The black footed ferret is native to North America in the grassland biome and are today found in the Great Plains states such as Montana, New Mexico, and Arizona where they live on prairie dog towns.The black footed ferret lives in the North American prairie and grassland. There are three distinct areas of prairie - Tall-grass prairie, Mixed-grass prairie and Short-grass prairie.

In the United States, the greatest stretch of grassland is the prairie, extending from the Appalachians in the East to the Rocky Mountains in the West. Being in the center of the North American land mass, far from the moderating influence of major bodies of water, there is a great range of annual temperature.The dominant vegetation in these biotic communities is blue grama, mixed with galleta grass, Indian rice grass, and other grasses.
