Hope for a Species

Black-footed ferrets are one of the most endangered species on earth. But now there is hope.

There were two black-footed ferret births on June 20th and 21st. There was nothing spectacular about the births except that both were results of inseminations with frozen semen from males that had died over a decade ago. Such things are often unsuccessful, and it gives hope to scientists that the species may thrive yet again.
