US Saving Ferrets
A black foot ferret sticks his head out of temporary housing as animal keepers at the National Zoo�s conservation center round-up 26 black foot ferrets, in Front Royal, Va., Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2011, for shipment to Fort Collins Co. This shipment Wednesday marks an important moment in the recovery of a species once declared extinct. Researchers rediscovered the black-footed ferret in 1981 and collected the last 24 in Wyoming to try to save them. Now 1,000 are again living in the wild. Black-footed ferrets are the only ferret native to North America. At least a half million used to live on the Great Plains. Prairie dogs are their main food source. But development, disease and extermination of prairie dogs starved the ferrets.(AP Photo/Cliff Owen)
