Black footed ferrets lives in the grassland biome and they depends largely on prairie dogs. They prey on them, and they use their burrows for shelter and denning. (The prairie dogs builds them but then the ferrets takes over later.) They use the same habitat used by prairie dogs: grassland and prairie. The black footed ferrets are native to North America. They inhabits temperate grassland. They use to live throughout North America’s Great Plains, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Wyoming and portions of Canada and Mexico before their home got destroyed. Today they are extinct in the wild but a lot of them live in different national parks over North America. They are reintroduced successfully to 15 locations near where they use to live: the states of Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, Arizona, Utah, Colorado and Chihuahua, Mexico
