Description
  • Black footed ferrets are tan, and have black
    markings on their feet, legs, and the tip of
    their tails.
  • Their size from head to body is usually 15-20
    inches, and the tail is usually 4.25-5 inches.

3
Habitat
  • The black-footed ferret is usually found on short
    grass and mid-grass prairies. When its not doing
    anything it occupies an underground burrow.

4
Location
  • They lived in prairie colonies from Southern
    Canada to northern Mexico.
  • By 1986 they were completely gone from the wild.
  • Today they have been reintroduced in Wyoming,
    South Dakota, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Texas,
    Mexico.

5
Food Sources
  • Prairie dogs make up 90 of their diet. They
    could eat over 100 prairie dogs in one year.
  • They are known to eat ground squirrels, small
    rodents, rabbits and birds.

6
Fun Facts
  • Black Footed Ferrets dont migrate.
  • Females ferrets are called jills, and males are
    hobs.
  • Baby ferrets are called kits.

7
Year why
  • They were added in the Endangered Species List in
    1986.
  • They are extinct because only 2 of the land
    that they had still exists.
  • They are basically homeless.

8
Action Plan
  • By fundraisers, the southern states will purchase
    about 1,000 acres and put prairie dogs. The
    prairie dogs will help feed Black-Footed Ferrets.
    The amount of Ferrets will be as much as
    agricultural possible.

Letter to Leader
  • Dear Senator Judith Zaffrini of District 21,
  • The Black-Footed Ferret is an endangered
    animal in North America. Mainly because by 1986,
    only 2 of their grasslands were still
    functional. We think we should have fundraisers
    to raise money to buy 1,000 acres. These acres
    will have prairie dogs so the Ferrets so they can
    eat. These acres will have as many Ferrets as
    possible.

  • Sincerely,
  • Kids trying to help a friendly
    creature!
