      Have they reintroduced black-footed ferrets along with the prairie dogs?
    • Arizona Docent
      @DavidBrown Sadly not down here in the south. The only introductions in Arizona have been in the northern part of the state. However I think prairie dog reintroductions down here are still in the early stages so the population may not yet be self sustaining enough to support ferret predation.
