A short description of this animal is that it has a dull yellow coat with brown fur on its head and down the middle of its back. It also has black fur on the head, the legs, and the end of the tail. It has a long, slim body with short legs. The ferret is a part of the weasel family. The ferret's habitat is central North America.
Ferrets feed on prairie dogs.
Therefore, they live in different areas in North America where the prairie dogs are. The threat toward the black-footed ferret is that farmers think that the prairie dogs are a threat to their livestock and try to poison them. The problem with this is that the ferrets eat them, and the ferrets get the poison themselves. The other problem with trying to poison the prairie dogs is that once the dogs are gone, the black-footed ferret has nothing to eat. Eventually, they will all die off.
