More Ferrets!
After last month’s ferret post, I’m happy to highlight this article proclaiming the black-footed ferrets triumphant return to the wild. As of 1997 there were only 18 such animals left in their native Wyoming habitat. Fortunately these 18 ferrets were promptly whisked away to zoos, universities, and other ferret lovemaking facilities, and thanks to the support of local ranchers, Wyoming’s black-footed ferret population is back above 200, currently growing at about 35% a year. Hooray for black-footed ferrets! (I also feel obliged to point out that the article’s author is named Megan Fox, so there may be some bias there.)
