Mothra, a female black-footed ferret waits for pieces of prairie dog to be delivered to eat at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Black-footed Ferret Conservation Center in Wellington, Colorado April 11, 2007. By 1980 it was believed that the black-footed ferret was extinct when a group of only 18 was discovered in Wyoming. With breeding taking place at the Conservation Center, the wild population is now around 500. REUTERS/Rick Wilking (UNITED STATES)
