[C] Mall Hangout for Zarry

Love doing some Summertown stuff, especially featuring the actual mall itself! It was a lotta fun to play around with this one.  Also the Lore between Burg's burgers and Sam's Sandwiches goes crazy!  Commission and Krys belong to Zarry!

At just a month old, this black-footed ferret kit doesn't fit the description of fierce, but don't be fooled. With a little time and nurturing from the National Black-footed Ferret Conservation Center in Colorado, this sleepy cutie will be ready to be reintroduced to the wild. At about three months old, they are adept at hunting prairie dogs and are about 90% full grown.  Black-footed ferrets used to be found through much of western North America's Great Plains, extending from Canada to Mexico. With the help of the Center, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and many partners, these endangered animals are part of a very successful reintroduction program.  Their adorable face masks are all unique to the individual, just like our fingerprints. You can see why they're affectionately nicknamed BFFs. Photo by Kelsey, National Black-footed Ferret Conservation Center.

A little mid-week #conservationoptimism |Repost @ilcp_photographers | The black-footed ferret was thought to be extinct twice in the 20th century due to human and natural threats. The last surviving population of black-footed ferrets was found in Meeteetse, Wyoming in 1981. Since then significant efforts have been made to recover the population and there are now over 300 animals living wild in North America. This is an example of the impact of the U.S. Endangered Species Act and those who helped create it like Nathaniel Reed.

Flashback to the endangered Black-footed Ferret I taxidermied for the University of Colorado. These BFFs, as they are called, live in central North American, mostly on the prairies. Their favorite food is the Prairie Dog— Prey that can be much bigger than them! Amazing that we have wild ferrets right here in the USA.

Some progress on the Black-footed Ferret for a university exhibit. (These are an endangered and protected species under special permit.)
