Black-footed ferrets are small predators that live on large prairie dog colonies. They sleep in prairie dog burrows during the day and hunt prairie dogs at night. The black-footed ferret is the only ferret species native to North America. Its closest relatives are the European polecat and the Siberian, or steppe polecat.
