Black-footed Ferret Surveys

From U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Mountain-Prairie Region:




Refuge staff and agency veterinarians are conducting black-footed ferret surveys. Over the past 2 nights they've captured 17 ferrets and 7 are kits that were born at the Refuge! Surveys will continue for 6 more nights. Kits are implanted with a identification chip and vaccinated for canine distemper, plague, and rabies and released.
