How does a black footed ferret meet its needs in their environment?

Black-footed ferrets are carnivores (meat-eaters) and their survival depends on prairie dogs as their main food source. A prairie dog is as large as or larger than a black-footed ferret. The ferret will attack a prairie dog below ground at night when the prairie dog is sleeping. The ferret places a bite on the neck of the prairie dog to suffocate it. Black-footed ferrets eat all parts of the prairie dog and have sharp teeth that can easily shear through the prairie dog bones. They also eat small rodents such as mice, eggs and small reptiles. Black footed ferrets do not dig their own burrows, and require the burrows of prairie dogs for shelter to live in, sometimes of prairie dogs they have eaten. Prairie dogs are rodents and live in aggregations called towns or colonies in burrows which can be as much as 15 feet deep and 60 feet long and sometimes connect with other burrows.
