The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) is one of the most endangered species in North America. An endangered species is a species of organisms facing a high rick of extinction. Generally this is caused by changes in the animal's habitat; this could be changes in living conditions or food sources. In the case of the black-footed ferret both the habitat – prairie dog towns – and their food source – prairie dogs – were changed.
