| Black-Footed Ferret, Wyoming, 1994 |
| Long a symbol for conservation, the black-footed ferret was feared extinct until a Wyoming rancher's dog brought a dead one home in the 1980s. The discovery of this last remnant population allowed captive breeding efforts to begin and save the species. Today, many ferrets have been returned to the wild, though inbreeding and disease threaten its survival over the long term. |
