Licking those chops thinking about a meal

October 27, 2017 by Tony Leave a Comment

Assembling my images for my 2017 photo book and you can be guaranteed there will be a few shots of this rare creature. The Black-footed Ferret is North America’s rarest animal and my encounter with this one in April was definitely ‘one for the books.’

Myself and a few other photographers were lucky enough to spend more than three hours watching it as it went around to various Prairie Dog burrows looking for something to eat. Few people have had the privilege of seeing this endangered species in the wild so I definitely count myself lucky.
