Just click the flag! So, this animation was for my science class where I had to make a cartoon about the black footed ferret. I was a little pressed for time, so the full story is in the Notes and Credits box. Song: Bonetrousle by Toby Fox.
So the black footed ferret is a rare species of ferret who lived in Colorado. But as the pioneers came and started killing off the prairie dogs that they fed off of. As the Prairie dogs diminished, the Black Footed Ferret started to die off, and almost went entirely extinct. Many years passed before any trace of them were found. And when they were, they were taken into captivity to breed and rise the population back up. Over 4,500 ferrets have been reintroduced into the wild, although there are some threats to the ferrets.Over hunting by predators, highways, and unforeseen weather are huge factors in their possible extinction. But we have to remain hopeful, and protect this important part of the ecosystem. For more information, visit: http://blackfootedferret.org/
