black-footed ferret113 viewsBlack-footed ferrets went extinct in the wild in 1986. This is one of the last individuals living wild. A captive breeding and reintroduction program has re-established black-footed ferret populations in several states. Black-footed ferrets can be found on the Vermejo Ranch in northern New Mexico. There are none on the Wind River Ranch.

pasqueflower61 viewsPasqueflowers are one of the earliest to bloom in the spring (in Spanish pascua means easter). Look for them in the last week of March or first week in April. They will be blooming about the same time that turkey vultures return to their summer roosts. Pasqueflowers are living proof that fragility and beauty are not synonymous.

gray wolf by SIPAPU96 viewsThe gray wolf is no longer on the Wind River Ranch but the Mexican wolf has been reintroduced into southern New Mexico and Arizona. In the Lower 48 states, the wolf occupies about 5% of its original range. Wolves are key species that helped develop and maintain ecological processes. Their influence trickles across trophic levels, affecting species that seem very distant (ecologically) from the wolf, right down to affecting the microbial content of soils.

Gunnison's prairie dog141 viewsPrairie dogs have declined to the point where they inhabit only about 97% of their original geographic range, largely due to poisoning campaigns and plague (an introduced disease). They were a key species in developing and maintaining ecological processes on the prairie, but they no longer exist in numbers or distribution to have a large effect n ecological or evolutionary processes. This particular individual is part of as group that were reintroduced onto the Wind River Ranch.Apr 08, 2008
