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
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

An endangered black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) in a preconditioning pen at the USFWS National Black-footed Ferret Conservation Center in Colorado.
"Preconditioning is an important pre-cursor to reintroducing captive bred black-footed ferrets into the wild. Ferrets are placed in outdoor pens for a minimum of 30 days. While in these pens, they are exposed to natural burrow systems and have the opportunity to encounter live prairie dogs.

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.
