Meet black-footed ferret Roseanne’s three-month-old kits! These adorable ferrets are living behind-the-scenes at our Conservation Center. The black-footed ferret is a small carnivore considered one of the most endangered mammals in North America. In fact, it was thought to be extinct twice. A small relict population was discovered near Meeteetse, Wyoming in 1981 and there began the amazing story of brining a native species back from the brink of extinction! 📸 : Whitney, Conservation and Science
