#menageriemonday #ferrets #digitalpainting. ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ Hope y'all enjoyed the weekend! Here are some Black-Footed Ferrets! ๐๐๐ #Ferret #Fact - These ferrets are the only ferrets native to North America. Due to habitat destruction and the rapid decline of their primary food source, Black-Footed Ferrets have been endangered for many years. Back in 1986, only 16 were estimated left alive, and all of them in captivity. Though conservation efforts have increased their population, reintroduction efforts have proved difficult, as reintroduced ferrets lack survival skills learned in the wild, while being hunted by other predators, such as eagles and coyotes. ๐ฆ๐บ๐ฑ If you like the animal art, are in the #fargomoorhead area, and want to see more, go visit the @rourkemuseum museum before August 19 and see the entirety of Menagerie II hanging on their walls. Menagerie II was made possible through a partnership with the @redriverzoo - so go visit them as well! ๐๐บ๐ #endangeredspecies #endangeredanimalsย #ferretsofinstagram #ferretsoninstagram #menagerie #menagerie2 #menagerieII #animalart #zoo #artgallery #artmuseum #painting #digitalpainting #drawing #digitaldrawing #art #animalartist #redriverzoo #rourkeartmuseum #artshow #animalportraits #nature #animals (at The Rourke Art Gallery + Museum)
