Maybe one of our Kansas friends will be showing pics of black-footed ferrets soon. Nine offspring were produced at the reintroduction site. :wink:

This is an update from a previous post I made on the subject:

Sorry, I tried to make a [url] link but it doesn't like the wrap around...

Best,
Don

Very cool Don. I wish I could say I can make it out to The Smokey Valley Ranch in the near future. I know now it should be on my list of Kansas must visit places.
Thanks for the info.

I'm glad the ferrets are doing well. The Ranch is on my wish list, but probably won't happen this year.

It's good to have one of these things go the other way now and then and see a species brought back from the brink of extinction. I'm afraid we're going to be swamped with extinctions as the advent of climate change causes havoc in all sorts of ecosystems.
