Last week, the zoo is open for 2024. Enjoy free admission Tuesday through Friday, and then join us for Boo @ the Zoo on Saturday and Sunday! (dismiss)

One of the most endangered animals in the world, the black-footed ferret, survives in small remnants of the North American prairies. Learn about the rich history and ecology of this species that once teetered on the brink of extinction and its comeback due to dedicated biologists, zoos, USFWS, DNR, Native American tribes and private landowners.

Our speaker is Travis Livieri, Executive Director, Prairie Wildlife Research.
