper among the population, however, led biologists to capture the last 18 Meeteetse ferrets in 1985-87. The species was then extinct in the wild.
In the fall of 1991, 49 captive-reared juvenile ferrets were released in the Shirley Basin area of southern Wyoming. Another ferret release, also in Shirley Basin, was completed in fall of 1992.
The small size of both the captive and the reintroduced ferret populations represent a serious obstacle to their recovery. For example, the Meeteetse population was down to only 128 ferrets before it was devastated by canine distemper. Thus, it is essential that as many wild populations as possible be established and that those reintroduced populations have the maximum protection afforded by the Endangered Species Act.

September/October 2001 New Chance for Ferrets?
By Christie Aschwanden
This September, the most endangered mammal in the United States may get a vital boost—in Mexico
A TINY, BLACK NOSE darts up through a prairie dog hole and back down so fast it seems imagined. A few seconds later, an entire head pokes up, and a pair of curious black eyes gaze out. Picture a furry eel with legs and a face resembling a baby raccoon's, and you get a sense of the black-footed ferret. This one can smell today's meal—prairie dog—resting on the soil just beyond the safe reaches of the burrow, but it hesitates, scanning the scene for signs of danger. Finally, it makes its move. With the grace of a snake and the speed of a cheetah, it snatches the rodent in its teeth and yanks it into the burrow. The whole process is over in the blink of an eye. This is no wild ferret, however. It was born here at the National Black-Footed Ferret Conservation Center run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in Sybille, Wyoming, northeast of Laramie. And presently it is attending a boot camp of sorts. The prairie dog it snatched was already dead, and the entire food-catching exercise is part of a training program to give the ferret a taste of the wild before it's shipped off to the real world—to Mexico, for what scientists say is the most ambitious attempt yet to save North America's most endangered mammal. In fact, its journey south—part of a plan in which Mexico is helping to rescue the species—may be one of the black-footed ferret's last chances for survival until habitat for its prairie dog prey is restored in the United States. This September, if all goes as planned, researchers will release between 75 and 110 of the animals in northwestern Chihuahua. Their far-reaching plan aims not only to restore the ferret, but also to save a key remnant of an imperiled grassland ecosystem that once stretched endlessly across the continent.

17. Prairie Wildlife Research - Black-footed Ferrets
BLACKFOOTED ferrets. The diet of a ferret consists almost entirely ofprairie dogs and ferrets are found only on prairie dog colonies.
http://www.prairiewildlife.org/ferrets
BLACK-FOOTED FERRETS Black-footed ferrets ( Mustela nigripes ) are a federally endangered species and a member of the weasel family, closely related to mink, badgers and otters. They are dependent upon prairie dogs ( Cynomys spp.) for food and shelter. Prairie dogs are social rodents that live in colonies (or towns) on the Great Plains. The diet of a ferret consists almost entirely of prairie dogs and ferrets are found only on prairie dog colonies. Such a high dependence on prairie dogs was almost the demise of black-footed ferrets as poisoning, land conversion and disease drastically reduced prairie dog populations throughout the 20th century. By 1980, no black-footed ferrets were known to exist and the species was nearly declared extinct until a small population was discovered in Meeteetse, Wyoming in September of 1981. The Meeteetse ferrets thrived on white-tailed prairie dogs ( Cynomys leucurus ) and the population reached as high as 129 ferrets. But this population succumbed to a combination of diseases, canine distemper (fatal to ferrets) and sylvatic plague (fatal to prairie dogs and ferrets). Biologists removed as many ferrets as they could find and placed them in captivity. By 1987, the last 18 black-footed ferrets in the world inhabited a captive breeding center near Laramie, Wyoming. Captive breeding was successful, and by 1991 enough black-footed ferret kits were produced that some could be released into the wild. Black-footed ferrets have since been released into six western states (Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado) on State, Federal, Tribal, and private lands.

http://www.prairiewildlife.org/projects
Prairie Wildlife Research is actively involved in the monitoring and research of black-footed ferrets in the Conata Basin of South Dakota. Conata Basin is located on the Buffalo Gap National Grassland, administered by the U.S. Forest Service, and contains the largest free-ranging population of ferrets in the world. The black-footed ferret is a member of the weasel family and relies exclusively upon prairie dogs as prey and their burrows for shelter. Since the early 1900's, prairie dogs have been reduced drastically, making the black-footed ferret one of the most endangered mammals in the world. By 1987, researchers captured the last 18 remaining black-footed ferrets, which then became the nucleus of a successful captive breeding program. Since 1991, reintroductions have occurred in seven U.S. states and Mexico, but most programs have little to moderate success. Major obstacles to black-footed ferret recovery include disease (sylvatic plague) and habitat loss. Black-footed ferrets are nocturnal, secretive animals and only two populations of ferrets were studied before reintroductions began in 1991, limiting our knowledge of the species. Through research, PWR and its partners ( U.S. Forest Service
