摘要: The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) (Figure 27.1) is a small, secretive, nocturnal member of the family Mustelidae (Hall, 1981; Honacki, Kurman and Koeppl, 1982). Ferrets have an obligate dependence on prairie dog (Cynomys spp.) community, utilizing for food its burrows shelter (Campbell et al., 1987).
