Details
The black-footed ferret is considered the rarest mammal in North America. Historically, this once plentiful species occurred throughout the Great Plains from Canada to Texas. This species lives almost entirely on prairie dogs and even occupies their abandoned burrows. Mass prairie dog eradication programs and habitat loss have contributed to the near extinction of the black-footed ferret.

United StatesExcellent Replica & Intriguing Adaptation
The narrow skull and skeletal form of the black footed ferret is suggestive of a mammal on a convergent evolutionary pathway to a snake-like predator. How sad that the devastated populations of the wild ferret and its prey, the prairie dog, are dismally out of equilibrium. I wonder if this animal was the keystone predator for its underground prairie environment?
