   Extractions: Posted May 31, 1997. This is a selective review of background and issues, drawn primarily from existing documents and articles, supplemented by interviews with state and federal personnel in several states. [Notes appear at end of the paper.] "Ferret" is the common name for Mustela putorius furo , a subspecies of the polecat, Mustela putorius. (The skunk, sometimes incorrectly called a "polecat" is a different species from the polecat, although both species emit a malodorous spray.) The black-footed ferret, Mustela nigripes is a different species, and is endangered. In 1986, only 18 individuals of the species remained, although an effort is underway to breed and reintroduce the species into the Midwest area of the U.S. Except as otherwise specifically noted, the information below refers to the domesticated ferret, often kept as a pet where allowed (currently in all states but California and Hawaii) and sometimes used for hunting and pest control. This discussion does not encompass the black-footed ferret or the polecat except as explicitly mentioned. Ferrets are sometimes humorously called "carpet sharks" and described as "fur-covered Slinkies" (in recognition of their flexibility) or "sock-puppets with legs." They are widely viewed as playful, curious, highly active, and sociable, although not inclined to become attached to a home ("lacking a homing instinct"). They are carnivores and require a meat-based diet. Their teeth are unusually sharp, even when they are quite young, and they tend, as one biologist put it, to "explore the world with their mouths."

   Extractions: Fax: 202-682-1331 STATUS: Endangered DESCRIPTION: The black-footed ferret is a member of the weasel family (mustelids). It has a long neck and black markings on its face, the tip of its tail and on its feet. It is very quick and agile and is most active at night (nocturnal). SIZE: Ferrets grow up to 2 feet in length (including a 6 inch tail) and weigh approximately 2 to 3 pounds. POPULATION: Approximately a thousand black-footed ferrets live in captivity at breeding facilities, while another 80 exist in the wild following release by the federal government. LIFESPAN: Black-footed ferrets have been known to live up to 12 years in captivity. RANGE: The black-footed ferret was once found throughout the eastern and southern Rockies and the Great Plains. HABITAT: Prairie dog towns of the plains and plateaus are also home to the black-footed ferret, who utilize their burrows for shelter and travel. FOOD: Prairie dogs make up the main staple of the ferret’s diet although they occasionally eat mice and other small animals.

10. Black-Footed Ferret (Endangered Species), Wildlife Species Information: U.S. Fis
    The US Fish and wildlife Service listed blackfooted ferrets as endangered in 1967 under a precursor to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

    Extractions: Black-footed ferrets hunt prairie dogs at night, but occasionally they are active above ground during the day. In search of prey, they move along in loping bounds from one burrow to the next. [US FWS Line Art by Robert Savannah] Photograph (39.3 K image) [US FWS Photograph By Rick Krueger] Biologists consider black-footed ferrets to be the most endangered mammal in the United States. Recently, however, thanks to aggressive captive-breeding and reintroduction programs, much progress has been made toward recovering the ferret population. Black-footed ferrets are members of the weasel family (Mustelidae), a distinction they share with weasels, martens, fishers, otters, minks, wolverines and skunks. Larger than weasels, black-footed ferrets are long, slender-bodied animals similar in size to a mink. They are characterized by a brownish-black mask across the face, a brownish head, black feet and legs, and a black tip on the tail. Ferrets' short, buff-colored fur becomes lighter on the underside of their bodies. The middle of the back has brown-tipped guard hairs that create the appearance of a dark saddle. Black-footed ferrets may look like the ferrets found in pet stores but they are actually a different species. Both belong to the weasel family but ferrets sold as pets evolved in Europe, while endangered black-footed ferrets evolved in North America.

    Extractions: Red Deer Even on a brief visit to Mull it will soon become obvious that this is a good place for wildlife. Red deer roam the hills. Eagles and Buzzards soar over the skylines. Seals and otters can be seen in many of the bays and inlets. Mull's blend of mountains, coastline, moorland and bogs is a wonderful habitat for both flora and fauna. Red deer are seen on the hills and in the many forests here. In the winter they are often found along the shoreline licking the salt from the rocks. Fallow deer inhabit the wooded area around Gruline and Salen and wild white goats are found from Grass Point in the south-east down to the Ross of Mull in the south-west. Seals are easily viewed from a number of points on the island, but the best way to see them is from a boat, as they swim in the sea or bask on one of the small islands around Mull. Both the common seal and the Atlantic grey seal (the third rarest seal in the world) are frequently seen. Grey Seal Pup Common dolphin One of Mull's bottlenose dolphins Mull is one of the best places to see whales and dolphins in the UK and Europe too. The waters around Mull are home to bottlenose dolphins, minke whales and harbour porpoises. Risso's dolphins, killer whales, common dolphins and Atlantic white-sided dolphins are also common visitors to the area.

14. 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/wildlife/ferrets.html
    
    Extractions: 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. 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.

    Extractions: 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.
