The endangered black eyed ferret is a member of the weasel family. It is the only ferret that lives in the native to North America.These Ferrets is a different species of European origin. Black- eyed ferrets were out numbered from ten to thousands, but started becoming extinct in the late 1960s. Although they are still endangered they are starting to make a comeback, and many are excited about that and are ready to be helping achieve this new adventure for them.

A little description about them is The black-eyed ferret has a tan body with black legs and feet, a black tip on the tail and a black mask, also there eyes can go 360°. The ferret has short legs with large front paws and claws that are great for digging. Its large skull and strong jaw and teeth are for eating meat.

There diet consist of eating Prairie dogs. They can eat at the most 100 prairie dogs in 1 year. But sometimes they don't have enough from the prairie dogs so they also eat ground squirrels, small rodents, rabbits and birds. Scientists have studied that a healthy Ferret should consist of having acres of prairie dogs to survive. But now Prairie Dogs have fewer packs and are now letting Ferrets run out.

How they behave is Black-eyed ferrets spend about 90 percent of their time underground, where they eat, sleep and raise their young in prairie dog burrows. They are nocturnal, and leave their burrows at night to hunt prairie dogs.

How they reproduce is incredible Kits are born blind and helpless and stay below ground until they are about two months old. At this age, the female begins to take her young on hunting forays and separates the kits into different burrows. By October, the young are completely independent and will disperse to their own territories.

Most are at the bottom of the food change and are open to the creatures that are larger than them and have a better view to get them. The specific creatures that roam for the Black-Footed Ferret are Golden Eagles,Great horned howls,and coyotes. Half of there predators are in the air so it wouldn't be that bad if they had 360 vision if they could already see if the predators or coming to have a quick escape even before they come to attack.

After all this we can see how having a black footed ferret with 360 vision and an increased reproductive system can bring it out of endangerment and can make it a live animal again. This will help out the Eco system and make the world a better place.
