black footed ferret and zinnias
black footed ferrets were brought back from the brink of extinction. at the lowest, 18 individuals left. they actually cloned a black footed ferret to help avoid inbreeding and the population has grown significantly
Tumblr media
zinnias represent endurance, and I specifically chose prairie zinnias that share their habitat with the ferrets and feed some of their prey
black footed ferrets have always been special to me, I’ve seen some in captivity and always wanted to see one in the wild. I hope the population will continue to increase and I’ll get my chance

The black footed ferret was declared extinct in 1979, but just a few years later a small enclave was found in Wyoming. In the decades since then, conservation efforts have helped to bring their numbers back up and there are four self-sustaining populations over several states. ©Colorado Parks and Wildlife

The love given to the first piece inspired me to do another one with more flags!
ID: a digital drawing that features seven members of the Mustelidae family, colored with the palettes of different pride flags. From left to right and top to bottom: a wolverine with the theme of the intersex pride flag, behind it, there are purple and yellow circles; a chinese ferret-badger with the genderqueer pride flag colors, and some sparkly onomatopoeias in the same colors; a black-footed ferret colored with the genderfluid pride flag, a heart in blue, pink and white and a line with the flag colors besides it; a river otter with the aroace pride flag colors, as well as exclamation onomatopoeias; a steppe polecat in the demiboy pride flag colors, a crown and a heart over his head; a striped polecat colored with the demigirl pride colors, which also has a little crown and a heart around; lastly, an american badger colored in the queer flag, and holding a little one. End ID.

Number 2 of the extinction series, and it's another success story.
Or, well... Sort of. The black footed ferret population is still insanely low at around 350. But considering that they were once thought to be entirely extinct, they're at least doing better than they were, thanks to concerted and ongoing conservation efforts!

Obeisance
Matthias getting ready to channel his electric god.
Description: A ferret man with hands upraised and upturned face smiles into the wires which lead from connections in his skull into an unseen ceiling. The black wires are lit with the same red color of his eyes. He kneels in black robes with a motif of poppy flowers stitched into the fabric in red. His bare chest is tattooed with poppies blooming from wires that wind up his shoulders and into his curling black hair.

Huh, I didn't expect to see so many cool mustelids while I was here. Guess I'm just super lucky.
Just kidding! Of course, these are all taxidermy from the American Museum of Natural History. I'll be posting some more photos soon, but I could only fit so many in one post. Enjoy these for now!
