The Black Footed Ferret Cam has been moved to another web page.
It is now at
http://natzoo.si.edu/Animals/SmallMammals/default.cfm?Cam=SM3
The original page now has a web cam of naked mole rats, which, in my
opinion, are among the ugliest little critters around. But they are
so ugly they are cute!
But anyway, back to the BFF cam. This info on the ferret is from one of
the main BFF researchers at the National Zoo.
>The Black footed ferret on the National Zoo webcam is named Bird. She
>is a 3 year old female that is in the artificial insemination program
>at CRC because she is genetically valuable to the captive population.
>She produced 1 kit in 2003. We just conducted another insemination
>this year and her due date is around June 8, 9, 10.
Happy BFF watching!
