The black-footed ferret lives in temperate grasslands and semi-arid prairies. They spend most of their time safely underground. They make their homes inside tunnels dug by prairie dogs.
These burrows provide a safe shelter from harsh weather and predators. Wild populations inhabit parts of the Great plains across North America. Reintroduction programs placed them in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

| National Black Footed Ferret Day - September 26th | Black-footed Ferret Day is celebrated on September 26th each year to commemorate the day in 1981 when a rancher's dog named Shep rediscovered a small population of black-footed ferrets in Meeteetse, Wyoming. The discovery gave the species, which was once widespread across the western plains of the U.S. and Canada, a second chance at survival. |
