In 1986, only 18 black-footed ferrets were known to survive; a captive-breeding programme built from those animals has helped restore about 400 to the wild
In 1986, just 18 black-footed ferrets remained known to science. 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.
