The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes), also known as the American polecat or prairie dog hunter, is a species of mustelid native to central North America. It is listed as endangered by the IUCN, because of its very small and restricted populations.lack-footed ferrets may travel up to 11 miles (18 km) to seek prey, suggesting that they will interchange freely among white-tailed prairie dog colonies that are less than 11 miles (18 km) apart. In areas of high prey density, black-footed ferret movements were nonlinear in character, probably to avoid predators.
They are nocturnal, and hunt only at night. They have a very unique way of hunting: when their main prey, the prairie dog, is a asleep in it's burrow, the blackfooted ferret will sneak in and snap it's neck or back. The prairie dog is twice the size of the ferret, but it's jaws and speed allow it to catch this prey.from wikipedia). The ferret's large ears and eyes suggest it has acute hearing and sight, but smell is probably its most important sense for hunting prey underground in the dark. Life expectancy for a black-footed ferret in the wild is probably less than 5 years.
