I don't think our colonists ever saw a Black Footed Ferret. Please, someone correct me if I am wrong here, but the DFF lives exclusively on the Great Plains...its food source was/is the prairie dog. I don't believe our settlers made it to the Great Plains until the mid to late 1700's. MC (Joe, The rude one) [Posted in FML issue 2237]
