An excited group of naturalists and wildlife scientists are in Saskatchewan's Grasslands National Park, releasing black-footed ferrets back into the wild.
"Robair" said Do they eat gophers? 'Cause that would be awesome.
They are nocturnal hunters that require a plentiful supply of prairie dogs for prey. Though they will also eat other small mammals, birds, and insects, a single Black-footed ferret eats about 100 prairie dogs a year and cannot survive without access to large colonies of them.
Damned, I knew I should have left him in his cage... See what he has been doing now...
Do they eat gophers? 'Cause that would be awesome.
So the answer is Yes!!!
