Biologists Encouraged by Ferrets’ Progress
Grand Junction, CO - Wildlife biologists believe that black-footed ferrets released into the wilds of Colorado are thriving and breeding as the state tries to build a self-sustaining population of the mammal considered to be the rarest in North America.
"The ferret has been listed under the Endangered Species Act for a long time, and this is a great example of that legislation preventing the extinction of another animal," Smith said.
