Today, roughly 400 are estimated to live in the wild, following decades of captive breeding and reintroduction efforts, according to the U.S. The latest sign of that recovery came in May, when six black-footed ferret kits were born at the Smithsonian’s research campus in Front Royal, Virginia. By the mid-1980s, only 18 ferrets remained. USFWS currently estimates that around 280 black-footed ferrets remain at captive-breeding facilities, while the wild population stands at roughly 400.

A dress worn by Princess Diana to a party in London hours after a documentary was televised in which the then-Prince Charles admitted to committing adultery during their marriage is going up for auction. Auction house Sotheby's expects the dress to sell for up to $300,000 (£220,000) when it goes under the hammer on 9 December. A press release from Sotheby's said it is the first time the dress has been offered at auction since 1997, when the late princess sold 79 of her dresses to raise money for charities. Morgane Halimi, Sotheby's Global Head of Handbags and Fashion, said in a statement that Princess Diana "understood instinctively" that fashion can be a language in its own right. "On her own terms, Princess Diana turned the dress into one of the most powerful messages she ever made, during one of the most scrutinised and emotionally charged episodes of her life," Halimi said.
