The National Zoo’s ferretcam, guys. Baby black-footed ferrets and their mamas. I hereby apologize to all y’all’s bosses because you’re going to get nothing done for the rest of the day.
(Scroll down and click on the image of the nesting box to start the cam going.)

Awwww, one is having ferret-ish dreams and jogging his little legs!
ZOMG! Fishing Cat Cam! PandaCam! Clouded Leopard Cam!!!!!
You, Athenae, are an evil woman.
I’ve been hooked for a couple of years on the Amazon River cam. Soothing, watching the nice little fishies, until a 6-footer swims past.
Three words that make me squeeee: NAKED MOLE-RAT CAM.
“Naked Mole Rat Cam”??? Oh, phew! I thought it was a live-feed from Cheney’s undisclosed naked room!!!
(the ferretses are too frakkin’ cute!!!!)

Crazy question: As I remember it, Black-footed ferrets are from, I believe, the upper midwest and are having population problems.
There are a growing number of ferret afficianados.
Has anyone considered a captive breeding program to generate excess ferrets who would be pets? I believe ferrets breed pretty prolifically.
From history, the big problem would be that the pet trade would then start monkeying around with the breeding to produce ferrets with strange attributes, which would then remove their usefulness as a species survival plan.
dammit. fucking windows based platform. grrrrrrrrrr, snarl, hiss.
