Hi All!
 
Summary from Greenlines issue:
 
An article from the Salt Lake Tribune said wildlife officials released 19
black-footed ferrets into a protected pen on the Colorado/Utah border.  The
ferrets will live next to a prairie dog colony, and the scientists involved
hope the ferrets will learn to hunt for themselves.  They hope that it will
happen by next fall and then they will get released if it all works out.
It would be the fifth release of black-footed ferrets.  Their goal is to
establish 10 breeding colonies.  Let's keep our fingers crossed!  Can you
believe that there were only 18 ferrets at one time, but now they've raised
the number to 700 thru captive breeding.  200 of them are in the wild.
 
Keep Ferreting!
