Black-Footed Ferret
Once thought to be extinct, the black-footed ferret was rediscovered in 1981 near Wyoming. A successful captive breeding program has increased the population from 18 to more than 300. In 1991, a reintroduction program was launched in Wyoming, with later releases in Arizona, Montana, and South Dakota. Now, there are young born in the wild too!
